About Low Furlong
At Low Furlong, we provide residential and dementia care for older adults, younger adults, and people living with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments, right in the heart of Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire. We are proud to have received an Outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission, and that recognition means a great deal to us because it reflects the honest, everyday effort that goes into supporting each person who lives here. We believe that coming into a care home should feel like a genuine move into a home, not a clinical transition. That means we take time to understand who each person is, what matters to them, what their routines look like, and how they like to spend their days. Whether someone is with us permanently or staying for a period of respite, we want them to feel settled, respected, and genuinely at ease. Dementia care is a significant part of what we do, and we approach it thoughtfully. We know that living with dementia affects not just the individual but the people around them too, so we try to keep families involved and well informed throughout. Our approach focuses on preserving dignity and enabling people to live as fully as possible within their own experience. For those living with physical disabilities or sensory impairments, we work to make sure the environment and the support we offer genuinely fits around their needs rather than expecting them to fit around us. Shipston on Stour is a lovely community and we feel fortunate to be part of it.
