About Us

Abbeyfield Bristol & Keynsham: Supporting Independence in Later Life

At Abbeyfield Bristol & Keynsham, we believe that later life should be filled with comfort, companionship, and security. Our four houses, located in Hanham, Henleaze, Redland, and Keynsham, offer a welcoming and supportive community for independent older adults.

With a perfect balance of privacy, support, and social interaction, our residents enjoy self-contained apartments, communal spaces, and home-cooked meals—all within a warm, friendly environment.

Who We Are?

As a non-profit organisation, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of older adults by reinvesting every surplus into improving our homes, services, and community engagement.

We are proud to be a member society of Abbeyfield England, a national charity founded in 1956 by Richard Carr-Gomm. His vision was to create safe, secure homes for older adults experiencing loneliness—an ethos that continues to guide us today.

Abbeyfield Bristol & Keynsham has been providing supported housing since 1966, helping older adults live independently while remaining connected to their community. We are honoured to have His Majesty King Charles III as our Royal Patron, supporting our mission to create thriving, inclusive communities.

At the heart of everything that we do is our commitment to creating places where older adults truly feel at home. By prioritising resident satisfaction, staff wellbeing, and meaningful community connections, we foster vibrant, welcoming environments that enrich lives.
