  • 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). The Owners are proud to have owned and run two 'Outstanding' rated homecare services, with just 4% of homecare providers in England achieving Outstanding.

It is important to the Owners that Caregivers are trained, supported and paid fairly. 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 the service.

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 to 24-hour live-in care, please get in touch for an informal chat and further information.

From my initial telephone enquiry up to the start of care, arranging respite for my Mum has been a stress-free process. The kindness, empathy and professionalism I experienced was very reassuring and I was able to go on holiday, confident that Mum was being looked after - although I did check the app
a couple of times whilst away!
I found your charges reasonable with none of the hidden add-on's and extra's, that I discovered with other providers but at the end of the day peace of mind is priceless! I would not hesitate to use your services again or recommend you to others, in fact Mum has already mentioned you to a neighbour.

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

Thank you for taking the time to submit this informative and positive review. I'm glad it was a stress-free process, and that reviewing the visit notes was helpful too. Please do not hesitate to contact the Directors or Office Team if you should need our services again.

After coming home from Hospital my mum had follow up care provided by others, which overall was very poor, however, I then contacted Right at Home, who had previously given my Mum care at home. They couldn't of been more helpful and got care in place for exactly when we needed it. The ladies that coordinate
the carers are excellent and each Carer has been so good and helpful and they've given my Mum more confidence to help her stay at home. So many thanks to everyone at Right at Home.

Having someone visit Mum has given my sister and I peace of mind. Mum really enjoys her visits, the flat is spotless, and Mum is happy and relaxed. We cannot recommend them enough. They discussed all her needs in detail and matched her carer really well.

We recently met with the Manager from Right at Home to discuss care options for my father. From the very beginning, she was warm, kind and incredibly gentle in how she spoke with Dad, she made him feel completely at ease. She really took the time to understand his needs and communicated everything clearly
and compassionately. She arranged for a caregiver to come out, who was absolutely lovely. She was friendly, professional and clearly knew what she was doing. In the end, we decided not to go ahead just yet, as my dad feels he does not need this level of care right now. But we were so impressed with the team that we will definitely be coming back when the time is right. Thanks again to your Manager and everyone at Right at Home.

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

Thank you for taking the time to submit this positive review for us. I know his carer will appreciate your kind words. She enjoyed helping your dad feel at ease and enabling him to feel involved with his care planning. You are welcome to contact us again anytime.

Such a good idea having the introduction of the carer with the client a few days before.

It would be hard to overestimate just what a huge and positive impact our carer has had on both our mum and, as a result, our family. In just a couple of months she has become an invaluable member of our family, treating our mother with respect and dignity, speaking to her in a kind an adult way. She
has come up with imaginative ideas to help mum get out and about (chair yoga is something new mum is trying) and shows care and compassion when mum feels less able to get out.


As well as supporting mum, she does a first class job of the household chores that need doing (something so many cleaners and cleaning-carers, don't do to such a high standard). She is thorough with great attention to detail.


Mum loves her visits - they get on so well and not only is there great mutual respect but they also have a good dose of fun. Mum would already be lost without her - she thinks the world of her and really looks forwards to her visits which we've now extended by an hour each visit.

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

Thank you for taking the time to submit such a positive review for us. I am so pleased your mum is benefiting from her Caregiver visits. It's lovely to hear when one of our clients and their Caregiver are doing things together, as our aim is to make our someone feel purposeful and to have a positive experience with their care. If there is anything in addition we can help with, please contact the Director or Office Team any time.

The caregivers arrive on time, are really friendly and do their jobs well. If there are any issues, I ring the office and they are helpful and responsive. Receiving the schedule two weeks in advance means I can update my mum's diary so she knows exactly who is coming and when. We're very happy with
the service.

I continue to be impressed by the standard and consistency of care provided to my mother. She is treated with kindness and respect by her carers and appreciates being cared for by predominately the same care giver every day. She has formed a close bond with her carer who, because she knows her well,
is able to spot if anything is amiss. I find it particularly reassuring to be able to read the carer's notes, and am always able to speak to someone in the office if I am concerned. Equally the office will always phone me if they are concerned.

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

We've (my wife and I) been really pleased with the service from Right at Home - my Mum is not the easiest to deal with, especially as her stroke & dementia symptoms worsen, but the carers do a great job.
It's an invaluable service to allow my wife and I some space to recharge (as we're fulltime caring
for mum)

My mother is 93 and has dementia but remains in her own home with support from family and Right at Home (RAH). With the dementia her toileting has become and issue. Most recently the particular concern was blood traces in her incontinence pad. RAH staff drew this to my attention when first seen, I was
able to get a GP appointment the same day. There was a reaction to the prescribed antibiotics, but RAH staff were able to get my mum settled for the night.

Job Title: Owner

Joined: 2020

I’m Claire Percy, Owner and Managing Director at Right at Home Ipswich, Woodbridge and Felixstowe.


As the Owner and Director of Care with our former Hampshire-based home care service, I was proud to lead our team to an ‘Outstanding’ rating in 2016. 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 was an Inspector for the Care Quality Commission when we moved to Suffolk in 2018. We were again awarded an 'Outstanding' rating for Right at Home Ipswich, Woodbridge and Felixstowe in 2022 and we're so proud of our team and their commitment to being the best. It is my privilege to work alongside the best Caregiver and office team! There are some amazing individuals in the caring sector, and it feels like they work with us:)!

After moving to Suffolk with co-Director Claire, we launched Right at Home, Ipswich, Woodbridge and Felixstowe. We’re excited to be recruiting and training a growing team of compassionate CareGivers.
