Abbeyfield houses provide appropriate, affordable group housing for older people seeking companionship and support in a community where they have links.
Houses are planned, designed and furnished to provide an environment which is homelike and provides privacy, physical and personal security.
Houses are established and operated by community-based societies, non-profit volunteer organisations which are responsible for the day to day operation of the house and the well being of residents and staff.
Residents participate in management and decision-making.
Residents are independent, control their own lives and are provided with the information and support needed to retain their independence and freedom.
Residents, staff and volunteers acknowledge the necessity of maintaining an appropriate balance between individual and group rights and responsibilities.
Residents are free to enjoy independent relationships with family and friends and to pursue their own social, cultural, religious and leisure activities.
Abbeyfield uses effective management practices in relation to its administration, communication and human resources
