Care homes on the Isle of Wight offer complete support across all care types, including residential, nursing, and palliative care. Whether you’re looking for a long-term solution or short-term respite, the island has a range of compassionate, highly rated homes.
Care homes here have lots of character. Many are purpose-built, such as Northbrooke House, and feature light-filled lounges, accessible garden paths, and sea-view terraces. You can filter by preference above to find the perfect fit, with other facilities to look for including en-suite bathrooms, hair and beauty salons, and even spas or cinema rooms.
Residents have lots of activities to choose from: creative sessions inspired by the coastline, storytelling clubs centred on local history, or live music events featuring folk performers from the community. Homes frequently host seasonal celebrations, such as harvest festivals or carol evenings, and encourage family involvement through weekend coffee mornings or open house lunches. Some also organise day trips to places like Shanklin Beach or Ventnor Botanic Garden.
Use our free service to narrow down your choices by care type. Residential care homes promote independence by supporting with daily tasks like getting dressed and washing. Alternatively, look for homes that provide nursing or dementia care, where staff are specially trained to support more advanced medical needs if those are your requirements.
We’re here to help you with expert advice, clear information, and personalised support - every step of the way. Our free, tailored care home shortlist means you can save time searching and make quicker, confident decisions.
