Review of Abney & Baker - Bath from Elizabeth S (Client / Service User) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been a client of Abney and Baker for a month now and they have been fantastic. I left hospital at the end of January and went to a care home for some respite. I was keen to come home but it was clear that I needed some care support to facilitate this. At the beginning I was slightly apprehensive about having a different carer every day, but I didn't need to have worried as they all keep in touch with what is going on with me and each of them is lovely and actually bring different qualities with them. Would recommend wholeheartedly! It is also a very well-managed company.

Abney and Baker have been brilliant. When I was in need of care for my mother they had it up and running within 12 hours. The staff were lovely to my mum, even though she wasn't the easiest patient, they won her over.

Overall Experience
My contract with Abney and Baker was agreed at the outset and terms set out in a statement made by the manager of the service. I am satisfied that my carers meet my expectations in, content of work, time spent and quality. They have proved amiable, trustworthy and friendly persons and ones I can trust to have free run of my home. I am treated with respect and my property treated with care. Occasionally, there are changes in persons sent but it is evident that they are willing to train and adapt to meet my requirements. After discussion, I furnish the cleaning materials which we agree are the most effective, efficient and economic.

I am visited on a regular basis by the care manager, any difficulties with relationships or work content are discussed in an open manner and changes agreed and made. From time to time I need to make urgent contact with the manager (e.g. to change arrangement when taken to hospital at short notice), that is usually a straightforward process however there can be delays but they have been overcome. I have the fullest confidence in the service manager to take prompt action

Review of Abney & Baker - Bath from Doug L (Son of Client) published on 10 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Abney & Baker provide consistently kind, reliable, and respectful care for my elderly mum. Every carer treats her with patience and genuine warmth, and they always take the time to make sure she feels comfortable. Over time, they've become, in many ways, an extension of the family.

They are attentive and supportive, communication is excellent, and the whole team is both dependable and professional. The support and services provided by Abney & Baker have genuinely made a real difference to Mum's ongoing wellbeing and to our peace of mind as a family - I'm honestly not sure what we would do without them.

Reply from Ian Willis, CEO and Founder at Abney & Baker - Bath

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means a great deal to know that our team's kindness, reliability and professionalism have made such a positive difference to your mum's wellbeing and to your family's peace of mind. We feel privileged to support your mum and truly appreciate your trust in us.

Review of Abney & Baker - Bath from Gaynor W (Daughter of Client) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My dad started needing additional care for Alzheimer's from Sept 2025. We have been pleased with all aspects of the service we have received from the team. We began with three visits a week. As my dad's needs have rapidly changed, it has been helpful to discuss with the team options for increased care. Communication is excellent. We have good feedback online after each visit. We also have a family/carers book in the house to send notes to each other to ensure day-to-day issues are sorted out quickly. I have been impressed with the number of times the team has taken the initiative to sort a problem out or gone the extra mile to help. Having a small team that visits mean that they have got to know my dad really well. Changes in his health can be picked up quickly. They have had to use tact and diplomacy to work around my mum (who also has dementia) but have done this brilliantly to keep everyone happy. The team that visit are are cheerful, enthusiastic, positive, patient and professional

Review of Abney & Baker - Melksham from John C (Son of Client) published on 23 December 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother is 99 years old. She lives alone in a flat. Two years ago I discovered that Abney & Baker had opened a branch nearby and I asked them to start providing care for her. Mentally she is very capable but she has lost her sight and doesn't hear very well. Also, her mobility is quite poor. The family is very satisfied with the quality of care that Abney & Baker are providing. She has three visits by carers every day. They talk with her and look after her flat. She likes the carers who visit and tells me all about them. I am confident that Abney & Baker are providing care and companionship to a high standard.

Reply from Ian Willis, CEO and Founder at Abney & Baker - Melksham

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're honoured that you put your trust in us to support your mother and are delighted to hear that she's so happy with our team's care and companionship. It's heartwarming to know that she enjoys her time with our carers and feels so well cared for in her own home. Thank you again.
