Main residence care assessment

I'm disabled and live with my mother in her home. I will live here indefinitely, after she's passed, but I will never own the property.
I receive a care package from social services.
I want to help my partner buy a home with some money another family member is willing to give for my benefit.
So this money won't come to me it would go toward the deposit but I would then most likely own 20% of that house. I can't work out if this would be counted in my care finance assessments as it would be the only home I have some legal ownership of but I wouldn't be there permanently?
They say they include the value of your main residence, I don't have one...
