Welcome

Welcome to the Abbeyfield New Zealand web site 

Abbeyfield is a not-for-profit organisation providing companionship and an affordable home for older people.

The Abbeyfield method of operation is to promote and establish local community-based and volunteer-led Abbeyfield Societies. They, in turn, create and manage local Abbeyfield Houses providing lonely older people a dignified way of life at a weekly housekeeping charge affordable from state sourced welfare payments or the equivalent. 

Got a question? Want to know the cost, or where we have a house, or where we have a project planned ? Or where the vacancies are? Can you visit for a look?

What did you think? Our survey has ended.

Abbeyfield feels age is nothing more than mind over matter - we are interested in finding how old you feel on the inside.

The response to our survey was great. Thankyou to the hundreds who participated.
