Interested in becoming a resident in an Abbeyfield House?
As a first step, check the locations of our Houses; you can then direct queries to the contact for a specific House, or get in touch with National Office for general inquires.
Once you are in touch with the House you hope to move in to, its admissions committee will arrange a tour and answer any questions you have about becoming a resident. The committee will also provide a Resident Application Form and a Medical Questionnaire.
Abbeyfield Houses provide a "home within a home" to lonely or isolated seniors who are no longer willing or able to live alone. It offers a warm, family-style house and a balance between privacy and companionship, security and independence, combined with the special caring element provided by dedicated volunteers.
A typical Abbeyfield House provides a bed-sitting room and private bathroom for each resident. Residents are free to furnish and decorate their rooms as they choose. A live-in house coordinator provides two home cooked meals a day that are eaten in a communal dining room. Breakfast is usually a self-serve/buffet. Most houses also include a garden or outdoor area.
Abbeyfield Houses are administered by non-profit societies and the cost is kept as low as possible; the monthly rental charges include all food and bills. All you have to worry about is getting to know your new neighbours!
As Abbeyfield is not a nursing home, residents should not need any long term nursing care; Abbeyfield aims to remove the stress of managing a house alone and to combat the isolation that many seniors face.
