Abbeyfield Supported Housing offers residents the independence of having their own room in a home from home environment. Our Supported Housing is similar to other assisted living or sheltered housing type homes in that you live with us as independently as you wish, but if you need a little more care and support it’s there.

Staff and volunteers at an Abbeyfield Supported House all adopt our values of looking after the whole person – body and mind – and enhancing the lives of people living with us.
Providing Care Homes for older people across the country
What is a Residential Care Home?
In the UK residential care home – usually just called Care Homes – are for older people with relatively low care needs. This type elderly accommodation is for people who are frail, but do not require nursing or specialist care. At a Care Home the support services are more along the lines of help with washing, dressing and other daily living activities.
