The most caring two ladies we have ever met who are prepared to undertake any and many varying jobs. They have lovely personalities, although both are different in many ways. Always punctual and smart and equipped to carry out the projects required.

I am very grateful for the care provided by Right at Home. The carers are friendly, caring, and efficient and I feel looked after by the carers and the company. The carers often go out of their way to provide more than just the basic care. For example, shopping, collecting medication, and providing
companionship.

My mother-in-law is receiving exceptional care and her needs are fully met, her dignity and respect are a priority. The care services go above and beyond to ensure she is personally cared for. We feel that the service my mother-in-law receives is with the utmost compassion and professionalism. Her main
carer is becoming an integral part of her daily care which ensures the family are reassured she is happy and safe in her home.

I cannot rate Right At Home highly enough. Every carer that comes through Mum's door comes with a smile and treats Mum with the utmost care, compassion, and dignity and she loves every one of them. I have complete peace of mind that she is being looked after on every visit. Right At Home provides a
5-star service. Thank you.

Contact is punctual and accurate, care is considerate and functional.
All needs are met continuously and without fail, with good consistent communication all the time.
Caregivers give a real sense of responsibility and understanding with, at times, a very awkward and stubborn patient.
Would recommend
Right at Home to anyone who has these requirements.

I’m really pleased with the service given to my dad. Right at Home contact me about any issues or concerns the caregivers have with regard to my dad’s health and well-being when they happen. This means I can make sure he has everything he needs or arrange appointments for his health needs. I live one
hundred miles away so can only see him every other week in person; it’s very reassuring to be ‘kept in the loop’.
Right at Home also let me know if there are any local activities that he might like to attend.
He has recently started to attend the monthly village lunch where he lives, thanks to one of the caregivers finding out about it and arranging to take him. He really enjoys this as it gives him the chance to meet up with old friends that otherwise he might not see.
My dad is very happy with the caregivers he sees and regularly sees the same staff. He has Alzheimer’s so continuity of staff makes it easier for him.

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 4.962 for Right at Home (Colchester & District) is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.962

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Right at Home (Colchester & District) is based on 22 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.

Peter Flannery

Job Title: Owner Operator

Joined: 2016

Peter Flannery opened Right at Home Colchester and District in January 2016 having made the decision that homecare was a very rewarding way to build a family business and work within the local community, making a positive difference in people’s lives every day.


Peter is married to Katy and together they have three grown-up children, Ben, Joe and Charlotte. Peter and Katy have lived in the Colchester/Dedham Vale area since 1990.


Peter began his management career in the brewing industry working with Grand Metropolitan, Courage and Bass before moving to the staffing industry in 1998, where he operated at the board level for more than 14 years running market-leading staffing businesses in the education sector.


Following his father being diagnosis of Dementia, Peter realised that he could apply his background and experience to the local provision of high-quality home care services.


“High-quality service has always been essential to me throughout my career and my passion for being the best at providing that service is what drives me every day, ” Peter explains, “and nowhere is that more poignant than in homecare provision. I am determined that our team provides the best quality care at home in Colchester and the surrounding district.


“It’s the quality of our people that really make the difference and we put a lot of effort into selecting the highest quality CareGivers, investing in their continuous professional development, providing them with a great environment to work in and ensuring we match their personality and skills closely to our clients’ needs.”


Peter is particularly passionate about the areas of Stroke support and Dementia and is a Dementia Champion. His mother suffered a serious stroke at the age of 28 and he has in-depth personal experience of dealing with the unique challenges of caring for and living with stroke survivors.


Peter says: “It is hugely rewarding to be able to come to work knowing that we make a real difference in people’s lives every day and it is a privilege to work with such a committed team of CareGivers and our fantastic clients and their families.


“A key member of the Right at Home team is Gina Emmins, my highly experienced Registered Manager. We are both looking forward to helping you, your family and friends with whatever your needs or queries maybe.”


Gina

Gina Emmins

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2019

I started working in care when I was studying in college at the age of 17.
In 2011, I was given an opportunity to join a local Homecare provider as a Caregiver. While working for them I also made up my hours by working in local residential homes. I quickly made my way up the business being promoted to Senior Caregiver, Weekend Service Provider, Assistant Care Manager and Manual Handling Trainer. Then in 2015, I was promoted to Care Manager.


I worked there until 2018 when sadly I was made redundant. After working at a couple of other domiciliary companies but not quite fitting in, I received a message from Orla at Right at Home who told me about the Registered Manager opportunity here. The vision and mission of Right at Home is everything that I strive for when supporting my team and clients. I joined in May 2019 and I am loving every moment. My role is always changing and it throws many challenges on a daily basis but that’s why I love it so much.


My nan worked in care for many years before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Nan lived in her own home until she was too unsafe and went into residential care. Even though she needed care herself, she would still try to support other residents in the home because she cared so much for other people. Mum and I still cared for her even when she moved there and up until her death. I wanted to honour her and her memory by continuing to support people to live as independently as possible and to live their life in the way they want to.


I have always been brought up to treat others how I would like to be treated and being in care enables me to do this and to support my team to do this. Making a difference in people’s lives makes me so happy and that is what I live for and provides my motivation every day!

Hello, Hi, I'm Ben!


I am the Recruitment Executive/Social Media guru here at Right at Home, if you're looking to work with us then get in touch with me, I'd love to hear from you!


An interesting fact about me: As a child, I once faked a limp for 2 days, until eventually being taken to hospital by my parents. I then proceeded to walk across the room perfectly normally when asked to by the Doctor - whoops, sorry Ma!!

Hey! I'm Kath.


I have been in care since 2017, I started out as a Caregiver for the elderly then moved to Colchester where I had my first Care job working with people with learning disabilities which I loved, No two days were ever the same.


Since then I have worked hard to expand my knowledge into all different aspects of care including clinical care. I have now moved into Business Administration within Right At Home Colchester! This way I am still involved with the job I love!
