About Bowens Field
Bowens Field provides residential care and tailored support for people with learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries and complex needs. The home is part of Voyage Care, whose services include registered care homes, supported living and support in the community or in a person’s own home.
Support is organised around individual goals, preferences and values, with teams helping people build meaningful lives, independence and connection. The wider service offers flexible pathways across different settings, so families and commissioners can consider the type of support that best matches changing circumstances. Bowens Field is therefore suited to people seeking a registered residential setting within a broader specialist support network.

Questions families ask
How much does Bowens Field cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Bowens Field for its weekly fee. As a guide, Shropshire council paid on average £2,227 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Bowens Field whether it takes residents funded by Shropshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
