Abbeyfield is a proven success. A housing alternative that enables healthy seniors to live independently in a safe and social setting.
Each Abbeyfield House is an incorporated not-for-profit entity – its own “society” — formed by the group of volunteers that initiate, support and guide the operations of the Abbeyfield House through a volunteer Board of Directors. All Houses are affiliated with Abbeyfield Canada and are bound by its policies and guidelines. While every House benefits from the resources and shared experiences of the organization as a whole, in all other aspects each local society is autonomous.
