Abney & Baker Home Care and Support

“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.

“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.
Because connection and creativity are just as important as care. 💚

November is National Home Care & Hospice Month 💙
At Abney & Baker, we’re proud to celebrate the dedicated carers, support teams, and families who make dignified, independent living possible every single day.

Home care isn’t just a service - it’s a relationship built on trust, compassion, and consistency.
This month, we honour the quiet heroes who support older adults and those with complex needs to live life on their own terms.

🙏 To our incredible team - and the wider care community - thank you.
