Central Okanagan Foundation

Abbeyfield Orchard City Society operates non-profit Abbeyfield Houses that provide seniors with safe and affordable family-style shared housing, designed to promote companionship and combat social isolation. With an emphasis on a communal living experience, each house maintains a balance of privacy and companionship, allowing residents to live independently while enjoying shared meals and activities with their peers. Currently, there are 19 Abbeyfield Houses across Canada, accommodating approximately 195 seniors, and offering a desirable alternative to larger, more impersonal retirement homes. The organization supports seniors facing challenges in finding affordable housing, particularly as rising living costs threaten their well-being and independence. Generated from the website
