My mother has been living with her sister in Bristol for the last few years and Right at Home embraced her care, along with my Aunty's. "The Sisters", as they were known, loved their visits and were respected and treated well. Although I didn't have any dealings directly with the office, we were treated
very fairly and felt valued as clients, something which is not always the case with care companies. The carers did what they were supposed to and medication prompting was taken seriously. Sadly, my beloved aunty has now passed away and my mother has returned to her home town. She misses some really lovely "friends" which the carers had become. Thank you Right At Home, Bristol.

The carers that I have met, whilst visiting my father, have been very pleasant and respectful. Dad is happy to say that he feels well cared for. As I manage his finances, I have issues with the Finance Department. His first invoice, in December, was incorrect, and despite numerous requests, this has
not been rectified. I have been made aware that another invoice is outstanding but again, despite numerous requests for a copy in order to make payment, this has not been received. All the staff that answer the phones are always very friendly and helpful. I requested an update to his support plan to be recorded but this is still to be actioned, more than six weeks later. I have recently found that on two occasions he has not been given one of his tablets. I raised this with the office after the first instance but it has happened again and I now feel the need to monitor regularly.

Reply from Paul Trinder, Director at Right at Home (Bristol)

As we have discussed, it is unfortunate that you have sent payment queries to non-reply email addresses nor mentioned that we have supported you in accessing local authority funding. As far as we are aware, all support plan issues have been addressed and you have access to this document and updates through our client portal. The leaving of a face mask on an external waste bin doesn't follow our PPE protocols and as you yourself have stated has only happened once during Covid. Your medication concern we addressed immediately as our app enables us to see during the day if a particular medication has been missed and act upon it. We monitor this daily. In summary, it would have been better, perhaps, if we had had the opportunity to talk these issues through - as your review intimates this does not fairly reflect on how our CareGivers perform.

Having had disappointing experiences in the past with other care organisations, my father has been quite cynical about the industry as a whole. However, I can honestly say that he is totally comfortable with Right At Home, cannot praise them enough and really looks forward to their visits. It is really
reassuring for our family to know that he feels happy and secure in the care of Right At Home - I wish we had found them earlier.

The team provided excellent care at home for my Mum and Dad over the past few months. All the visiting carers were extremely professional, reliable and friendly and quickly developed a great relationship with Mum and Dad in what was a difficult time for them. As circumstances changed the team were great
at adapting the level of support and frequency of visits to meet requirements.

Right at Home have been looking after my father in law for over 2 years. They have been terrific! Flexible if we needed them more often, they all had a great rapport with him. I would recommend them happily to anyone looking for home care in Bristol. My father in law is at present now in a care home.
We are unsure if it will be ongoing, and if not, will be hiring Right at Home again.

I would recommend Right at Home carers as provide excellent care to people in need of all ages. They are reliable, caring & always on call to discuss any concerns or needs you may have. During the covid 19 pandemic, the carers have gone up & above the call of duty.
I'd like to say a big thank you.

I am so grateful to all the staff at Right at Home (Bristol) who have been giving care to my mum now 89, over the last 2 years. Each caregiver brings different qualities, the office staff are so friendly and efficient. My mum was struggling to manage recently, her dementia getting worse, I hadn't seen
her for 6 weeks due to Covid19 restrictions but realised things weren't right and decided I needed to visit. I have been staying with her a lot over the last 5 weeks but live 2 hours away so Right at Home were able to organise a weekend carer to give me a break for few weekends. We now have a live-in carer, which was organised really quickly by the manager and his team. I feel lucky that all these caregivers are prepared to continue working during the recent difficult times. Thank you Right at Home (Bristol), I can relax now!

Right at Home Bristol has been giving daily care to my mum for two years now. Despite being 95 she still lives independently and just needs a little care daily, with reminders to eat and take medication, etc. with lots of visits from family. The Covid-19 lockdown left my mother alone in her own property
without the usual family visits and I was very scared that her physical and mental health would deteriorate drastically. Thank goodness for Right at Home Bristol. They have continued to provide an uninterrupted care service and seen to her needs every day in very difficult circumstances for both the company and all their employees. They have done an outstanding job in these very difficult times, getting a carer to Mum every day on schedule and ensuring her safety. Mum is fine, confused about what has been happening, and missing family, but fine. I clap for all the domicilary care workers who are out there every day doing such work. You are outstanding, one and all.

A really good care company, who go out of their way to adapt care services to my mother's ongoing needs. Brilliant in an emergency (for example when Mum's wheelchair handle got jammed and we couldn't get her in the lift just at the time a care visit was due, the office staff liaised with the carers
out and about to move the schedule around so that we could delay the care visit, get a temporary fix for the wheelchair, and then the carer came.). Really good at working with family, and to look at care holistically across visits, carers and time, for example, if there is a minor health issue, it is recorded, and at subsequent calls, carers are actively following up on checking that things are progressing correctly. An agency that tries to operate as a 'family' and go the extra mile, for example by organising an inviting Mum to a Christmas carol service in December. They're really good!! I trust them to do the best job they can for Mum.

Mum has been using Right at Home care services since May 2019.
She was concerned about having carers to help, but since the beginning, they have been very kind, compassionate and caring.
Nothing has been too much for them, and as a result, she really looks forward to seeing them.
The office staff,
especially the team leader; has been wonderful in accommodating our needs as well as showing concern for the whole family.

The ladies involved with my husbands care from Right at Home are caring and considerate. Carers aren't automatically caring people, these go 'over and above the call of duty' and are very supportive of me. I feel so much better after they have been. I am my husband's main carer.

From the office to the carers nothing is a problem.
They are always on time and even when last-minute early hospital appointments are made they always go the extra mile to sort new times.
Christmas this year they even had a trip to a carol service which went down very well with my mum who is 94.
She
loves conversation with them and they are always busy whilst still having time to engage in conversation.
Very pleased.

Right at Home have been providing carers for Auntie for almost two years and have been fantastic and treat her with a great deal of dignity and understanding.
All the carers have been attentive and helpful and are happy to provide some company and conversation as well as undertaking their care duties.
They have also been happy to go that extra mile if other needs arise.
All levels of management and office staff are engaged, well informed about the day to day situation (and are willing to pitch in as required) and are efficient with the administration of the service.
With 3 visits a day, every day, care costs mount up but, given the amount of visits and the level of service, Right at Home provide great value for money.

I have found the company excellent. I find that all of the carers really go above and beyond to treat my husband with dignity and respect. I have been with Right at Home a long time and I have absolute faith in them. They arrive on time or let me know when they are going to be late. I would like a little
more of a regular staff team but all the carers they send are so caring and attentive to my husband's needs.
I have a designated coordinator who goes above and beyond to not only to support my husband but myself also.
The registered manager also provides care for my husband and also supports me with me being my husband's deputy as I find some of the paperwork hard to complete and without his support in his own time I would find this hard.
I can’t thank the company enough for all the help and support they give me and my husband.

My dad was cared for, for approximately 5 months. He was treated with the utmost kindness, care, compassion and dignity.
We were supported as well and you listened to our worries and helped us to look after my dad at home for so much longer than we would have been able to do otherwise. He was treated
as a friend with a smile and a joke which meant a lot.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.926 for Right at Home (Bristol) is calculated as follows: ( (50 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 54 Ratings = 4.926

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Right at Home (Bristol) is based on 9 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4.9

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Right at Home has such a refreshingly professional and individual approach to providing quality home care.


On my return to the UK after 20 years away, this was the one business that actually had a set of values that I could believe in, and made me want to contribute.


You have to ask yourself some difficult questions before agreeing to trust somebody else to look after your family.


Right at Home gave me the answers that I needed to hear when I asked myself those questions: quality, reliability, compassion, humour, thoughtful, thorough and honesty.


Delivering care can be both difficult and stressful, but so rewarding. Having a team of carefully selected and properly trained people who are passionate about what they do, can really make a difference.


I’ve always worked in the service sector, and the need for quality, management of risk, transparent ethical behaviour and getting the best out of people have always been part of the recipe for keeping a client content. Helping the Polish Government establish their social rental housing system was a great privilege, but this is even better – with Right at Home, you get to help people stay independent with dignity.


It’s a great feeling to take home in the evening to the family.
