AIM: To provide accommodation and companionship for lonely older people within their own local community.

WE OFFER: Affordable, supportive care Houses in which a group of ten to fifteen residents live like a large "family".

WE ARE NON-PROFIT: House ownership and care support is undertaken by community volunteers, often with help from service clubs and churches.

WE ARE TIME-PROVEN: Founded over fifty years ago, there are now over 1,100 Abbeyfield Houses around the world with 9,000 residents and 13,000 volunteers, providing an enhanced, extended and healthy lease on life for our elders.


AN ABBEYFIELD HOUSE IS NOT A NURSING HOME

Abbeyfield Houses Society of Canada develops the Abbeyfield concept of care in Canada. This involves assisting the startup and advising of existing local Societies on subjects such as finance, legislation, insurance, architectural standards, House management, volunteer guidelines and resident selection.
