Manager's notes:	Abbeyfield societies are guided by the shared beliefs of the movement: 1. Older people have an important role to play amongst their families, friends and in their community; 2. Overcoming loneliness and insecurity can make all the difference to an older person's wellbeing and quality of life; 3. Local people have an essential part to play in helping older people in their community. Charges for Abbeyfield accommodation are inclusive of meals and all bills, and typically in the range of £500 to £1200 per month, with an average of around £800 per month. Many residents are eligible for Housing Benefit and other financial support to help towards the costs, and we invite you to contact us whether or not you could afford them from your own resources.
