Our Story:
At Abicare, we believe that care can be reimagined to better meet the needs of today's society. Our founder recognised the transformative power of care to enhance lives and contribute positively to communities. Founded in 2006, Abicare has assembled a dedicated team of professionals who share a common vision: to revolutionise home care in the UK. Since our inception, we have made significant strides, including:

• Opening five offices across England and Wales.
• Introducing innovative technology for the elderly through our Abilink system, which led to the development of our intranet.
• Creating industry-recognised, fast-track carer training programs—both six-day and two-day certifications.
• Building a supportive community of carers who thrive in their roles.
• Achieving a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) across all locations.
• Launching an extensive e-learning platform that offers a diverse range of training courses, including our proprietary Abicare materials, to enhance the skills and knowledge of our carers.

Our employees:
Only by having an excellent team can we offer the flexible Live-in care and Visiting care that we do. Abicare believes care is a career and, like teaching or nursing, is often a calling. That's why, regardless of background or relevant experience, we provide our team with the necessary training, supervision and ongoing support they need to thrive. We don't just want our colleagues to enjoy their care work, we want them to achieve their full potential and help us to achieve our mission.

We provide daily and live-in care, integrating innovative technology to enhance service delivery. Registered with CQC and CIW, we work closely with local health authorities and NHS commissioners.
