My mum started receiving help at the end of January 2026 after a long illness. She had been completely independent before and was quite worried about relying on people to care for her. From our first discussions with the manager, who visited mum at home, we were put at ease straight away. She spent time chatting with mum and finding out about her life, her wishes and any concerns she might have. The care package was arranged for mum, fitting in with her requirements. Mum is very happy with all of the carers, who are kind, thoughtful and cheerful. We feel very happy to have chosen Right at Home as the care provider for mum and would recommend them without hesitation.

The Right at Home team in Derby provide visiting home care support for my mum, who has well developed mixed dementia, currently aged 87, living alone and was someone who did not want to accept any care support at all, denying the dementia diagnosis. When I engaged the team, my mother was at risk due to her condition and because she is very active, regularly walking 3 miles crossing busy roads. I live 3 hours away. Over time the carers have develop a trust relationship with my mum and we now have a good care plan in place, which reduces my mums risk, with her being pleased to have 'new friends' visiting. The team continue to respond to my mum's developing care needs and I have daily access to the records of every visit. When I have provided feedback to the team, they have quickly responded to it. The team are caring, practical and proactive, responding to situations which have arisen immediately to ensure my mum is safe.

'Right at Home' was recommended by a friend. It took a little time to convince Mum this is a good idea. She is very capable but I wanted her to have (to start with) a couple of hours a week where she could concentrate on getting herself ready for work.
Right at Home came to my parents house for a consultation which I joined. This visit was so lovely, we had a cuppa and Mum showed the carer around the house and spoke to Dad too to make sure he was happy. Mum and Dad weren't rushed at all and we all had a good chit chat about all sorts. Within two weeks the care had started. Mum isn't great with anything online - she rings and pays over the phone and gets an invoice through the post which is perfect. The two ladies that alternate the care are just great and Mum has settled into the routine of being able to leave Dad alone whilst Dads carer is there. We've just booked extra care for a day so I can take Mum on a trip to London! Thank you RatH :)

Right at Home have been tremendous throughout. Every single member of the Team has been incredibly helpful, kind and thoroughly professional in every aspect of their work. Everything has been easy to organise and when we asked for extra help it was there when we needed it. The carers are all very experienced, and are so willing to provide excellent advice and guidance. They are all friendly and easy to get on with. It is like having a friend coming into your home. Just a word about the Admin with Right at Home. Everything is laid out clearly. You know when calls are due in the next week and who will be doing them. If anything doesn't work for you as a client they try their hardest to make it right Invoicing is clear and accurate.
Basically it's hard to think of a better run organisation. At a time when you need help the most Right at Home are there for you.

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support provided by Right at Home (Derby). This was our first experience with home care, and we couldn't have asked for a better team. From the very beginning, the staff were exceptionally supportive, guiding us through every step with patience and understanding. Their expertise in care was evident in the compassion and professional manner in which they attended to my father's needs. They provided excellent care and offered practical solutions to improve his daily living conditions. The team's dedication and commitment to ensuring my father's well-being have been truly remarkable. They have gone above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable and well-cared for, and their kindness has made a significant difference in his quality of life.
I highly recommend Right at Home (Derby) to anyone in need of home care services. Their exceptional support and expertise have made a challenging time much more manageable for our family.

All my carers have been very pleasant, and helpful. Carers have different levels of experience but they all follow directions well and have learned what I need support with and how quickly so I have been very happy with the service Right at Home Derby has provided me with. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone seeking support at home. This has been my first and only experience of home care so I can't say anything about value for money, but I am very satisfied with the care and service that I receive. The only reason I've rated management with 4 stars is because communication has sometimes not been as good as it could be (e.g. between the office and my daughter). However, the carers have been very willing to contact the office on my behalf to check arrangements, etc.

John started Right at Home Derby in 2012 after a long and successful career with an industry-leading family-run business.
Taking up the opportunity to spend time in his community, John was elected as a local councillor in Willington.
It was during a community event that John came across an elderly local parishioner who was reliant on care from a contracted provider. The parishioner was looking for help with getting a reliable service provider who would turn up on time, stay for the full time allocated and have some consistency with the care worker they were receiving.
Whilst trying to help the parishioners with their simple request, John realised that their case was not unique and that there were a lot of people who would benefit from a more personalised and quality service.
Determined to make a difference, John decided to use his experience of growing a quality customer-focused business and translate these into the Home Care sector.
Working alongside a dedicated care team, he is passionate about delivering quality care to the people of Derbyshire.
John is now an active member promoting choice and personalisation within Derbyshire and Staffordshire and sits on the management committee of Derby Care Association which works to provide support to local providers and to improve the social care sector in Derby.
John is a recognised Dementia Friends and is training to be a local champion. John also supports Royal Derby Hospitals Dementia Action Group and works with local support group Making Space to help support people within Derby and Staffordshire.
The goal of Right at Home (Derby) is simple:
To allow your loved ones to remain in their homes for as long as possible.
To add years to the lives of your loved ones, but as importantly, to add quality and life to those years.
In practice, this means:
Turning up on time and at a time that is convenient for the customer.
Travelling in our time and not within the customer's allocated time.
Supplying the same friendly home care assistant on each call.
Each call will ideally last for at least 1 hour.
Each call is built on outcome-based activities to improve the quality of life of the individual.
Away from work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and being a permanent taxi driver to his 5 children.

Transitioning from a background in hospitality and catering to the healthcare sector was a significant career shift, but a comprehensive training programme equipped Jodie well for the new challenge.
Jodie quickly adapted to her role and soon realised it was a perfect fit, wishing she had made the switch earlier.
With the support and encouragement of the management team, Jodie embarked on an Adult Care Worker apprenticeship. Initially, Jodie was apprehensive about returning to education after a long hiatus, but the ample time and resources provided helped her manage her studies effectively.
In December 2021, Jodie expanded her responsibilities by joining the recruitment team, where she focused on identifying and onboarding future CareGivers. This experience broadened her understanding of the business and sparked a new interest in social media management.
Jodie began managing the company’s social media accounts, which opened up exciting opportunities to engage with our community in new ways.
By January 2024, Jodie fully transitioned from the recruitment department to her current role as the Digital and Community Marketing Partner for Right at Home Derby and East Staffordshire.
In this capacity, Jodie oversees our business websites, Google pages, and social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Additionally, Jodie organises charity events, and coffee mornings, and participates in community activities such as local Women’s Institute meetings, sponsored events, fairs, Warm Spaces and Alzheimer’s Memory Cafés.
