Review from Justin C (Son of Client) published on 22 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Right At Home stepped in to provide cover care over Christmas after we'd been let down by another company at the last minute. They were terrific. Despite the time of year, everything was sorted out in 48 hours and they were responsive and flexible throughout. The management team went to great lengths
to ensure they provided carers to fit my father's needs and were always on hand if we had any queries. The carers themselves were excellent. I wish we'd gone to them in the first place - we definitely will next time.
Reply from Claire Percy, Managing Director at Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe)Thank you for taking time to write such a kind and positive review for us. It's very much appreciated. The CareGivers loved seeing and supporting your father and we hope he will visit Suffolk again in 2021.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having recently had my parents relocate from the south coast to be near me in Felixstowe, I was a little concerned about the change in care providers, but without cause. We have 2 incredible caregivers. One doing daytime visits 3 times a week and one 3 evenings a week to help Dad with showering and
shaving (male carer). Absolutely brilliant service.
Reply from Claire Percy, Managing Director at Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe)Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely positive review for us. It’s a team effort and a pleasure to support your parents.

Review from Roger P (Son of Client) published on 2 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We approached the manager and her team when Mum needed care in her own home, their response was extremely quick and efficient with a team of caregivers being introduced to Mum and initial care package put in place less than 48 hours after our first telephone call. The Right at Home team made an immediate
and very valuable difference for Mum and the family, spending quality time with her to ensure her safety and well-being. When it became clear that Mum's care needs were greater than expected, the team again responded brilliantly going out of their way to provide additional visits and sleep-in care. Their highly professional, caring and trustworthy approach, supported by excellent care plans and communication with the family, was a huge help. The level of care provided was exceptional and we would have no hesitation in asking Right at Home to provide further care whenever it is needed.
Reply from Claire Percy, Managing Director at Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe)Thank you for taking time to write such a lovely, positive review for Right at Home Ipswich Woodbridge and Felixstowe. We really appreciate it. It has been a pleasure for the office team and the Caregivers, to support her when she needed us.

We have found Right At Home to be very professional, well organised, and a pleasure to deal with. The caregivers have been attentive, warm, kind, and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering care for their loved ones. Thank you!
Reply from Claire Percy, Managing Director at Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe)Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review for us. I know that both Caregivers very much enjoyed providing support to enable our client's granddaughter to have a break. It was a pleasure to meet the family, and we hope you will ask Right at Home Ipswich to assist again if needed.

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.

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.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.913 for Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe) is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 320 Ratings = 4.913

(1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Right at Home (Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe) is based on 54 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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.
