The time I have been with Right at Home has emphasised my opinion of the super effort and kindness given by all the staff and all those with whom I've been in contact with.

I have met most of the team and can at first hand appreciate the overall standards. I am amazed at the enthusiasm and commitment given by each individual.

Overall Experience
We have never needed to rely on support care before but after Mum's fall, we required some short term help until she got back on her feet.
The care that my mum received was first class, in particular, we were struck by the genuine warmth and kindness that your support team showed. Nothing was too much trouble, they were always on time and always arrived with a super positive attitude and a smile on their faces.
It was also very easy to make the initial arrangements with you, listening carefully to what support was required and matching this with the appropriate support package couldn't have been easier or quicker, everything was explained clearly and there was complete transparency.

You surpassed our expectations as a company and we could not have been happier with the care you offered. Thank you so much for supporting the whole family during this time.

Hi Gail

Thanks so much for your very generous comments about our lovely team and the support we were able to provide your mum after her accident.

Overall Experience

Now in my 90th year, I have not had to use the services of a care company until about 6 months ago, but find that now I couldn't function without the daily use (daily exercise) of one. The staff, hand picked, arrive on time each day (weekends included) and form now a very pleasant start to each day. Their quiet confident matter of expertise is impressive and they exude a professionalism with what they do and say. As I enter a new decade I look forward to needing more of their skills.

Reply from Kevin Lancaster, at Right at Home (Reading & Wokingham District)

Thank you, Anthony, for your very generous feedback. It's our pleasure to give you the little bit of extra support that helps you to continue to lead such an active independent life. Your team of girls all very much enjoy their visits with you and we're all looking forward to the next decade...

Can't fault the service from this company. I have heard some horror stories about carers and organised this service for my mother with my breath held. Time to exhale now! Each and every aspect has been brilliant. Caring to its top level and a super bunch of people to deal with.

Review from Angela B (Wife of Client) published on 2 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Obviously when care begins you are always worried that the care doesn't match the advertising/hearsay. But within the first 24 hours, this was an agency that not only matched the advertising but goes over and above the call of duty. You can set your clock by the arrival of the carer. Each carer brings their own brand of thoughfulness, care and love. To us they have now become part of our family. Without any hesitation I would recommend this company to anyone who has the need of a steadfast and reliable care worker. They give you the confidence to know that your loved one is in the safest possible hands.

Reply from Kevin Lancaster, at Right at Home (Reading & Wokingham District)

Angela, what lovely feedback. It makes me incredibly proud when I hear things like this said about our team. We all feel privileged to have been chosen by you and the family to help support your husband. He has made a lasting impression on us - a lovely man. I'm very touched that you took the...

Both the management of Right at Home Twyford and the carers looking after my mum, have been first class. Professional and thorough, but also friendly and considerate. My mum regards her primary carer as her new best friend.

Review from Keith S (Client / Service User) published on 27 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've been using Right at Home, for several months to care for my elderly mother with Parkinson's disease.
I interviewed several care providers before choosing Right at Home and I would highly recommend their service.

The staff are very knowledgeable and have implemented several specific tools to help manage my mum's care, they have also proved to be flexible, considerate and very thorough in their approach. The Registered Manager is very experienced and took great care to select the right carers and introduced them gently to my mother. I am very happy with the women deployed, the level of care and understanding they offer my Mum. They have quickly understood the complex drugs and challenges my mum faces and now help her 12 hours per week. The Managing Director has also been interested and attentive, proving they are not just a faceless organisation focused solely on profit, it offers me great peace of mind knowing Right at Home are there for support.

Reply from Kevin Lancaster, Owner/Managing Director at Right at Home (Reading & Wokingham District)

Thank you, Keith, for your kind comments. We really value your feedback and are very proud that you chose Right at Home to support your mum.

Your staff who came to me were very kind, helpful and understanding; also approachable and professional.
I know they only helped me for a short time, they were amazing.
I would recommend your company to anyone.
I would not hesitate to call if I needed your help again.

Thank you.

Wow - thanks for your very kind remarks Irene. It was a pleasure to support you while you needed a little help, and our caregivers all very much enjoyed their time with you. Of course, feel free to give us a call if you ever need a helping hand in the future.

Review from Paul (Husband of Client) published on 14 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After phoning 13 agencies that could not help, Right at Home pulled out a minor miracle.
With 6 hours notice, they sent out their MD to carry out the assessment and complete the paperwork.
The carer arrived at the hotel 1 hour before the Christmas party started and assisted getting my wife ready.
Care was excellent, and the carer was superb - a wonderful person.
Other agencies said, “we can’t because you need an assessment” where Right at Home just did it.

A fantastic response, and cooperation between the Reading office and the Maidenhead office which provided the staff.

Reply from Kevin Lancaster, Managing Director at Right at Home (Reading & Wokingham District)

Thanks Paul

It was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife, and be able to provide the support and peace-of-mind that you were looking for.

When the team learned that your original plans had not worked out at such short notice, we could only imagine the disappointment you both must...
