Most residents come from the local district, but some have moved from other parts of the country in order to be close to relatives. Generally residents in the Supported Sheltered Houses must be reasonably active. However anyone suffering, for example, from arthritis, deteriorating eye-sight or a mild heart condition will not necessarily be excluded.

Abbeyfield Societies believe that residents' interests are served best if their family and friends are able to continue to provide support and companionship alongside Abbeyfield's services. We encourage residents to nominate a "sponsor" or representative to whom they can look for advice, guidance and support and with whom they and the Society can work to ensure that each resident’s needs are met effectively
