Shipston Home Nursing

Your ‘Hospice at Home’ for patients and their families facing incurable illnesses

We are a local Charity founded in 1997 with the purpose of caring for patients with illnesses which do not respond to curative treatment and who wish to be nursed at home.  Our Nursing Services are managed through a team of Registered General Nurses specialising in palliative care supported by Health Care Assistants. We care for the patient and their family, in their own homes throughout the period of their illness.

Our service covers Shipston, Wellesbourne, Kineton and the surrounding villages and  is completely free of charge.

We depend on the ongoing generosity of our supporters and donors to ensure that this free community service, continues to provide high quality nursing care to families facing terminal illness, with the required expertise and support.

We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support we receive from the community we serve.

Messages of condolence

Sending much love to all the family. You are very much in my prayers xx

Mrs Lisa Lane

Christine was a wonderful, kind, caring and friendly person. I was fortunate to get to know her first as a work colleague and then a dear friend at Moreton Morrell College. Her friendly manner as Laboratory technician touched the hearts of students and staff alike. She was a special lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with all her family during this very difficult time. With our sincere condolences. Mike and Lesley Wells

Mr Michael Wells
