From the first phone call we made to ask for help with our father’s care, Right at Home (Worthing & Shoreham) couldn’t have been more kind, friendly, reassuring and professional.
The manager came to see my parents, sister and I at the family home to discuss his care needs and he was so warm and practical.
My father’s care was tailored to his care needs perfectly and the carers who came each day and night were exemplary, every one.
They took time to ensure our father was comfortable and even found time to sit and have a cup of tea with our mother, which was of huge comfort to my sister and I.
Our father needed someone to sit through the night with him in his latter days and the carers from Right at Home were wonderful, especially one carer who was with our dad as he slipped away in his sleep and gently woke us so we could be with him while she made us tea.
The team will never know what a huge difference they made to us in our father’s last few weeks. We felt like a team.

Right at Home has done a great deal to understand what my son needs from his carers and make sure they tailor his care so that all his needs are met. He struggled to interact with the carers initially so Right at Home employed a carer of a similar age and who has similar interests. He is now my son's
favourite carer and he looks forward to seeing him as they often go out for something to eat and he has a great time. The whole team are very helpful and approachable which makes communicating with them a very positive experience.

Reply from Simon Phillips, Registered Manager at Right at Home (Worthing & Shoreham)

Thank you so much for the review. It's an absolute pleasure supporting your son and it's been great to see him develop with his interactions with staff. We are so happy he's enjoying his time with the caregivers

The carers are punctual, very caring and friendly. My mum was particularly concerned that she would have to see a different person each time, but this is not the case. She has had the same friendly, cheerful carer which gives her piece of mind. Thank you.

I contacted Right at Home Shoreham with regard to care for my elderly father. Right from the start, they have been really efficient and very professional. They were very quick to set up the care and it has been a huge help to my father as we are not local. All the staff have been very caring and a big
help to my father on their daily visits. It has made all the difference in helping him to continue to live independently. The team in the office are very efficient and great at communicating when needed. We find the app very useful and reassuring as well. Thank you

Very caring and professional people. I could not have managed without them. They arrive on time even when the traffic is atrocious and help me with medication, a shower and clean clothes. They can cook and nothing is too much trouble. I am very grateful.

The care given to my mother-in-law by this company has been amazingly good. All of the ladies are caring, and nothing is too much trouble. The admin are brilliant and keep us informed of issues immediately any arise. I can't thank all involved with mother-in-law's care enough for everything they do.

I am very pleased with the support that Right at Home has been providing for my mother this year. The carers all have a warm and friendly approach and have developed good relationships, meaning she happily welcomes them into her home. Carers are careful to follow all procedures as agreed and are adaptable
to changes when needed. The admin team are keen to ensure that the care plan closely reflects my mother's needs and this is updated regularly, through face to face meetings. Communication strategies are excellent, I am always kept updated about routine and specific matters. My mother recently had a small hospital procedure and the team at Right at Home were fantastic in following the aftercare treatment steps, even contacting the hospital when there was a concern and taking her for her follow up appointment. The personal touch from Right at Home sets them out from the rest.

My partner and I are so happy with the service and kindness we have received. We know my partner's mum is very difficult to please due to her condition, you never know what mood she will be in, but the carers have done an outstanding job to keep her happy. It was really nice for us to be able to go
on a little Wales holiday and not having to worry about my mother-in-law, as we knew she was in good hands and well looked after! We are already planning to create a permanent care plan for her because we were so happy with how it all went. We can only recommend them and are looking forward to implementing the new permanent plan.

We've found the carers to be friendly and caring. We can talk to them easily. We've found them easy to have in our house and they're nice to know. We've found that the carers have helped us to catch up with household tasks which have made things easier for us.

My mother has been a client of Right at Home since Easter 2018. I've been very happy with the standard and consistency of care. The company has also been very flexible and able to respond to changes in support required. For example, at times my mother has needed more (after a fall) or less (when in
hospital) care visits. I would not hesitate to recommend the service.

Very happy with the attention, thoughtfulness and real care that my mother received from all at Right at Home.
Carers provided invaluable relief to my father and my parents' live-in carer as my mother's Alzheimer's-related care needs became more acute.
I was also impressed with the efficiency that
I encountered in dealing with them.

The carers keep exact time. I like a 7am call; they come at 7am spot on. Although I mainly have two carers my remarks apply without fail to all of them. They are attentive to my needs, considerate, polite, gentle (and gently authoritative when I talk too much!), efficient and intelligent.
The company
is small enough that the HQ staff know me; the director and other HQ staff check up on my satisfaction. If there is staff absence, the director will turn up. Staff go well beyond their remits; shopping, telephone calls (I am partially deaf), cleaning, even when not asked, hoovering off their own bat.
I cannot speak too highly of the company.

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 4.874 for Right at Home (Worthing & Shoreham) is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.874

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Right at Home (Worthing & Shoreham) is based on 20 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.
