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. 

 Abbeyfield Chairman, JB Munro of Dunedin, writes for the Abbeyfield newsletter

 

"In December I was Guest Speaker at the Abbeyfield Australia AGM and shared with Abbeyfield members across the great country of Australia what was happening in the expanding of Abbeyfield in New Zealand. Conferences can provide some real food for thought and I wish to share with you a presentation by Neil Dickens, the Chairman of Abbeyfield Mt Gambier, entitled: Where to from here? – Revisiting the Abbeyfield model!
