CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Westminster House is a 10-bed residential care home in Newport, Isle of Wight, run by Isle of Wight Council. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Isle of Wight, where the typical home has 24 beds.
About 1.1 km away, Newport Residential Care Limited is rated Outstanding. 3 of Isle of Wight Council’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). In Isle of Wight, 71% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in January 2026. In Isle of Wight, 82% of homes score 5.
Its CQC rating, from July 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from December 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Isle of Wight, 49% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
