I would like to say a big thank you to my daughter and son for looking after me when I have vascular dementia. They then found Abney & Baker to look after me. The carers are very good and I think my life has been happy since.

from John C (Son of Client) published on 23 December 2024

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first day that the carers started looking after my mother, they showed nothing but kindness, compassion and patience. They would do things just how my mother wanted them to be done as she could become agitated if things were not done how she would do them. The personal care delivered was also
to a high standard and the family was confident that our mother was in safe hands. All the carers were very vigilant with Mum's health issues, raising any concerns at an early opportunity. The relief I felt knowing that all the carers were on top of things was immense. It felt like the carers had become friends and my mother valued their company. Sadly we've had to stop using Abney & Baker as my mother has had to move into a nursing home.
Reply from Ian Williah, CEO and Founder at Abney & Baker - Bath

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It really does mean so much to us to hear that the team delivered care and support to your mother at such a high standard. We wish her all the best in her new home.

Always cheerful and happy staff when they arrive.
The carers look after my wife very well ensuring she does not fall over and escort her around the house.
I couldn't wish for a better care company to look after my wife.
I feel very confident when I leave her with her carer while I leave the house
to work on my business.
