Overall Experience

We were delighted with the excellent quality of care given to our friend who wanted to stay in his own home as long as he could. We couldn't fault the care given to him by the 24 hour carers and the organisation needed to provide the respite care. The position our friend was in was particularly complicated

but all safeguarding issues were monitored and addressed in a most professional manner.

Overall Experience

Right at Home looked after my mother from June to the end of August 2016 with great care and dedication. My mum was worried about having carers come into her home but the manager spent a great deal of time talking to her and gave her lots of reassurance. I feel that all the staff are very good at

really listening and trying to respond to each individual's needs in the best way they can. All the carers who looked after mum were friendly, kind and treated her with respect. The carers always arrived on time and carried out their tasks with efficiency and commitment. Right at Home's communication and report system meant we were always updated about mum's health which saved us worrying so much about her. I have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful care agency to anyone who is looking for a real personal service for a loved one.

Overall Experience

We have been very pleased with the care provided by the Right at Home (RaH) carers. They have developed a very good relationship with my father and have helped him/us in working towards our goals. I have especially appreciated the way that incidents out of the ordinary have been dealt with, eg. difficulties

with power or unexpected changes in my father's condition have been reported to us promptly by the carers and they have often gone out of their way/stayed late to ensure these are dealt with well.

RaH have also been flexible in dealing with the care when we need to cancel visits due to hospital etc.

We have been less impressed by the admin side in the office and have had continued difficulties receiving invoices and care rotas. We have raised these with RaH and I believe the management genuinely want to fix these issues and are currently trying to improve. These issues have brought my overall score down as I wouldn't feel able to recommend RaH without flagging these issues.

Overall Experience

The staff have always been friendly, approachable, flexible and very kind to my Dad. When I have needed to arrange care at short notice, it has always been accommodated. When I call the agency the staff are professional, friendly and I feel listened to.
The reason for not giving care an excellent rating

is only due to the fact that I have had to ask a few times for the lunch time support to make Dad a meal and plate something for his supper. It doesn't always happen if Dad says he isn't hungry. Otherwise very satisfied with the agency overall.

Overall Experience

Right at Home have been providing care for my mother since the beginning of the year, this involves three visits daily and have always proved reliable. Recently we have needed medical attention with doctors and hospitals. They have kept me informed at all times and stayed longer than necessary to meet

the ambulances. Again they always followed up and during these times offered additional help and support. They care for her very well with her meals, time keeping and cleanliness.

I would like to thank the carers for my daughter and myself you have made a big difference to our lives, the carers she has taken time to get to know her treat her with respect.
Without the carers I would not be able to work. I know I can work and she in safe hands, my daughters carers go above and

more for her. She can't talk but I am sure she would say a big thank you for the care and support you provide to the family.
Once again big thank you to Right at home Sutton and Epsom and Carers.

Overall Experience

The whole experience has been excellent and the service provided by Right at Home for my Mother has been exactly what she needed and after just a month Mum really looks forward to seeing the carers each day and is always very complimentary about their attitude and help towards her. I would definitely

recommend Right at Home to other people and will probably need to extend the hours they provide in the near future.

Overall Experience

This was the 3rd agency we used for Dad's care needs after 2 disappointing experiences with other agencies. When we met with Right at Home they took the time to listen and it was clear that they really understood Dad's needs and wanted to work with us to provide the care he required. All the carers

have been excellent. Professional, friendly, caring and very reliable. Administrative staff have also been excellent. They have always been approachable and really helpful even when we have changed plans at short notice!
We really felt Dad was in good hands at a very difficult time in his life and would have no hesitation in recommending Right at Home.

Overall Experience

With communication and over time the care company provided a team of caring and supportive care workers who built up a relationship that helped my mother-in-law remain at home for the time that she did. When my mother-in-law required an escort to her clubs the care company were able to provide this

and working together we all made certain that she was able to attend days out. Over the years the care workers and management team became like family and were always very understanding and supportive in helping us as a family.

Overall Experience

My father was looked after by carers from Right at Home for two years. They dealt with crisis, provided company and found a group of young people who dad always looked forward to seeing. They listened to music (and sang along!) together, shared jokes and reassured him when his dementia worsened. During

periods when dad was in hospital a couple of the carers would visit him and at the end of his life they joined us at his funeral. I highly recommend their flexible, warm and experienced team.

Overall Experience

I have always found the carers very friendly, approachable and professional. They treat my parents with respect and are kind and gentle.
We have good communication with both carers and the office.

They are always willing to meet our needs and cancel care or add in extra care when needed. When new

carers are introduced they shadow for a while which means they know the needs. My parents always know the carers that arrive as there are only a few who come regularly so they have a good relationship and know what is needed.

Overall Experience

I have used a number of care agencies in this area to look after my mother and then my father. I have found Right At Home to be the best. They provided home care from June 2015 to August 2015 and then again in October when my father required a great deal of personal care following discharge after a

broken hip. All the carers were well trained, considerate, careful and thoughtful. They always turned up and carried out their tasks competently, and they pretty well kept to the agreed call times. Without exception, all the carers' main concern was for my father's well being and comfort, and they were respectful of his wishes and his home. The office was always helpful, efficient and friendly, and they dealt with some quite difficult situations very well.

My mothe';s care from Right at Home has been excellent even over Xmas and New Year. She has had a couple of minor falls recently and the carers have been excellent calling paramedics and also cleaning up after accidents. Mum enjoys the company and feels safe and secure with the carers.

Overall Experience

We interviewed a number of care providers but were struck by how "caring" they came across. The service offering was good, balanced and good value for money. We were not disappointed with reality either - prompt attention with excellent workforce. They meant a lot to the family as well as the general

support given to my father in law. It wasn't just about the usual care it also included talking to him and engaging him so that he gained company and support during his final days. That is what separates Right at Home from the others - you can tell that they really do care and it means everything to loved ones.
