support an adult aged dependent

My 23 year old son is financially supported by me.

I pay his rent, his car insurance, and for food.

He only works very part-time.

A tax consultant told me last year I could not longer claim head of household since he is not in college.

But is there a category for "supporting another person"?  and if so, what are the tax benefits to me and how do I claim them?
Also, last year I told my son to put himself down on his taxes as my dependent, but then found out I cant claim head of household.  If he amends his last year taxes, could there be a retroactive financial benefit to him?
thanks
