Review from Paul C (Husband of Client) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
In September 2024 my wife's dementia had reached a stage where she was refusing to shower or wash her hair. I tried offering help and encouragement but she would not co-operate. At this stage I sought help and contacted RightAtHome because of their excellent ratings.
The carers come (usually singly) for one hour each day at 7 a.m. This time is important because my wife will not wait any longer before wanting to get dressed. They treat her with dignity and respect and offer plenty of encouragement and praise and obviously do not force her to do anything against her will.
Over the course of a couple of weeks they were able to get her back to co-operating and she now showers each day and frequently has her hair washed.
The carers also clean up the bathroom and do a quick hoover over the lobby, kitchen and hall floors. They also check if there is anything else I need doing.

I certainly appreciate the progress that has been made.

Overall Experience
We are delighted with the care our mum receives from Right at Home. The initial meeting with a member of staff focussed on building rapport and understanding Mum's needs. She was then matched with excellent caregivers. We like the fact that each visit is a minimum of an hour long so that time is spent offering companionship as well as care.
Communication via the app is thorough and support from/contact with the office is efficient and swift. They respond well to changes in scheduling and care needs.

I would heartily recommend Right at Home.

Overall Experience

I'm so glad I found Right at Home to help with caring for my neighbour. They have been invaluable with enabling her to stay in the comfort of her own home. We worked together over the past few years, caring for my neighbour as she needed more help. I was able to get time away, knowing that my neighbour was in the best hands and that I could rely on her caregivers to pass on any changes or concerns. I was always reassured and kept up to date with the visits via the app. Right at home were always able to adjust to changes in need, and when more visits were needed, this was arranged very efficiently. My neighbour made many new friends through their visits, which was important as she was housebound, and had previously enjoyed catching up with people in town. I felt that we both benefitted immensely from getting care and support from Right at Home. They are so versatile to your needs, and I would always recommend them.

Been having two carers come visit my Brother in law now for 18 months, best thing we have done! He enjoys their visits and they check on him for me which is a relief. When he ended up in hospital for a week, one of the staff members done her visit to him there which he enjoyed.
I love the way I can read about the visits and know what they have done and how he is on the app.
It's a great service and I would certainly recommend to anyone.

Thank you.

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

Thanks for submitting such a lovely review. I'm glad it was helpful to continue Caregiver visits whilst in hospital, and that it's also helpful for you to read the visit notes to let you know how your brother-in-law is doing. As ever, if there is anything in addition that we can do to assist, please ask the Directors or any of the office team.

I fully recommend the team at Right at Home. A professional company who provide a very caring and respectful service.
My uncle was 'matched' with a carer and this continuity has provided him with a very positive experience. Where he was initially apprehensive, he is now very at ease with the assistance.

Communication with the friendly and helpful office staff is always very good.

We have been really pleased with the service from Right at Home - our Mum is not the easiest to deal with as her Alzheimers has made her very aggressive - and the carers do a great job in these difficult circumstances.

We get detailed daily reports from the carers - my Dad who was previously trying to cope on his own has found it invaluable and it gives us peace of mind that he has some great help.

Signed up with Right At Home six months ago when we were badly let down by a previous carer. Talk about chalk and cheese! From the initial email, when they suspected something was wrong and offered help if it was needed, to present day the service offered by all at Right At Home has been exemplary. It was hard for Mum to adjust to new carers and it took her a while to settle into a new routine, but the patience and kindness of everyone at Right has been second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Right At Home.

Review from Berenice H (Daughter of Client) published on 15 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The skill and kindness of the carers and management at Right at Home agency Suffolk ensured Mum had food, company, attention, and home help. Mum's regular falls and infirmity, but rigid refusal to accept more care became dangerous and upsetting. The carers provided much-needed help as I am the only surviving relative and live abroad. Right at Home provided enormous assistance during the period of particular stress when Mum finally admitted defeat as she could no longer manage physically. Right at Home found a place for her and completed the move from home to care home. The carers had become real friends to her and management could not have been more supportive and effective. The thing is that Mum adores the home she has been moved to! She is cheerful again! I still have Right at Home carers visiting her as she would miss those wonderful people. We could not have managed without them.

We were looking for a company to offer companionship to my 90-year-old grandmother. I approached Right at Home who were welcoming, friendly and supportive. Grandma was given the best support and service by the carers and as a family we are thankful. The level of service from start to finish was professional and respectful. I would highly recommend Right at Home and thank the managing director and her team for their kind support and professionalism.

So very grateful for their kindness, while caring for my aunt. They gave their time so she would no longer be lonely while housebound. The company helped her immensely. She loved them and they loved her. I was reassured and kept up to date with regular emails.
My aunt managed to stay at home as long as possible which was her wish.
I was very lucky to find this company as many did not go to this area.

I would highly recommend this company and its wonderful team.

Right at home have been reliable and consistent with care. Dad has one regular carer, twice a week whom he gets on well with. He is a difficult client and the care he gets is still superb.

Claire PercyJob Title:OwnerJoined: 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:)!

Our Heros!

I’m Bill Percy, Owner and Director at Right at Home, providing high-quality home care to our clients in Ipswich, Woodbridge and Felixstowe.

My previous roles have been within the corporate drug testing sector, as a Healthcare Manager, and supporting those with learning disabilities. I enjoy delivering Dementia Awareness Workshops to healthcare professionals, voluntary groups and family carers. I’m also a Dementia Champion.

I was motivated to join the home care sector in 2011 after my Mother was diagnosed with dementia. I could see there was a greater need for high-quality person-centred companionship and care, and was proud to be co-founder of a Hampshire-based homecare service for older adults which was awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating in 2016.

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. To us, it’s essential to support those in our community, offering each and every person the best care and support whilst promoting their independence.
