ABBEYFIELD HOUSES SOCIETY of GREY BRUCE, a non profit resource group, grew from the experience and knowledge gained in the development of the first Life Lease Abbeyfield home in Grey Bruce as well as the collective knowledge gained from over 50 years of providing affordable housing for seniors around the world.
Abbeyfield Grey Bruce Inc is available to assist volunteers and communities develop low cost seniors housing, providing care and companionship to Seniors within their own community.
What are Abbeyfield Houses?
Abbeyfield Houses are residences which provide good food, comfort, security and independence to seniors who, though relatively fit, no longer wish to or are unable to live at home.
It could be compared to living like a large family, with a live-in House Mother who takes care of the running of the house.
