Abbeyfield South Downs 

At Abbeyfield South Downs we offer a peaceful, friendly atmosphere in seven sheltered houses for the older people along the Sussex coast. Our aim is to enable you to continue enjoying your independence while benefiting from support and companionship.

At the heart of our ethos is the desire to combat loneliness among older people. We do this by bringing them together in shared warm, comfortable, accommodation where home-cooked meals are available.

We make it easy for you to live the life of your choice without the everyday worries of running your own home.
