About Us

Powys House Residential Home is a care home in East Cowes, on the Isle of Wight. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people managing a mental health condition, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places.

Stability is the main thing we try to offer. A number of the people who come here have moved between placements more often than anyone should, and each move undoes work that took months to build. So we plan on the basis that people are staying, and we do not treat a difficult week as grounds for reconsidering.

Living here is meant to be ordinary. People have their own rooms and routines, come and go, use the town and make their own decisions. Being on the Island means things are within reach and people are known locally as individuals rather than as residents of somewhere.

Where somebody does not use speech, we learn how they tell us things, and we treat behaviour as information.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.

Families and social workers are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
