Care in Warwickshire
Shipston Lodge, proud to offer expert nursing care to the people of Shipston-on-Stour and beyond. Here at Shipston Lodge Nursing Home, we love being part of the thriving market town of Shipston-on-Stour – but our community stretches much further than this, as we’re lucky to have some wonderful places on our doorstep. Not only is Shipston-on-Stour the best place to live in the Midlands, but we are surrounded by places of interest, including Hidcote, Batsford Arboretum, Compton Verney, Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – we touched on some of these in our article on our five favourite days out under 30 minutes away. Whether you live right here in Shipston-on-Stour, elsewhere in Warwickshire such as Stratford-upon-Avon, over the border into Worcestershire in Broadway, in Gloucestershire’s idyllic towns of Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh, or in Oxfordshire’s Chipping Norton, Banbury or Hook Norton, our nursing home isn’t far away. Why not come and say hello and have a coffee in our lovely café? In fact, Shipston Lodge Nursing Home is in the ideal location, close to all amenities yet just a stone’s throw from beautiful countryside, and well-connected to neighbouring towns and villages by road and rail.

It’s great to get involved with the villages surrounding Shipston-on-Stour when the Shipston Proms are going on, such as Tredington, Armscote, Honington, Upper Brailes, Lower Brailes, Willington, Darlingscott, Charingworth, Stretton-on-Fosse, Ebrington and Burmington. We enjoy getting out and about whenever we can here at Shipston Lodge Nursing Home, seeing the stunning countryside right here on our doorstep and taking our residents out to places they’d like to go near to Shipston-on-Stour. We love going on day trips a little further afield too, to culturally interesting places such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Chipping Norton, Hook Norton, Broadway, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh and Banbury; we’re so lucky that our nursing home is in this central location in the heart of the country, close to all sorts of charming towns and villages. If you’re coming to visit us here at Shipston Lodge Nursing Home in Shipston-on-Stour, why not stop in a pretty village on your way here or way home for a little look around?

Or why not look a little closer to Shipston-on-Stour? As we’re lucky enough to have Armscote, Tredington, Honington, Willington, Burmington and Darlingscott all just a stone’s throw from our nursing home. If you’re heading over from Banbury, pop into Wroxton, Shenington, Hornton or Swalcliffe, or if you’re coming from Moreton-in-Marsh, choose from Batsford, Lower Lemington, Stretton-on-Fosse, Todenham or Great Wolford and Little Wolford.

Our Care Vision
“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”
What our residents and relatives say
“Outstanding service! They accommodated my 90-year-old mother on short notice due to her hip dislocation. The staff, food, and support during her week-long stay were excellent. I was tempted to check in myself!”
“My 92-year-old grandma, with complex health issues, found a suitable place at Shipston Lodge after navigating NHS challenges. The top-notch facilities, dedicated staff, and high-quality care provide reassurance for her and our family in her twilight years.”
“My relative has been in three care homes in the past two years, and this is the one that shows caring. The staff know their residents and have a lovely way with them. We appreciate it very much. We like the atmosphere and approach of everyone here. Thank you very much.”
“Mum has been here for ten months now. She has settled brilliantly, and the staff know her really well. Care is always dignified and respectful, and Mum is as well looked after as if she lived with family.”
“I’m impressed with Shipston Lodge since my wife moved there. The staff, care, and quality of the home are excellent. She’s happy, and I’m confident she’s in good hands. The friendly staff keeps me updated on her well-being.”
“Mum came into Shipston Lodge, and within days, she felt settled and at “home”. The staff have been amazing in helping her to adjust. Mum has nothing but praise for the staff, how she is treated with dignity and respect, and how fast they respond to the call bells. Mum has said it’s like a luxury hotel. The food is good, and the variety is amazing. From my point, the staff keep us informed of any changes in Mum’s needs.”
“My father has been a resident at Shipston Lodge since early December. The consistency of care and sensitivity of the staff is apparent from the outset. I have felt assured that he is not just ‘looked after’ but ‘cared for’. All interactions at every level for myself and his friends when making phone enquiries or visiting in person have been pleasant, courteous and shown understanding.”
“The biggest difference with Shipston Lodge is that all the staff really care and go that extra mile with the care. This must be a culture as everyone is the same. The atmosphere is always upbeat and cheery. It’s a very hard thing to let someone else look after your loved one, but this place really is the best.”

About
Since 2003, our family has been providing high-quality care, and we found that to create the best care home, it’s about more than simply meeting people’s healthcare needs. It’s about the people who live in a home and we believe that they should be empowered to enjoy the highest possible quality of life. Care always starts with safety and we have standards and quality monitoring in place to ensure that your loved one is provided with safe, effective care – however, this is just the beginning. Our onsite chefs work with our residents to make each mealtime a culinary delight, and our expert activities and care teams provide all sorts of events, clubs and opportunities to socialise, making each day different. We collect details of people’s past interests and hobbies and use these to create ‘magical moments’ for our residents. Come to Shipston Lodge to start creating wonderful memories with us.
