Abbeyfield House St Peters is a small subsidized housing facility for independent seniors. Our Volunteer Board of Directors and other volunteers from the surrounding community make it possible to keep housing costs affordable for our residents. We value diversity and inclusion and operate according to the guiding principles of the Abbeyfield Movement; foremost of which is that older people have an important role to plan amongst their families, friends and in the larger community. We are passionate about our non-profit cause and invite you to grow with us, both personally and professionally.
