About Abbeyfield Port Alberni

Abbeyfield Houses Alberni Valley Society (also known as Abbeyfield Houses Port Alberni) is a non-profit independent living community for seniors, offering 21 private rooms. We provide safe, affordable, family-style shared housing designed to foster companionship and reduce isolation.

Abbeyfield Port Alberni offers a unique balance of privacy and community, security and independence—all within a warm, home-like setting. This environment is supported by dedicated volunteers (board members, social activities, entertainment) as well as a Facilities Manager and Office Assistant.

Each resident enjoys a private, personally furnished room, along with light housekeeping and nutritious lunch and dinner meals prepared by a small staff. Meals are shared in a communal dining room, and residents gather for special activities in shared living spaces.

Abbeyfield Houses Port Alberni is non-denominational and welcomes any senior capable of independent living.

Join us in supporting Abbeyfield Houses Port Alberni by walking in The Grand Parade—a fun, family-friendly event that brings our community together to celebrate and uplift seniors in safe, supportive housing.
