Abbeyfield     is  a  charitable  organisation  which    provides   accommodation  
 for   elderly    people    in    friendly houses accommodating a variable number of
 residents according  to house size.

Abbey field was founded in 1956 and began with a house in Bermondsey.  Now 
the National Society includes over 600 autonomous local societies responsible for 
about 950 houses accommodation about 9000 residents  

The society tries to give elderly residents of every background, a way of life which is a balance of privacy and companionship. Many people grow up in the companionship of a family group and their lives develop from the strength and security which that group gives them. However, when people grow older many find that they no longer have this personal which that group gave them.

Abbeyfield houses offer a "home within a home" to those who, though reasonably fit for their years, nevertheless feel they would be happier living in a "supportive environment".

Abbeyfield allows individuals to enjoy the companionship of others, together with privacy and security, without the concern of running a home.
