Right at Home are a good care company. They have a great set of carers; very knowledgeable and respectful. I feel that any problems get sorted out by the office straight away. Carers have good training, they brighten my day and it's great to have company.

Life has been difficult for everyone of late due to all the additional problems/provisions required because of Covid-19. I have found a wider variety of carers because of this but on the whole, we have maintained a high level of continuity. The carers do care. They are professional and competent in
their work and I value them highly. I have recommended Right at Home (Swindon) to other people in need.

We have found all of the carers very helpful and sympathetic to our needs, especially one lady, who has developed a lovely rapport with the family.

My mother has always lived alone since losing my dad. A year ago she was forgetful with her medicine and meals. She has slowly become more forgetful and has been identified as having dementia. I looked for an organisation who could help with the day to day things like managing medicine, meals, cleanliness,
but also understood the illness we have been managing. I lean quite heavily on their knowledge and have been overwhelmed at the caring nature of the staff. They have gone the extra mile by hairdressing, taking Mum on wheelchair walks, helping me with shopping lists and just being her friends. We are now entering the loss of memory stage where she doesn’t recognise her house. The carers are helping me through this difficult time. All of this has been undertaken during this extremely difficult time for the carers of COVID-19.

I have been generally very pleased with the service provided by Right at Hime and one lady, in particular, has established a very helpful and caring relationship with my wife. She covers most of our visits. Other ladies have varied a little in their duties but their visits have been relatively few and
unfamiliar with our home and have proved an initial problem as well as reaching common areas of interaction in their chats with my wife, no real concerns however. The only real headache has occurred in occasional lapses in scheduling such as the time I had a cataract operation in November.

Whilst my father was still in hospital, Right at Home set up a care package that started the minute he returned home. He has a small team of regular care-givers who provide him with meals, companionship and support 3 times a day. They are excellent! Always several steps ahead of the game. They are even
able to motivate him to do a bit of exercise while they prepare meals. My father appreciates them and so do I! My stress levels and worries have decreased significantly. The office staff/managers are also very helpful and proactive.

We have found the company very flexible and accommodating for extra shift requests at short notice and have a good cancellation policy.
All the staff are very personable and some go above and beyond to meet my father's needs and well-being.
One carer, in particular, has a wonderful relationship with
dad and us as a family as dad lives with us to the point where we have been able to take short holidays and employ the carer to join us to enable dad to enjoy a break with us too. This last year would have been much more challenging without the support of this wonderful team of carers.

I would like to say I have been supported by Right At Home, Swindon for over two years. They have always been respectful, supporting me with my dignity of privacy and emotional support. The carers are outstanding. They keep my chin up as I have terminal cancer.

I chose this care service through the website and I was not let down. You lived up to your ethos.


My mum had exemplary care and was treated with dignity and respect as was I. It is a difficult decision to entrust care to others of your loved ones and I felt I could trust each caregiver to support

my mum through her complicated illness. My mum loved the company of carers. Thank you.

We did not really get to know the staff for the short time we had carers. It did seem to be expensive but maybe all care companies are the same.

The company is very good, I have never had care before. The carers are smart and polite and treat you nicely. They take a lot of care to help me with health issues which I get very worried about. I'm scared each day as I get a lot of pain as I try to do things I should not.

My father has stated that he feels Right at Home deliver a high standard of care as his previous carers did not work to the quality of Right at Home. He is contacted regularly from the registered manager to check he is happy with his carers. As my dad is terminal if he is or has had a bad time, they
will listen and communicate to discuss how he feels. They provide all of his care in a person-centred way making sure that he is fully included in his care. Very impressed and excellent care.

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 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.

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.

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.
