Welcome to Abbeyfield Wey Valley Society
High quality home care, sheltered housing, residential and nursing care
We believe that it’s our job to give the appropriate levels of care and support, so our older people can live their chosen lifestyle. Everyone is committed to preserving the privacy, dignity and independence of residents. We love getting to know them as individuals – and put their needs and choices at the heart of their care plans.
The Abbeyfield Wey Valley Society is a registered charity, led by a board of volunteer retired professionals and a small senior management team. That’s why we can confidently say that we put care before profit – there’s no pressure from shareholders. We offer our services at cost price, with a small surplus reinvested into residents’ services.
