Abbeyfield operates on a non-profit basis. It has a core of local and on-site management, care, domestic and maintenance staff, supported by volunteers. Volunteers do not receive any remuneration, and gifts to staff and volunteers are discouraged.

Abbeyfield believes firmly that its houses should be accessible to older people no matter what their income may be. Charges for residents are very reasonable. Roughly half the residents in its houses pay the charges out of their pension and, if applicable, their income - often generated by the sale of their house. Residents on a low income can obtain help through the state benefit system. Abbeyfield does not, and must not, give financial advice, but they can put people in touch with organisations in a position to help.

Please contact us to determine current charges.

This includes rent, meals and service charges (cleaning, laundry, room redecoration, personal alarms).
