Abihealth – Southwest

Abihealth – Southwest is a home care agency based in Bristol, in the Bath and North East Somerset council area, 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 Bristol office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Health Kits, which has 6 branches in England. The agency has been registered since February 2026.

Abihealth – Southwest has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
