Sheltered Housing

Sheltered Housing, sometimes known as Assisted Living, offers the best of independent living whilst remaining part of a friendly and sociable shared house. Meals, on-site staff and household bills are included in the price for the majority of our houses.

Dementia Friendly Care Homes

Our Dementia Friendly Care Homes have been designed to help support residents living with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other forms of memory loss. Our homes offer the same high quality support you’ll find in our care homes with extra support for those living with dementia.

Residential Care Homes

Our Residential Care Homes are designed for those with personal care needs requiring one-to-one support from a qualified carer. Live with the security of on-site staff who are there 24 hours a day to provide support, engaging activities and companionship.

Independent Living

Independent Living is designed for active, self-reliant individuals. It allows you to live completely self-sufficient with communal hubs to socialise and connect with your neighbours. At Abbeyfield we have a great selection of Independent Living apartments for older people across the UK.
