Abbeyfield

At Abbeyfield Living Society (operating under The Abbeyfield Society), we operate as a prominent national charity dedicated to providing high-quality housing, care, and support for older people. Established in 1956, our core mission is built on alleviating loneliness, fostering companionship, and enabling older adults to maintain their independence, dignity, and active involvement in local communities.

Who We Are

Headquartered in Solihull, West Midlands, our organisation brings together experienced housing managers, registered care professionals, dedicated support practitioners, and a wide network of community volunteers. Regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the Regulator of Social Housing, we manage a specialised network of residential care homes, nursing facilities, and sheltered housing schemes across England.

• Residential Care Homes: Providing safe, comfortable, and welcoming living environments where residents receive personalised daily personal care and round-the-clock support.
• Specialised Dementia & Nursing Care: Designing bespoke, compassionate care pathways tailored to support individuals managing memory loss, Alzheimer's, and associated complex clinical needs.
• Sheltered Housing & Retirement Living: Offering independent living apartments and houses supported by professional staff and community activities designed to combat isolation.
