Often the first signs that someone might need support are small. A few more dishes left in the sink. Unopened post building up. Pausing a little longer on the stairs or when getting out of a chair.
These small changes can appear months before a fall or hospital admission. Noticing them early can make a huge difference.
At Abney & Baker, we believe care shouldn’t start at a crisis point.
Early, light-touch support can help people stay safe, confident and independent in their own home for longer.
If you’ve started to notice small changes in you or someone close to you, it might be the right time for a conversation.

Staying independent isn’t luck.
It’s small, consistent habits.
Most loss of independence happens gradually - a missed health check, a small fall, medication confusion, less movement, more isolation.
The good news?
Many of these risks are preventable.
Run through this checklist once a month.
It takes 5 minutes and it protects years.
Independence isn’t about doing everything alone.
It’s about putting the right support in place early.
If you or someone you love would benefit from support focused on living well and staying connected, call us on 0333 043 4880 or email enquiries@abneyandbaker.com to find out how we can help.

Care can be a demanding job; rushed visits, lack of support and the feeling of being “just another name on the rota".
We believe experienced carers deserve better.
That’s why we focus on:
✔ Professional development
✔ Clear communication
✔ Structured support
✔ Prevention-focused care - not just task completion
When carers feel backed by their team, clients receive safer, calmer, more consistent support.

Most care begins when something goes wrong.
We believe it should begin much earlier.
Research consistently shows that strength training, good nutrition, social connection, safe environments, and early identification of health changes significantly reduce hospital admissions, falls, and long-term care dependency.
Our 5 Pillars of staying well at home focus on building resilience so people can live independently, confidently, and safely for longer.
Prevention isn’t an add-on.
It’s the future of care. If you or someone you love would benefit from support focused on living well and staying connected, call us on 0333 043 4880 or email enquiries@abneyandbaker.com to find out how we can help.

Staying connected to hobbies and meaningful activities is so important 💛 Recently one of our carers got one of our clients some new puzzles to complete! You can see how the client lit up!
It’s a small gesture, but it’s exactly what preventative care looks like in real life: supporting the little things that keep the mind active and confidence steady.

We are incredibly proud of the progress Brian has made through our Prevent+ package 👏
If you’ve been following his journey, you’ll know Brian joined us in June 2025 after experiencing a series of falls that understandably affected his confidence.
Today, he’s moving with greater strength, stability and belief in his own ability again 💪
Brian’s progress is a reminder that age is not the barrier - confidence can be rebuilt, strength can be developed, and mobility can be improved with the right support.
When you invest in your body, it looks after you in return 🤝

That’s what preventative support looks like: helping people stay active, connected, and independent - so they can need less care over time, not more.
If you’d like support that focuses on living well at home, call 0333 043 4880 or email enquiries@abneyandbaker.com.

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.
