Enjoy later life in our welcoming community
At Abbeyfield Gloucestershire, we offer you a unique retirement: a wonderful opportunity to live life to the full by remaining independent whilst living as part of a social home full of companionship. Our four properties are located within the quintessentially English Cotswolds in Cheltenham, Prestbury, Cirencester and Chipping Sodbury.
As a resident you’ll rent your own homely studio, because it’s situated within one of our lovely Abbeyfield houses you’ll enjoy; home-cooked meals, the freedom to come and go, time with new friends or privacy when you want it. Life becomes pretty stress-free, no more trying to maintain a home and garden, no more admin and bills to sort out and no commitment to buy. Thanks to a monthly all-inclusive rental fee, which includes delicious home-cooked meals and all the bills (except for a phone line).
Across all four of our lovely Abbeyfield houses, your well-being and quality of life is at the heart of everything we do. You will have your own homely studio with a fabulous ensuite bathroom. The studios are neutrally decorated for you to furnish in your own style.

I love how varied my role is. My role is such a positive one, I love going to work and I am so lucky to work with such a great team. I get great job satisfaction seeing our residents happy and enjoying themselves, it’s a great feeling knowing that you are contributing to making a difference.

It’s a fantastic environment here at Abbeyfield House in Cirencester. We have created a brilliant family feel and I am proud to be part of the team.

House Manager - Cheltenham House
I love preparing home cooked fresh meals for our residents and enjoy getting to know the individual residents choices. We are like one big family at Heathercroft.
Linda
House Manager
I have been with Abbeyfield for about 3 years, initially on on the admin side of things and more recently directly involved with the residents. I really enjoy cooking for them because they are such an appreciative audience! Besides cooking I enjoy gardening quizzing and I’m a member of the Parish Council which keeps me busy when I’m not working.
