The Abbeyfield Society was founded in 1956 to provide care and companionship for lonely, older people. It is our firm belief:

  • That older people have an important role to play amongst their families, friends and in their community.
  • That overcoming loneliness and insecurity can make all the difference to an older person's wellbeing and quality of life.
  • That local people have an essential part to play in helping older people in their community.

Our purpose is to provide older people with their own home within the security and companionship of small households that can become focal points for goodwill and friendly contact within the community.

Abbeyfield is an international organisation with houses in Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Belgium, Japan, Jersey, South Africa, the USA and the Netherlands.

The Abbeyfield Society for Scotland is the umbrella organisation that supports the member and affiliate societies across Scotland on issues such as advice on care and the needs of older people to health and safety issues. Through liaison between the local societies, the Scotland office and the Abbeyfield Society UK, we are making a real difference to the lives of older people in Scotland.
