Creating a Truly Welcoming Community for Families at Shipston Lodge

At Shipston Lodge, exceptional care must extend beyond the individual and embrace the family members who love and support them.

Our community is more than just a residence; it is a place where everyone can feel a sense of belonging and connection.

When residents join us, their families become part of our extended family. We recognise that moving into a care home is a significant life event.

It often brings a mixture of relief, hope, and uncertainty. That is why we strive to provide a warm and inclusive environment from the very beginning.

Families are encouraged to visit often and are always welcome to participate in our daily lives. Whether joining us for meals, celebrations, or casual coffee mornings in the lounge, there are many ways to feel part of the community.

The Lamb Inn, our in-house pub, offers a relaxed and familiar setting for family gatherings. Our events calendar is thoughtfully designed to include loved ones.

We host a variety of activities throughout the year, such as musical afternoons, garden parties, and themed fetes.

These shared experiences help build joyful memories and deepen relationships across generations. Children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are all warmly welcomed.

Open communication is key to maintaining these bonds. We keep families informed through regular updates, whether about care plans, daily routines, or special moments.

We also understand the emotional journey families go through. That is why we provide support and space for family members to talk, reflect, and feel heard.

At Shipston Lodge, we proudly offer more than just a care facility. We offer a home where love, laughter, and togetherness thrive.

Residents and their families are valued members of a compassionate community. Everyone deserves to feel truly at home, surrounded by the people who matter most.

That is the kind of welcoming environment we strive to nurture daily.
