| General Information / Background |
|
|
|
The Abbeyfield Fareham Society houses provide a ‘family’ home for 7 or 8 active elderly people.
Each resident has their own warm bed-sitting room, their own furnishings, their own front-door key - so they have both independence and security. Each house has a live-in Housekeeper, who provides a midday and evening meal. Either the housekeeper or a deputy is in the house overnight, every night, to be available to deal with any emergencies that might occasionally arise. The Houses are equipped with emergency call systems.
Everyone looks out for each other. The dining room and lounge are contact points with the other residents. There are few house rules other than those of common courtesy and good neighbourliness. Residents are free to come and go as they please, receive visitors and lead as full lives as they wish.
Residents look after themselves and their rooms. - Abbeyfield houses are not 'residential’ or ‘nursing’ homes (although the Housekeeper keeps an eye on residents). If more help is needed this can often be arranged with visiting health and social workers. Residents are free and encouraged to follow their own interests and take part in the local community.
People tend to become Abbeyfield residents in their 70's or 80's. They may not wish to carry on living by themselves for a variety of reasons - house and garden maintenance, cooking, costs, continual problems, loneliness, etc - but want to be in companionable surroundings, near friends and families. Each house has a guest room - available for visiting friends, or for a trial stay. We know that deciding to move into an Abbeyfield house is a major decision. Prospective residents are encouraged to join us, staying in a guest room for a few days, to make sure the house and the Abbeyfield way of life is right for them.
