Living in Abbeyfield

Residents are over pensionable age and reasonably fit. The Bishop's Stortford Abbeyfield House is home for 8 older people. Each resident has her/his own room which can be furnished with their own treasured furniture and possessions. The house has a well equipped bathroom and toilet on each floor. A large lounge/dining room overlooks the rear garden.

The Abbeyfield way of life provides a balance of privacy and caring support which can be ideal for many older people who no longer feel happy living alone or sharing their children's home. The support in Bishop's Stortford is provided by our paid full time House Manager and local volunteers.

Our House Manager cooks the main meals for lunch and supper. Residents prepare their own breakfast but the housekeeper does all the shopping and provides the food.
