Emerald Agency

Emerald Agency is a home care agency based in Ryde, in the Isle of Wight council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Ryde office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Westhill IOW. The agency has been registered since February 2011.

At its latest inspection, published July 2026, the CQC rated Emerald Agency Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
