Abbeyfield House

Overview

This property offers a range of different types of accommodation – supported housing, nursing care and independent living – for 32 older people in spacious rooms which are all en-suite and are furnished to a high standard.

The registered care home has 30 single rooms, each with en-suite facilities. All the rooms have been designed to meet the needs of older people. In particular, the access areas and communal areas have been specially designed to make it easier for people who find it difficult to get around.

Adjoining the care home are 9 supported housing apartments where tenants can live independently or, if they wish, enjoy some of the facilities offered within the care home such as the lunch club and evening meals.

Housing support staff offer assistance, where assessed, to ensure tenants can continue to live as independently as possible. Housing support is provided Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm with alarm facilities provided during out of hours for emergencies. Personal care is provided either through the local authority or through Abbeyfield Ballachulish.

This house is managed by Abbeyfield Ballachulish.

Life at the house

We believe in enjoying later life and an Abbeyfield home will always offer residents the opportunities to get involved in activities and entertainment as much as they want.   

We offer opportunities for residents to partake in a number of activities and events. We understand the importance of our residents emotional and physical well-being, and keeping active and enjoying later life is crucial to this.

Our staff will always do their best to involve all residents and cater for any restrictions they have. 

Our cooks provide healthy and delicious meals every day that are cooked and prepared on site. Our fully qualified cooks pride themselves on providing excellent food which is all freshly prepared, and where possible, using locally sourced produce.

Each home has an individual approach to catering for their residents, with menus being tailored to dietary needs and special events. But we always offer plenty of choices, including vegetarian options, and great portion sizes!

Meal time at an Abbeyfield is also important as it’s when the whole house gets together - a time to have a chat enjoying great food and great company.
