Common questions
What types of retirement living are available in Mendip?
Mendip has Supported living options available. Retirement communities range from independent living apartments to assisted living villages with on-site care available if needed in the future.
Who oversees retirement living communities in Mendip?
Unlike care homes, retirement living developments in England are not regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The Associated Retirement Community Operators (ARCO) is the main trade body representing the sector, and many communities in Mendip are ARCO members. Where on-site personal care is offered, those care services are separately CQC-registered.
