  • Right at Home (Portsmouth), Portsmouth
Right at Home Portsmouth delivers high-quality home care to older people and adults living with a disability to help them remain independent in their own homes, and provide peace of mind for their families - whether it be just a little help that's needed around the house, some companionship, a meal to be prepared, or perhaps help with bathing or dressing.

Right at Home Portsmouth carefully select CareGivers for their compassion and empathy, taking on people with the most caring nature and then training them to the highest standards.

Continuity of care is extremely important through unrushed, minimum one hour visits built around a client’s individual needs. CareGivers are introduced to each client, and meaningful and lasting relationships are as important as performing the necessary tasks.

From the very start Right at Home have been nothing but kind and caring. They listen to your needs and provide a care package accordingly. Since Mum fell ill last year they have been helping us, and when lockdown started and our own ability to help Mum was limited, Right at Home stepped up too by increasing
their visits. They are flexible, responsible and really caring. Mum's carers are really wonderful and we are so grateful for everything they do.

Right at Home were extremely accommodating, arranging personal care for my father at an early start which he preferred and which they always accomplished, never being late and always providing reliable and caring staff. Both my father and I were really happy with all their staff.

Right at Home employ a good calibre of caregiver and they look after our mum very well. We have three one hour visits per day to supervise pill-taking, washing, meal making and deliver and some cleaning. The caregivers are polite, punctual, pleasant and well presented. The house is kept well and they
interact well with mum. We have had other care providers and Right at Home are definitely superior in every way. The company is well run and if we were looking for the best care for our parent again, we would choose Right at Home.

Right at Home are a superb company and the care is really excellent and very professional in a specialist way. I suffer with brittle bones, carers are kind, go out their way to please and encourage to head towards whatever you want to achieve - in my case my hobbies, painting, creative writing. The
office match client to carer and hobbies. Right At Home are the best in my view.

I am enormously grateful to Right at Home - both office staff and carers - for their wonderful support and care of my elderly father in his last months. Dad was very fortunate to have such a fantastic team of carers who always impressed with their care, kindness and genuine love for their work.

My mum received care in her home from October 2018 to January 2019. The arrangement ceased when her situation changed and she needed round-the-clock care, which she now receives in a residential home. We were very pleased with the service Right at Home provided.
The service was set up promptly at the
point when the support became needed. Mum's care plan was carefully constructed by Right at Home, was tailored to meet Mum's precise requirements and was delivered flexibly to ensure her needs were met. The managers we met at this stage were empathetic and clearly explained the formalities and practicalities of providing the care. An example of the organisation's responsiveness involved one of the managers stepping in to provide personal assistance to Mum during an initial set-up visit before our contract had been established.
All the carers who supported Mum were very caring and engaged with her in a professional but human way.
Right at Home kept us informed about how Mum was doing. We were particularly impressed by the way carers noticed aspects of Mum's lifestyle and needs and made suggestions about practical ways her life at home could be improved.

Reply from Joe Morgan at Right at Home (Portsmouth)

Thank you for your very kind words. It was our privilege and pleasure to assist your mum to live independently in her own home for as long as possible. She had such a good rapport with our staff who continue to ask after her well-being.

Right at Home are an exceptional care provider. They were consistently on time and provided a high level of care. They made my father, a very proud man, feel at ease and he was always very positive about his life through their genuine interest in him. I felt that they really cared about his and my mothers
overall well-being on a very personal level. I cannot praise them enough.

Having phoned a few care agencies I was delighted when I got through to Right at Home Portsmouth. On the phone, they were lovely, management good and carers excellent. Having not received outside care before my dad was delighted with the care and also company they gave him. He was treated with dignity
and friendship. This, in turn, allowed me more freedom to go out knowing he was in good hands. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

The sitter that came to us was lovely, friendly and very professional. She arrived on time every week and my husband was pleased with her company. She helped my husband to make tea safely and was always cheerful. Unfortunately, my husband no longer needs the assistance and we miss her coming each week.

From the moment I made the initial telephone call to Right at Home (Portsmouth), I was treated with courtesy, patience and professionalism. The assessment visit to our home to discuss services provided and clients needs was thorough and reassuring. The manager who carried out this assessment was a charming
person and gave my husband and I complete confidence in using Right at Home (Portsmouth) - SHE LISTENED. The care provider who has looked after my husband is delightful and I have no reservations about leaving my husband in her sole care and her ability to attend to his needs in my absence. In a word EXCELLENT.

I'm absolutely pleased with the service. All the staff are friendly and I can't fault them at all. My son has taken to them all including the management. It is very rare as he doesn't take to everyone, in fact, this is the 1st time. This has made things a lot easier for me. My son is happy and I am
happy. They will always go above and beyond to help my son and I.

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

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Right at Home (Portsmouth) is based on 17 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.

Job Title: Managing Director

Joined: 2016

Having worked for over 30 years in the aerospace industry, I decided it was time for a change and to aim for a better quality of life for not just me and my family but those in the community around us.


Becoming a Right at Home owner has helped me to achieve just that. The important things in life for me are family and faith. I am married to Madeline and we have been blessed with four daughters and two grandsons. I am an active member of my local church and help with different ministries, including visiting the sick, elderly and vulnerable in their homes and providing transport when required. I also coordinate our church’s contributions to the local foodbank.


I have a passion for helping people particularly the most vulnerable in our society. Right at Home Portsmouth has given me the opportunity to transform my compassion for caring into my daily job as well as creating the space in my life for more active voluntary activity within the local community.


Madeline, and I look forward to helping you, and we are always available, be it for a chat or for immediate assistance.

My family are very important to me as is living my Christian Faith.


I have been married to my husband Joe for 36 years and we have been blessed with four wonderful daughters: Ciara, Rachel, Emma and Niamh. We also have two lively grandsons named Fionn (Finn) and Conan. We are all the proud owners of our flat-coated retriever ‘Alphie’ who is keeps us all on our toes! Part time I also teach in a wonderful school and work mainly with 7 and 8 year old children.


My professional qualifications include:


A NVQ Diploma Level 3
Primary teaching
Level 5 qualification in Health and Social Care.


In terms of my personality I am caring, hard working, a good listener, loyal and have a good sense of humour. When I give care, it is crucial for me to make my clients feel happy and secure. The ultimate reward is knowing that I have made a difference (even if a small one) to their lives.
