We Provide

• comfortable communal facilities and use of garden

• housekeepers and/or other staff always in residence

• two high quality balanced meals per day, taken together in the communal dining room (breakfast is arranged by the resident)

• companionship of other residents, volunteers and staff

• social activities, outings and entertainments

• a support plan and access to the management team for regular consultation

• all rooms with sockets for telephone and televisions

• personal alarms are provided for each resident and these can either be worn as a pendant or there is a watch size version which can be worn on the wrist.

• Three of our houses have wireless broadband which is available to residents and staff without charge.

Respite Breaks

Subject to availability, we also offer respite breaks to non-resident guests who require supported accommodation with full board for a limited period.

We do not provide

• personal care such as help with bathing and dressing, as we are not a registered care home. However such extra care may be brought in if required.

• furniture - residents are expected to provide their own which allows familiar objects to be part of their move to Abbeyfield

• breakfasts - residents make their own breakfasts in their own room

• private telephone.
