Testimonials
I am very happy living here and I know I made the right decision to come to Abbeyfield. All staff are kind and very respectful towards me and I very much appreciate that. The meals served are always tasty, well presented and served in a professional and dignified manner. Mealtime is something that I look forward to and the dining area is always very clean and tidy. What I really like about the home is the fact that if I need help it is always available, but if I want quiet time then that is fully respected. I have run residential care in the past and this place is top notch !
Shirley, Resident at Abbeyfield House
Abbeyfield is a very nice place to live, and I feel very fortunate to be here. I love my room and get so much pleasure from watching the wildlife through my window. Although I live independently every contact I have with management and all staff members has been met with kindness and respect. The staff look out for me, and this makes me feel safe and happy. I really cannot imagine how anybody would not be happy here.
Alison, Resident
