A 13-bed care home for adults with learning disabilities or mental health needs could replace a former Isle of Wight hotel.

Kelly Pointing of the Call on Me care provider submitted a change of use application to the Isle of Wight Council to turn the former Parkway Hotel on Shanklin’s Park Road into assisted living accommodation.

The three storey, 16-bedroom hotel closed in August 2023, according to a statement from the applicant’s agent, Paul Stack Planning.

It says: “The lower ground floor would comprise three en suite bedrooms, three carer bedrooms, a kitchen, shared living room and staff kitchen.

“The ground floor will accommodate four en suite bedrooms, two self-contained flats, a carer bedroom and communal kitchen/diner and lounge whilst the first floor will provide for two self-contained flats, two en suite bedrooms and a carers bedroom.

“Call on Me has been trading for four years…they have received positive feedback, especially around reducing packages of support by focusing individuals on achieving goals in a proactive way and positively managing risks.

“The age range is anticipated to be 18–54-year-olds with a learning disability or mental health need, whilst developing a pathway option for 16–25-year-olds.”

The Parkway Hotel ceased trading after becoming financially unviable – a result of ‘rising operational costs’ and a ‘significant decline’ in tourism, according to its former operator.

County Hall’s public consultation on application 25/01427/FUL finishes on November 7 and a decision is expected on November 24.
