Nestled on the outskirts of the rural town of Shipston-on-Stour, Low Furlong is a purpose-built 68 bed residential home providing excellent standards of care for older people, including those living with dementia.
An easy, 10-minute walk from the centre of this beautiful market town, Low Furlong is ideally situated with easy access to the countryside, as well as the convenience of nearby shops. With historic Stratford-upon-Avon a mere 15 minutes away by car, this well-appointed and welcoming care home enjoys the benefits of a central location but with the calm, quiet charm of semi-rural position.
As part of a modern development, Low Furlong has been planned with the needs of residents very much in mind. All bedrooms feature a very high standard of decoration, including en-suite bathrooms and pleasant views over raised flower beds - premium rooms even boast doors leading out into their own patio or the communal seating area.
Low Furlong is entirely access-friendly throughout with wide, spacious corridors contributing to the bright and airy feel, whilst still ensuring that residents of all levels of mobility can enjoy the freedom to move around in maximum comfort and safety.
The home has been thoughtfully decorated throughout with the inclusion of dementia-friendly colour schemes, as well as both quiet and 'retro' lounges - the latter featuring decoration and furniture from yesteryear, in addition to hand-picked antiques which residents are encouraged to interact with.
The innovative idea of having dedicated street names and individual room numbers allows residents to maintain a personal postage address - enabling individuals to retain their identity and independence whilst still enjoying the benefits of professional care and support.

Having spent a very emotional weekend supporting my husband's grandma during her final few days, I was extremely impressed with the care and compassion of everyone working at the care home. Nothing was too much bother for them and always happy to help. They helped support all of our family during a very difficult time and showed empathy at any given time. I would highly recommend Low Furlong - our grandma was very happy here. They made her final months special! Thank you.

My Mum settled at Low Furlong very quickly and with surprising ease which is the testament to how well the residents are cared for. Within two weeks she was happy to stay and after three weeks is very positive that it is the right place for her. Her room to which she has her own front door is bright and warm with a lovely shower room ensuite. Since becoming a resident her mobility has improved as has her general health. She takes part in activities of which there is a good variety with the encouragement of the staff. All the staff are very friendly and treat my Mum with the respect she deserves and I have no concerns about her care. I am always made welcome when I visit and feel comfortable in what is a caring environment.
