It varies depending on the setting and the individual’s needs. Supported living for more able people is often self-contained flats in a complex with support workers living on site and a range of shared facilities such as an activity room, communal sitting room etc; people with higher support needs might have their own bedroom in a setting more like a residential home, eating meals in a shared dining room. Your relative and their child will likely look at a range of options before deciding which is the best fit.

My brother has been in supported living for a good few years now and it's been absolutely brilliant for him. It gives him safe independence and he has so much more confidence than he used to have.

I spend part of the week working in supported living / sheltered accomodation, mainly people with dementia or learning difficulties.
Basically it depends upon what level of support he needs, some have an hour some need much more.
Does he have full capability and would he be able to come and go as he pleases.
I would check up and see if the service offers any activities and find out how regularly they are held. Some homes have no budget for this.
