What is Abbeyfield?

 

·        Abbeyfield is a concept that originated in the United Kingdom where today there are 800 Abbeyfield Houses.  There are 25 Abbeyfield Houses in Canada including several in British Columbia and Ontario, and another 300 around the world.

 

·        The Abbeyfield concept is a small community of retired seniors who live in an Abbeyfield house, enjoying life with companionship when they want it and privacy when they need it.

 

·        Abbeyfield residents are people who choose not to live alone any more.  Some just like the idea of being part of a small friendly group; others are simply tired of the upkeep of their own house.

 

 

“When I came here, I found real care and concern.  It’s like being part of a family again, every day.”
