When my father-in-law needed care, we contacted Right at Home. We were not disappointed! He had a small team of carers who got to know him very well, they were all kind and caring and communicated well with the family, especially through the pandemic when we couldn't visit as often. The office team
have always been helpful and reviewed the care regularly to amend the care plan as my father-in-law's needs changed.

Reply from Michael Bowen, Managing Director at Right at Home (Swindon)

Thank you for your kind review. Over the two and half years we cared for your father-in-law, the carers became close to him and always looked forward to visiting.

The really lovely and wonderful team of carers always do their best to go above and beyond. They are kind, caring, thoughtful, supportive. Having strong bonds with a lot of the carers has meant so much, both in looking after my physical well-being and mental illness. The week between August 7th - 13th,
which was the week of my 50th birthday, I was overwhelmed and really moved by all the love and kindness from all the carers who came to see me and the surprises that I received; it was the best birthday I have had since before my mum died in 2009.

Mother-in-law has been having carers from Right at Home for almost two years, and she is delighted with the care she gets. She usually receives care from the same group of ladies, whom she thinks of almost as friends. They are responsive to her needs and very careful and respectful of her personal needs.
The
oversight from management is also excellent, with regular reviews both with her and with the family to ensure all is well.
We have no hesitation in recommending Right at Home to anyone in need of that extra bit of care.

Reply from Michael Bowen, Managing Director at Right at Home (Swindon)

Thank you for your kind review. The carers find your mother-in-law very friendly and love visiting her. I am so glad she is enjoying the visits too.

This is the first time we have used a care service and our experience has been excellent. My mother has a carer twice a week and she is very good at her job. All the carers provided have been of a good standard, never late, always efficient and helpful. My father has dementia and the carers help keep
my mum sane.
The office staff are equally as good, always helpful, do regular reviews and mean them. I could not ask for a better service.

Reply from Michael Bowen, Managing Director at Right at Home (Swindon)

Thank you so much for your review. We always look forward to visiting your parents who always show their appreciation and are a delight to support.

Where to begin. Well, on the day my aunt was discharged from hospital, one of the management team was waiting there with me when she arrived. My aunt has always been included in all care planning through out. My aunt is amazed at the care she is and has been receiving, as at her previous residence she
was treated very differently. Her health and wellbeing has greatly improved since being cared for by this wonderful team of carers. The communication and caring skills are so good, I have no hesitation in recommending them to family and friends. In fact, I already have. Many, many thanks to all the wonderful people who care for my aunt!

The agency found a company who had vacancies in the local area. The carers arrived on the right day and at the right time, looking well-cleaned and suitable for the job. They were very polite and greeted my husband very well. When my husband became ill and needed more care, they provided it with no
fuss. They have continued to work well and become friends, chatting and including me in what they are doing. I am very happy with the care my husband is receiving.

Our family cannot express our gratitude to this amazing, friendly, loving, caring company. Without their daily visits twice a day, which my mother looks forward to, we may have found it difficult for her to remain in her own home. Thank you.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.783 for Right at Home (Swindon) is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.783

    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 (Swindon) is based on 30 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 + 0.1 = 5

  • 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.

Michael Bowen

Job Title: Managing Director

Joined: 2015

I am married to my lovely wife, Sue, and have four children to keep to me busy. After many years working as an accountant in a variety of organisations including EMI, TNT and BBC Worldwide I am delighted to be moving into the world of home care. Whilst I am proud of what I have achieved in the past, my role as a Right at Home franchise owner is taking me into a whole new world where I can help to improve the quality of life for others.
Customer service has always been central to my work ethic and so it is a bonus that I can put this to good use in such a person-centred way. It is also a joy to be working with the bigger team at Right at Home who demonstrate their kindness and passion for care every day. To compliment my work I have become a dementia friend and now a dementia champion. I was amazed to discover how much can be done to improve the quality of life for those with dementia so long as you have the right knowledge.
Our company values are based firmly on person-centred care and everyone here at Right at Home Swindon is utterly devoted to maintaining those values. So, if you want a friendly face to call in and help you with everyday tasks around the home, personal care or simply to chat to then we have the perfect person waiting for you.

Joined: 2020

I am proud to be the Team Leader at Right at Home Swindon. I joined this incredible team back in 2020, starting as a Caregiver with no prior experience in the field. Right At Home Swindon provided me with comprehensive training and unwavering support, and I was warmly embraced by my colleagues who offered tremendous assistance throughout my transition.


From the very beginning, my passion for working in the community, especially in the comfort of clients' homes, became evident. I'm dedicated to enabling clients to maintain their independence and safety while providing the support they need. In 2022, I achieved my Level 3 qualification, marking a significant milestone in my journey, and seamlessly transitioned into the role of Team Leader.


As a Team Leader, my responsibilities extend beyond providing vital support to clients. I play a crucial role in mentoring and supervising Right at Home Caregivers, offering them the guidance and support they require to excel in their roles. I work closely with all of my colleagues to assess the unique needs of both existing and new clients, crafting personalised care plans that prioritise individual well-being.


My commitment to personal and professional growth is evident, and with the full support of the Right at Home Swindon team, I've now attained my Level 4 qualification, further enriching my expertise. Outside of work, I prioritise my well-being by frequenting a local gym, recognising the importance of exercise as a means to unwind. Additionally, I cherish quality moments with my family and friends.


The ethos of the Right at Home team is encapsulated in a commitment to dedication, compassion, and ongoing improvement, making me an invaluable asset in our mission to provide exceptional care and support to our clients.
