Right at Home (Croydon)

We have been very pleased and grateful for all the kind care and attention especially for the understanding given to my husband who has mild dementia. He did not get on with one carer but this was quickly resolved when I phoned the agency. I have recommended your services to several acquaintances of mind who are in the same position as us.

The carers are always on time and friendly and considerate to both my parents, it is a joy to have them in the house.

The back up in the office is always very efficient and understanding with last minute alterations.

My dad has been a care recipient from Right at Home Croydon for six months now. They have made such a difference to his overall quality of life and have helped him to achieve his goal of staying at home (safely). He is very fond of his carers, and in fact refers to them as his 'visitors' and friends. They take very good care and have encouraged him to be a little more independent. His carers have encouraged my Dad with his clothing. My dad used to love clothing and was always well dressed however once my mum died, he lost interest in his appearance. They actively encourage him to make choices about his clothing and appearance and I am forever commenting on how smart he looks (even his grandsons say he looks dapper). One of the carers has introduced my Dad to gardening which is something he had not done before - he now enjoys it (surprisingly). Carers play dominoes and cards with him. For me as his daughter it has allowed me to enjoy spending time with my dad as I don't visit him to undertake household chores or worry about his care anymore. I see him for a cup of tea and a chat like we did when mum was alive. My family home feels like a lived in family home again. My dad is very happy and content in life. Although he was reluctant to accept the help - he wouldn't change it for the world now. I believe Right at Home stepped in and gave my dad a new lease of life!
