Comfortable, secure, and affordable community-based family-style homes for older people in South Africa

The question we really should be asking is, "Apart from social grants to our senior citizens, what else are we doing that focuses on this significant portion of our population?"

Abbeyfield South Africa provides care and accommodation for self-supporting older people, over the age of 60, within the security and companionship of small households. All our houses are owned and run by local community-based Abbeyfield Societies whose members are volunteers.

What you can do

If you are interested in volunteering, looking for accommodation for yourself, a lonely family member or friend or interested in supporting the work that we do through donations, you are encouraged to continue reading our website and find out what it is that makes us so remarkable.

We aren’t addressing the real need here. We need more Abbeyfield homes in South Africa and we can only do that with your help.
