THE ABBEYFIELD TAUNTON DEFENDAMUS SOCIETY LIMITED

The Abbeyfield Taunton Defendamus Society Ltd provides supported sheltered housing for older people. It combats loneliness and the worries of running a home, frequently experienced by older people. Residents have the privacy of their own flat/bed sitting room but share meals and social time together.
