Financial Support

We are proud that we have been able to keep monthly rental costs affordable through our not-for-profit model.  Any surplus we make at the end of each year is invested in house improvements, and services for our residents. 

Choosing where and how you live when you're older is one of life's major decisions.  How you pay for your sheltered housing will depend on your individual circumstances.  Whilst Abbeyfield Reigate cannot offer financial advice in making this important decision, we do have experience of the various ways our residents fund ongoing rental costs which include:

  • A combination of pensions, housing benefit and/or personal savings

  • Where a resident doesn’t want to sell their current home it is possible that renting could provide a monthly income higher than the costs of living at Abbeyfield

  • Most of our residents benefit from Attendance Allowance - this is a benefit that is not means tested and provides a minimum of £260 per month

Abbeyfield Reigate welcomes all potential residents regardless of their financial means and will be happy to talk through any questions you may have.
