Here's a !
We recently spent some time capturing what truly matters - our carers and clients in the moments that make a difference.
Because great care isn’t just about tasks - it’s about trust, presence, and helping people live well every day.
This is what preventative care looks like in action.
This is Abney & Baker.
Big thanks to for beautifully capturing the heart of what we do -
and an even bigger shoutout to our brilliant carers and clients for being total naturals. Who needs stock photos when you’ve got stars like these? 🌟

“The best care is the kind that helps you need less of it.” – Ian Willis, CEO of Abney & Baker
After witnessing first-hand how fragmented and reactive the care system can be, Ian set out to do things differently. He founded Abney & Baker to challenge the status quo - to deliver care that doesn’t just cope with crisis, but prevents it.
At Abney & Baker, our preventative care services help people stay well, active, and in control of their own lives. We believe the best care empowers you to live with strength and independence - not rely on services for longer than needed.
Because ageing well shouldn’t mean accepting decline.
It should mean staying strong - and staying you - for as long as possible.
Your local, family-owned home care & support company. Home Care you can trust across Bath & North East Somerset and West Wiltshire

“I’m not just helping people get through the day - I’m helping them change their lives.” 💚
Lydia’s journey from carer to EverFit Coach shows how powerful preventative care for older adults can be. It’s not just about avoiding decline - it’s about building strength, confidence, and joy at every stage of ageing.

This week, we were absolutely thrilled when a client asked us to stop providing care. 💛
One of our clients came to us after a stroke, assuming he’d need hands-on care for the rest of his life.
Together, we built a different plan:
🧡 Regular home care to keep him safe and supported
🧡 Our Prevent+ service to build his strength, mobility and confidence
This week, he proudly told us he no longer needs our regular care service — he’s living independently and managing happily on his own. 🙌
And that’s exactly what we’re here for:
To help people need less care, and enjoy a later life with more independence and choice.
He’s continuing with Prevent+ so he can keep building on his progress and stay care-free for longer.
If you or a loved one want support that’s focused on independence, not dependency, we’d love to talk. 💬

🎄✨ A little creativity, a lot of joy!
Our Social and Skills Club got into the festive spirit this week with a Christmas-themed crafting session - complete with handmade wreaths, decorations, and plenty of laughter.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. 💡

My name is Ian and I’m the founder of Abney & Baker.
As someone who had to find care and support for one of my parents with Parkinson’s and someone who served some time as a director of a major national care chain, I’ve gained unique experience of both sides of the care and support world. I’ve seen the impact of low wages and poor working conditions on staff morale and seen the impact this had on the care that people receive.
During this time, I became convinced that there had to be a better way. A care company who valued and supported its team must be able to provide better care and support to its clients.
The result is Abney & Baker.
From the first day, we have have put treating people right at the heart of every decision we make. Doing better by our employees allows us to do better by clients like you which, in turn, is good for the business.
As a result, I am incredibly proud of how we have built a company that:
scores 97% on independent client feedback (1)
scores 96% on independent employee feedback scores (2)
is amongst Top 20 Home Care Providers in the UK as awarded by homecare.co.uk in June 2020.
has committed to fighting working poverty and has been affiliated with the Living Wage Foundation since the day we started
has staff turnover levels roughly half that of the national average for the care industry
has trained and developed many of our colleagues to become trainers, supervisors or managers
We are family-owned, local and proud of the role we play in our community.
