"Selling my home and moving into Abbeyfield was a difficult decision to make, but I’m so glad I made it. The house is comfortable, bright and secure. The staff, volunteers and other residents are all friendly and helpful and I was able to settle into my new home very quickly. I carry on my life without worrying about all the usual problems with having your own home. Recently I had my 90th birthday party at the house with all my old and new friends and family. Leaving your own home is very difficult but I have not regretted my decision at all!"  Talk to us – we have been providing a home from home for people just like you for over 40 years. Some of our residents have been with us for more than 20 years!  The following facilities are common to both sheltered houses:  ·         Live in Housekeeper ·         “Lifeline” alarm system. ·         Nursecall alarm system. ·         24 hour remote fire monitoring. ·       Parking facilities ·        All food provided and a cooked lunch served each day in the main dining room Volunteers:  We rely heavily on our volunteers – without them our Society would not be able to provide the quality and level of support that our residents receive.
