About the Abbeyfield Wales Society

The Abbeyfield Wales Society is a registered exempt charity dedicated to supporting the older people during their senior years.

We provide sheltered accommodation for people over the age of 55 who are perhaps looking for some personal support and companionship. Our services and facilities allow residents to live comfortably with dignity, friendship and security through a tailored balance of support and independence.

Abbeyfield is upheld by a network of experienced staff, volunteers and professionals who share a collective desire to help and support the elderly and who ensure each resident enjoys a purposeful and fulfilling Abbeyfield life. The fundamental principles of Abbeyfield’s homes are well-being, support and care, lifestyle, and relaxing places to live. Our comprehensive support structure aims to cater for the diverse social, emotional and physical needs of our residents whilst providing a safe and secure environment.

Abbeyfield is a not-for-profit organisation and therefore reinvests any surplus into the value of our organisation. We endeavour to provide affordable living without compromise to quality or service; resident’s charges simply cover their cost of living and respective staff. Fees can be met by a combination of private resources and eligibility assessed government finance.
