My uncle decided he would like carers to come in and help him, so we arranged for Right at Home to visit and discuss what his needs were. They are very helpful and listened to him and put a care package in place. My uncle has changed his mind a few times about what he would like and the times that he
would like the carers to come in and Right at Home have been very good and dealt with this. All the staff have been good with him and I would recommend this company.

Thank you so much for your review, we always try and accommodate changes to call times and days and understand that it can take time to adjust to having care at home. Your uncle is a pleasure to support!

All staff attended on time and gave mum care and attention as needed.
Often gave over and above and always showed respect.
Mum enjoyed their visits. Would be happy to continue if she hadn't needed extra input.

I have been very satisfied with all the care that I have received from Right At Home. All of the carers have been willing to chat with me and sympathize with my problems and any issues I have been having. As well as my personal care, they have helped out with various housework that needed doing. I am
very happy to recommend them.

Reply from Jag Ahluwalia, Managing Director at Right at Home (Bedford)

Thank you for the recommendation, we're glad to help in whatever way that we can and all of our team enjoy their chats with you!

I had initially approached a number of providers to supply some "respite care" for my wife to allow me some time out of the house. Out of all the providers we saw, I found Right at Home to be the most professional, organized and in tune with what we required. My wife then had to go into hospital, and
in order to get her discharged, we needed to get a care plan in place. The managing director of Right At Home quickly put this in place and was most helpful in assisting me in navigating the "system" to get her discharged. All the carers we have seen over the past month have been excellent and really helped in my wife's recovery so far. They have also been very helpful in getting occupational therapy and physio referrals. They arrive on time without fail and are always cheerful and positive. I can highly recommend this company based on my experience.

Thank you so much for this feedback, balancing professionalism with care is part of our mission and we're glad that it's worked so well for you. It's been a pleasure supporting the two of you on your journey and we look forward to seeing your wife improve further!

The carers are excellent, pleasant, courteous and always caring and helpful.
When they come in the morning they make my day by cleaning me up and have a laugh whilst maintaining my dignity.

Helpful, underand standing, concerned about 'my' (husband's cover) health/wellbeing although I am fully aware of what I do and how I far I can go. Prepared to go the extra mile to provide night care.

Reply from Jag Ahluwalia, Managing Director at Right at Home (Bedford)

Thank you for your comments, you've been doing a fantastic job with your husband's care and we're glad that we've been able to help and provide brief respite for you.

The Managing Director of Right at Home visited me quickly to listen to and assess my sudden care needs and within three days he had devised a care package for me. The following week this was in place and my first care assistants visited. I was impressed by his calm, helpful and efficient approach and
together with his team, this has allowed me to gain strength and stay in my own home. In the ensuing months, I have enjoyed the helpful and thoughtful visits from the care ladies who have an excellent understanding of working with the elderly and putting them at their ease.
