  • 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.

Your service supports my mum; the service support is at the right level for my mum's needs, and she gets on very well with the lady that comes round. My mum has said that she is very happy.

Review from Ian H (Son of Client) published on 19 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We selected Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe) following a recommendation from a carer at a home my Mum was receiving respite care at.
This is never an easy decision to make, entrusting someone into your parents home when they are alone, however from the very first meeting to the care
received to date we could not be happier. A very professional, friendly and caring service has been provided and I have not seen my mum looking brighter for quite some time. This is a step above a straightforward personal care service, and from previous experience, it's not always just the personal care that is needed where the care is given, then the carer leaves straight away. In addition to the personal care where needed, Right At Home also provide companionship, help with those little jobs, non-rushed time to have a nice conversation etc, all of which allows for a very rounded and worthwhile service.
100% recommended.

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.909 for Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe) is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.909

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe) is based on 52 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Claire Percy

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:)!

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.
