All Inclusive Residential Care Home
in Shipston-on-Stour
What Does All Inclusive Mean at Shipston Lodge?
Here at Shipston Lodge, our family-run nursing home in Shipston-on-Stour, our aim is for our home to be the very best around. That’s why we operate a truly all-inclusive pricing policy.
This means just one weekly fee to consider, no expensive upfront fees or hidden additional charges. We believe that an open and transparent pricing structure provides peace of mind to our customers as they don’t have to worry about budgeting for anything extra, and visiting loved ones don’t have to consider the cost of a cup of tea and bite to eat every time they visit. It just makes our home’s atmosphere more cheerful and relaxed. Find out more about our home and team here.
