Abbeyfield Bristol offers retirement living services that provide a wonderful alternative for older people wishing to remain independent with the reassurance of some support. The organization’s all-inclusive fees help residents avoid the increasing costs of living, with one monthly rental fee covering private flats, delicious meals, all utility bills, a 24-hour team member, and social events. Abbeyfield Bristol has four independent living homes in the Bristol area: Henleaze, Hanham, Redland, and Keynsham.
Quality accommodation and the well-being of elderly people lie at the very heart of everything Abbeyfield Bristol does. Residents have their own self-contained flats with en-suite bathrooms, which have been adapted to help with considerations such as failing sight, hearing, or mobility. The on-site handyman fixes grab-rails, checks appliances, and carries out other jobs like hanging curtain rails or putting up shelves, all as part of the all-inclusive service. Abbeyfield Bristol’s friendly, caring retirement living services offer a stress-free retirement with all-inclusive fees, providing residents with a high quality of life and well-being.
