Abbeyfields very sheltered housing postpones or prevents
the onset of high dependency. Abbeyfield Societies
in Scotland have always provided this kind of accommodation
in small homely settings - real care in the community.
Our houses each support between 6-10 older
people, enabling them to keep control of their lives,
to be private or sociable at will. Like the best of
families, residents have a great deal of personal
space and the freedom to express their individuality
of style and purpose.
