Residential Care Homes
Not just another care home, but a care home that truly cares. Abbeyfield Residential Care Homes have been designed for older people with personal care needs requiring one-to-one support from a qualified carer. Our residents live with the safety and security of on-site staff who are present and attentive 24 hours a day to provide support and companionship too.
The Resident Experience
Every single Abbeyfield care home offers you an active and varied activities programme, such as quizzes, day trips, gardening, arts and crafts, exercise classes, where you can be part of a social community to keep you interested and entertained. There are comfortable shared social spaces such as lounges and quiet rooms, and peaceful gardens for you to enjoy with fellow residents or with visiting family and friends.
All your meals and dietary needs will be catered for, served in the dining room in the company of others or in your room if you choose to.

What is a Residential Care Home?
A Residential Care Home is a purpose built home of varying sizes where older people live in a private room and have access to qualified carer support with daily living activities like washing, dressing and medication assistance. A Residential Care Home is typically regulated by a governing body like the CQC. Senior residents of an Abbeyfield care home are cooked three nutritious meals a day, eaten in a dining area, and they have access to comfortable and communal areas around the home like lounges, peaceful rooms and well-maintained gardens for relaxing in.
Experienced and qualified staff who are dedicated to providing compassionate and professional care.
All our residential care homes are CQC regulated.
Person-centred approach where we create individualised care plans based on your unique needs and preferences.
We create warm and welcoming homes where you can connect with other residents and enjoy a fulfilling and active lifestyle.

The cost of a residential care home varies depending on your individual needs and circumstances. To give you the most accurate information, it’s best to have a personalised care needs assessment. This assessment helps us understand your specific requirements and create a care plan accordingly.
At The Abbeyfield Living Society, we follow a transparent pricing structure which includes:
- A service fee to cover essential services like accommodation, housekeeping, meals and utilities.
- Care cost which are directly linked to your individual care needs which are determined through your care needs assessment. They may cover support with daily living activities, medication management, or specialised care based on your condition.
- We regularly review your care plan and associated costs to ensure they remain aligned with your changing needs to ensure transparency.
While residential care homes offer supportive environments for older people, eligibility often depends on individual needs and circumstances.
Older people who need support with daily living and activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and preparing meals, or older people with mobility issues or chronic health conditions that require specialised care and support, might benefit from living in a residential care home.
At The Abbeyfield Living Society, we welcome individuals who require varying levels of support and our dedicated teams provide personalised care plans, which have been tailored to each resident’s needs, in our warm and supportive homes where residents can socialise and create meaningful connections.
Both types of accommodation offer 24/7 supervision and care, meals, and personal care assistance and support older people who require support with daily activities and chronic medical conditions. The key differences are:
Residential care homes:
- Focus on supporting older people with daily activities like bathing, dressing or medication management.
- Have trained care staff who provide support, but no registered nurses are available.
- Are ideal for older people who need moderate support with daily activities, socialising and maintaining independence.
Nursing homes:
- Focus on providing comprehensive medical care alongside support with daily activities.
- Registered nurses are present 24/7 and are equipped to deal with complex medical needs.
- Are ideal for older people who require significant medical support, including monitoring, wound care and administering medication.
