Abbeyfield Caledon

“I live in a big house with eleven roommates and every person has a wonderful story.”

These are the words from Desiree who is a resident at Abbeyfield Caledon. If you have never heard of this place, take thirty seconds to get acquainted. Abbeyfield House is a unique senior living space in Caledon East. The house offers an independent, affordable living alternative in a warm family-home environment. Inside, each resident has their own bedroom suite, a library for reading & puzzles, a great room for entertainment and workshops, a dining hall, and it’s all in a one-level bungalow. The cherry on top is that all meals are prepared for the residents, and if you ask Liz (another Abbeyfield resident) she’ll tell you she looks forward to these meals because the food is so good!

Another reason Abbeyfield is such a desirable find is thanks to the volunteers! Between workshops and program involvement, there is a supportive team that ensures the residents have plenty of things to do and are well entertained and cared for.

It’s a magical community to be part of and there is always room for more volunteers.

Abbeyfield Caledon has a board of directors and a house manager who spend much of their time planning and preparing all the important details for this home. They are a crew of caring community members with a reputation for their kindness.
