Ryde House Group has confirmed tonight (Thursday) that is has withdrawn official notices handed to the Isle of Wight Council in respect of 12 vulnerable residents, who previously faced being evicted from their residential home.
Representatives from Ryde House Group and the Isle of Wight Council met on Wednesday morning and it was jointly agreed that both organisations would continue working together focusing on ensuring that the needs of the affected residents and their families remain at the centre of any decision making.
The news comes after the Council revealed last month that Ryde House Group had sought to stop providing care to 12 adults in their care.
During the meeting, the Council and Ryde House clarified their positions and both parties agreed to adopt an approach to the contractual dispute resolution process which is more amenable to a mutually-agreeable and person-centred outcome, including seeking an independent review of the assessed eligible care and support needs of the people involved.
Whilst this process is ongoing the Council has confirmed that it will continue to fund Ryde House Group based on the current level of support it provides to each of the individuals affected.
In view of this agreement, Ryde House Group now feels it is able to ensure that those affected can continue to receive the level of care the Ryde House Group believes they need to remain safe and to live as fulfilled lives as possible. Therefore, Ryde House Group has withdrawn the current notices, which were served on the Council on 26thSeptember, in respect of the 12 residents affected by the Council’s assessment.
Both Ryde House Group and the Council have met with all of the families affected and will continue to support them and to keep them updated as this matter progresses.
Island Echo is told that Ryde House Group and the Council will continue to explore all options to resolve this matter. Until such a time as any remaining areas of dispute between the parties are resolved, no further public discussion of progress should be expected.
Why did they put the relatives of the 12 through so much worry and concern when they could have settled this months ago

Please can people sign this petition? Just incase families need help and support, if this all falls through??
and in the meantime, us taxpayers are footing the bill for “care” that the residents do not need, according to the council – £1358 per week, per person. The average single taxpayer with no kids, living in a one bed rented flat, spends about £250 a week on food/bills and some travel – discretionary expenses, such as cars excluded. – The rest of this £1358 a week is clearly going on staff wages, admin, pension contributions, income tax, national insurance and other expenses for staff.
They used the residents as bargaining chips to rinse more money from the council to give theirselves pay rises more like.
If you realised what sort of care was needed by these residents you would understand the impact it would have if they weren’t supported. Simple minded people like yourselves don’t think about those more vulnerable than you.
Dave c – those that resort to insults are the simple minded ones – your comment clarifies your position.
The figures quoted are accurate and as such the amount of money provided to these homes is adequate – they do not eat, drink or use any more heating than any other individual.
How disappointing to read how your brain works…. Human care is so under charged by council’s and health boards and staff are underpaid to care for humans.. Go get a job in Merton care and see their are no fat cats…
@fulltime carer ..
so come on then – where is all the money going?
As stated earlier, they do not eat, drink or use any more heating etc than any other human being. So what is the rest of the £1358 per person being spent on.
If there weren’t so many people in this country sponging off the state, then there would be more cash available for round the clock watching of those that are totally dependent on others.
Have a look around you – drug users, liars, hypochondriacs, benefit cheats, layabouts, those having countless children with no means of supporting them, alcoholics, asylum seekers and many more all claiming money from the state for their alleged issues or circumstances.
Had they not been claiming this money, then perhaps it would have been partly diverted to supporting those that genuinely cannot support themselves and the rest refunded to those of us who are paying all this damned taxation, when we should be enjoying the financial benefits of our work for ourselves, not having it taken in tax, against our will.
