Manager's notes:Abbeyfield Great Missenden is a purpose built sheltered house. There are 11 rooms with full en-suite facilities and three rooms with toilet and wash basin only. Each room has a small kitchenette. All meals except breakfast are provided in the dining room, and menus vary regularly and are designed to be wholesome and delicious. The House Manager and Deputy house Manager live on the site and as a result there is always someone on hand to assist if there is a need.
Every fortnight, a qualified trainer visits the house to provide supervised exercise for the residents.
The house is in the very centre of the village near the shops, library, banks and post office. There is also a doctor and a dentist in the village. The railway station is two hundred yards away and there is a bus service to High Wycombe.
We aim to be a warm, friendly, homely house where the residents can be assured of good food, respect and their own independence and yet be provided with a safe carefree environment.
