An Abbeyfield House is a group house in which residents live independently within a shared supportive environment. The residents ‘come and go’ as they please, socialise with other residents as much as desired, enjoy the support of a live-in housekeeper and remain engaged with the community.
Abbeyfield Australia is a national not for profit community housing provider across Australia. We are committed to the development of sustainable community-based housing nationally. An Abbeyfield House is a large house but it is not an institution or a facility. It is an ordinary house in an ordinary street.
Our target residents are people over 55 who can no longer afford to rent a home in Victoria and who wish to share with others. Our focus is on alleviating loneliness and improving nutrition.
An Abbeyfield House is a group house in which residents live independently within a shared supportive environment. The residents ‘come and go’ as they please, socialise with other residents as much as desired, enjoy the support of a live-in housekeeper and remain engaged with the community.
Abbeyfield housing is based on an ‘assisted independent living’ philosophy and residential concept where:
- all residents who each enjoy individual private suite comprising bedroom and ensuite;
- residents share a comfortable lounge room, dining room, garden, and laundry;
- nutritious meals are cooked onsite by the house keeper;
- all maintenance and house costs covered by Abbeyfield Australia.
