  • Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe), Ipswich
Right at Home Ipswich, Woodbridge and Felixstowe is proud to be rated as ‘Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission (May 2022). Right at Home Ipswich’s owners care about both Clients and Caregivers, and are proud to have owned and run two 'Outstanding' rated homecare services.

The team provide high-quality care to enhance Clients' lives, enabling them to live safely and happily in their own homes. Visits are a minimum of one hour, allowing time to provide person-centred care that isn’t just ‘task-based’. Caregivers do not just perform a task and then leave! Whether a client is being assisted with home help, personal care or is being accompanied out in the community - companionship and encouragement are always at the heart of their service.

From experience, excellent care starts with recruiting the right individuals who want to make a difference, and ensuring they are trained and supported to be exceptional Caregivers. Each of the team is personally introduced to their new clients who they see regularly. A trusted Caregiver should become an invaluable part of a Client’s support network, but without taking over! Clients are fully involved from the outset, with the aim to do things with the Client where possible, rather than just for them.

So, if you or a loved one are considering any of the services below from just one hour a week, please get in touch for an informal chat and further information.

From the start we found the care and compassion to be excellent. Relationship with carer was easy and all needs were and are completed with full satisfaction.

I cannot tell you how grateful we are to the wonderful caregivers who visit my mum on a daily basis. My mum was not altogether welcoming to the idea - and can be difficult - but the team have persevered, offering support and assistance in a discreet and dignified way, whilst providing hugely vital
mental and emotional support to my dad. Mum has now begun to seek the carers out to ask when she needs help, which is a major step forward. The daily notes from the carers are so helpful to us - being some distance away - and we really feel they go the extra mile to brighten up both mum's and dad's days. I cannot recommend Right at Home enough.

In September 2024 my wife's dementia had reached a stage where she was refusing to shower or wash her hair. I tried offering help and encouragement but she would not co-operate. At this stage I sought help and contacted RightAtHome because of their excellent ratings.
The carers come (usually singly)
for one hour each day at 7 a.m. This time is important because my wife will not wait any longer before wanting to get dressed. They treat her with dignity and respect and offer plenty of encouragement and praise and obviously do not force her to do anything against her will.
Over the course of a couple of weeks they were able to get her back to co-operating and she now showers each day and frequently has her hair washed.
The carers also clean up the bathroom and do a quick hoover over the lobby, kitchen and hall floors. They also check if there is anything else I need doing.
I certainly appreciate the progress that has been made.

Reply from Claire Percy, Director at Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe)

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit such a detailed and helpful review. We're so pleased the Caregivers have made a difference in helping your wife get ready for her day. From our experience, if someone can have the best possible start in the morning, it can help that person have a positive rest of the day:). Please ask the Directors or the office team if there is anything else we can assist with at any time.

We are delighted with the care our mum receives from Right at Home. The initial meeting with a member of staff focussed on building rapport and understanding Mum's needs. She was then matched with excellent caregivers. We like the fact that each visit is a minimum of an hour long so that time is spent
offering companionship as well as care.
Communication via the app is thorough and support from/contact with the office is efficient and swift. They respond well to changes in scheduling and care needs.
I would heartily recommend Right at Home.

I'm so glad I found Right at Home to help with caring for my neighbour. They have been invaluable with enabling her to stay in the comfort of her own home. We worked together over the past few years, caring for my neighbour as she needed more help. I was able to get time away, knowing that my neighbour
was in the best hands and that I could rely on her caregivers to pass on any changes or concerns. I was always reassured and kept up to date with the visits via the app. Right at home were always able to adjust to changes in need, and when more visits were needed, this was arranged very efficiently. My neighbour made many new friends through their visits, which was important as she was housebound, and had previously enjoyed catching up with people in town. I felt that we both benefitted immensely from getting care and support from Right at Home. They are so versatile to your needs, and I would always recommend them.

Been having two carers come visit my Brother in law now for 18 months, best thing we have done! He enjoys their visits and they check on him for me which is a relief. When he ended up in hospital for a week, one of the staff members done her visit to him there which he enjoyed.
I love the way I can
read about the visits and know what they have done and how he is on the app.
It's a great service and I would certainly recommend to anyone.
Thank you.

Reply from Claire Percy, Director at Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe)

Thanks for submitting such a lovely review. I'm glad it was helpful to continue Caregiver visits whilst in hospital, and that it's also helpful for you to read the visit notes to let you know how your brother-in-law is doing. As ever, if there is anything in addition that we can do to assist, please ask the Directors or any of the office team.

I fully recommend the team at Right at Home. A professional company who provide a very caring and respectful service.
My uncle was 'matched' with a carer and this continuity has provided him with a very positive experience. Where he was initially apprehensive, he is now very at ease with the assistance.
Communication
with the friendly and helpful office staff is always very good.

The care provided to my Mother is excellent. All of the carers do a wonderful job. Which gives me and my family peace of mind, and has allowed my Mother to remain in her own home. The company has also helped me get extra cover at quite short notice for a not very sociable time.

We have been really pleased with the service from Right at Home - our Mum is not the easiest to deal with as her Alzheimers has made her very aggressive - and the carers do a great job in these difficult circumstances.
We get detailed daily reports from the carers - my Dad who was previously trying
to cope on his own has found it invaluable and it gives us peace of mind that he has some great help.

We have found the staff and carers to be friendly and helpful, conscientious and hard-working. They make a big difference to my parents in Felixstowe. The carers visit to help several hours per week on a regular basis and Right at Home is very flexible in arranging extra hours where required. Many thanks

Signed up with Right At Home six months ago when we were badly let down by a previous carer. Talk about chalk and cheese! From the initial email, when they suspected something was wrong and offered help if it was needed, to present day the service offered by all at Right At Home has been exemplary.
It was hard for Mum to adjust to new carers and it took her a while to settle into a new routine, but the patience and kindness of everyone at Right has been second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Right At Home.

I was formerly Owner and Director of Care for a Hampshire-based private home care service for older adults. I was proud to lead our team to an ‘Outstanding’ rating in 2016 when at the time just 2% of home care providers were awarded this rating. The regulator said there was ‘a model of personalised and compassionate care, which was a golden thread that ran through the whole of the service.’


I’m confident that our compassionate team at Right at Home Ipswich is trained and motivated to provide our clients with the best person-centred care and support. That is just one of the reasons I love my role!
