Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby Society is a registered charity and also a registered company. As a charity, the Society operates on a not-for-profit basis and its purpose is to provide relief and care to the elderly. It does this through its residential care, respite and day care services.
The Society is also part of the Abbeyfield family, which means that it follows The Abbeyfield Society’s guiding principles in the way it operates and looks after the residents in its care.
In all other respects Abbeyfield Lear House is completely independent and is governed by its own board of Trustees who serve on a voluntary basis.
Our Vision to ‘Enhance the quality of life for older people’ by ‘creating communities that keep people connected’.
Our vision for the future is to build an extension, which will link Lear House with Elliot House, enabling us to refurbish and provide a further 9 bedrooms with en-suite, 2 newly refurbished communal areas so we can offer more activities and more interaction with our local community.
The project is on target for completion end of 2025.
