Abney & Baker have been looking after my wife for several years. Their conduct has been exemplary and we have never had cause for complaint. If it were not for Abney & Baker we would have had no visitors for months except for our son who brings our groceries once a week. They are always cheerful and
friendly.
Reply from Ian Willis, Director at Abney & Baker - BathThank you so much for your kind words. I’m so glad we were able to bring a little cheer into your home over the past months of lockdown.

The support from the carers has been for me 5x plus. Without my carers don't think to be honest that I would not have taken a serious attempt on my life. Therefore I could 100% commend Abney & Bakers support.

My husband has been a client for about 2 1/2 years. He needs some help with showering and dressing having mental, physical and sight impairment. Abney & Baker carers have been very kind and helpful, though we experience a considerable change over of staff. They also helped at lunchtime when I was unable
to give him his meal.

All carers are efficient but in our experience two are excellent and very helpful. Without them, we could not manage to stay at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As husband of wife (client) for 54 years I want only the best care for her. Been with Abney & Baker from 26/4/2019. My experiences, so many all good. We have carers 4 times a day. Carers of all ages, friendly and caring. Young men and women, nice to see them working so well with the older carers. You
will notice that I ticked excellent on all boxes - cannot fault. They also give me support when I feel down. Cannot thank them enough.
