About us

At heart, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional care to the residents of Isle of Wight.

By treating residents and staff as family, we're working toward a society where everyone has access to compassionate and affordable care.

Our story

At Island Healthcare, we believe in the power of care to transform lives. Since 2003, our family-run business has been dedicated to providing the highest quality care to residents of the Isle of Wight.

Our journey began when Maggie and Nigel Bennett, brought their wealth of experience in the care sector to the table and purchased Highfield House, our first care home in Shanklin. Over the years, we have expanded to six homes and a small domiciliary care service, serving 160 people and counting.

Making a difference

We believe in the power of community and in keeping families connected. Our homes are set in beautiful rural locations, and we encourage regular visits from friends and relatives.

We believe in getting to know each resident on a personal level, understanding their life story, likes, dislikes and preferences so we can create opportunities to make them happy and engaged in daily life.
