Abbey Care and Support

Abbey Care and Support is a home care agency based in Sheffield, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Sheffield office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Abbey Care and Nursing @Home. The agency has been registered since August 2018.

At its latest inspection, published October 2024, the CQC rated Abbey Care and Support Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
