Abicare Services Limited is an experienced domiciliary care agency which supports people to continue to live in their own homes and retain their independence.

Abicare Homecare, with a breadth of experience over many decades, can offer you, your relative or friend the extra support you need to retain your independence, respect, and dignity within your own home.

If you are finding it a little difficult to complete those everyday tasks due to frailty, illness or disability or are just too tired to try, Abicare can help. Their experienced care team is on hand 24 hours a day and 365 days a year to provide personal and emotional support.

AbiLive-In is exactly what it says; Their carer lives in the home of the person being cared for. They become a part of your household, working closely with you to help in your daily care needs.

Having a live-in carer isn’t for everyone – remember that the carer will be in your home all the time, day and night. It is very important that you and the carer get on. They spend time assessing your requests and finding carers that suit your needs. This helps to ensure the package runs smoothly and everyone remains happy. Mind you, if you don’t get on they will very quickly change the carer for you until they find one that you do like.

Review from J M (Client) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am very lucky with my carers as they take very good care of me. They take the time to talk with me and therefore the standard of care is high and individualised. The three carers I have are all following my care plan happily. They are also happy to help with other things not on my care plan or just
go that extra mile to help. The standard of care which I have is very high and I have no complaints or concerns.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My use of Abicare Services Salisbury has been very good and reliable.
Lately, some of the very new girls have not realised they have to stay the full half an hour, sometimes one or two of them will perhaps go in 10 minutes leaving for the next care call to finish the job. They always treat with dignity.

Review from Susan C (Mother of Client) published on 18 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My daughter has been receiving Abicare services for 8/9 years. Previously an excellent service with appreciated companionship and continuity of care. Sadly recently standards have slipped, many new carers, some doing a perfunctory service. Companionship rather lacking. Petit annoyances with house/living
- e.g. leaving the freezer door open (defrosting required) flooding the carpet when showering. The wish is for regular people (not so many - 14 at present). Have requested a meeting with the manager to sort it out.
Reply from Steve Carter, CEO, at Abicare Services Salisbury

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the usual high standard of care we strive to provide at Abicare has slipped. We are committed to understanding and addressing your concerns. We hope our visit on 15/10/24 helped resolve the concerns mentioned, and we will follow up in a couple of weeks to ensure that the changes we have put in place are effective. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve and regain your trust. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any more concerns.

Overall care is very good. The timing of visits is very erratic.
Good communication with management but lacking with some of the carers.

I am a tetraplegic and have been using Abicare Services for about 13 years or more. The carers are very helpful and work well with another company as a double-up in the mornings.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.314 for Abicare Services Salisbury is calculated as follows: ( (17 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.314

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Abicare Services Salisbury is based on 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4.5

  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
