The Abbeyfield Wessex Society is a charity that is dedicated to providing housing for older people with our ethos to alleviate loneliness. We enable people to live independently in a home-from-home environment that offers support, friendship and security. Two home cooked meals are provided daily including ingredients to make breakfast in your own room. Our houses are closely linked to their community to enhance not only the lives of our residents, but older people living locally. From trips to the seaside to festivities throughout Christmas, Abbeyfield's connection to the local community provides events that all older people can enjoy. We encourage bringing the community in to our houses through volunteers, friends and family. People are enjoying fuller and longer lives than ever before and in many areas neighbours can be few and far between. This can mean that many older people feel isolated within their own community. By living with Abbeyfield Wessex you can still have your own front door but know that there is always someone to talk to.
