Living at home can become harder as you get older. But choosing to move into supported living accommodation doesn't have to mean losing your independence. In fact, many of our residents tell us it feels like a new beginning.

"Converted from an old potato warehouse, Abbeyfield House is steeped in history, offering supported living in the heart of the stunning cathedral city of Ripon in North Yorkshire.

One of our recent residents was married to the live in housekeeper when the house first opened, remembering a time that residents would follow a rota for bathing and would have to listen out for a bell that signalled when dinner was served in the dining room. While we offer a much more relaxed lifestyle now, we still have the bell today as a reminder of days gone by." Show less
