About Speedwell Court

Questions families ask
What age do you need to be for sheltered housing?
From age 55. Abbeyfield sheltered housing is generally designed for people aged 55 and over who want independent living with support available when needed.
Can couples move into an Abbeyfield home together?
Yes. Some Abbeyfield retirement homes have rooms or apartments specifically for couples.
Is room cleaning included in Abbeyfield care homes?
Yes. Cleaning and tidying are included in Abbeyfield care homes. In some supported housing, cleaning may not be provided, although a cleaner can be arranged at an agreed cost.
Can residents bring their own furniture to an Abbeyfield room?
Yes. Most rooms are unfurnished, so residents can bring their own furniture and personal possessions to make the room their own.
How much does Speedwell Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Speedwell Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hampshire council paid on average £1,214 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
