Autumn Crafting at its Finest! 🍂🎃

Our ladies have been getting creative this week making beautiful autumn wreaths!

There was lots of laughter, concentration (and plenty of glue gun action!) as we used colourful leaves, mini pumpkins, pine cones and acorns to create our own seasonal wreaths.

We love seeing everyone’s different designs come to life - and the pride when they get to hold up the finished result!

A perfect cosy autumn afternoon with cups of tea and lots of chat. Well done everyone, they’re absolutely gorgeous!

Our Reviews

What residents and their families say about us…

“I’ve been at Abbeyfield over a year now. Best thing I’ve done at my age. It’s relaxing not to worry about daily chores. Staff are great and easy to talk to. Food is great. You come and go when you please. Most of all, everybody gets on.”

Sylvia – Resident

“A welcoming community. The staff treat it as more than just a job, very caring. Exceptional help from staff when needed. Comfortable and safe.”

Bob – Resident

“I am very well catered for. The home cooked meals are tasty with plenty of choices available. The staff are all extremely kind and approachable. I find Abbeyfield a safe and comfortable home with plenty of local amenities around me.”

Irene – Resident

“My mother in law moved in just over a year ago and we are really pleased with Abbeyfield House. The food is high quality and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. She is so much happier since the move and it has given us real peace of mind knowing that she has company and is well looked after. Her laundry is done for her and she has regular visits from a chiropodist and hairdresser. There are shops and a doctors’ surgery across the road plus lots of local amenities. There are opportunities for outings and regular activities within the house. All in all we are delighted that she made the move as she has kept her independence but now has the company that she was previously missing out on and no worries about maintaining her home. We have peace of mind as staff are on site from 9-6 with an on-call button overnight.”

Tracey – Family

“Abbeyfield House is the perfect accommodation in your later years. You have your own space/room with all facilities in a cozy warm environment. All meals are provided. Home cooked family style. Your laundry is also done for you. It’s perfect, my parents lived here. Just live your life without the pressure of running your own house.”

Angela – Family

“I never expected to love a job, house and family as much as I have here.”
