Questions families ask

What should learning disability care homes offer?

Good learning disability support should be person-centred, promote choice and help people maintain skills and community connections. Ask how communication and decision-making are adapted for each resident.

How many learning disability care homes are there in Isle of Wight?

15 learning disability care homes in Isle of Wight are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Isle of Wight?

Isle of Wight council paid on average £904 a week for residential care and £1,044 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £1,629 and £1,531. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.
