My mum was very happy with the care and service provided. The carers were very friendly, courteous and helpful and assisted my mum with whatever she needed. I would certainly be happy to recommend them.
Reply from Giles Ellerton, Managing Director at Right at Home (Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern)

We were so pleased to be able to meet your mother and help her along her way to recovery. She has been a really wonderful and positive lady that our carers are loving to see and support. Thank you for your very positive message.

We've been using Right At Home for some time now and overall, our experience has been very positive. The carers are reliable, friendly, caring and professional, and they've treated our family member with patience and kindness. Communication with the office has been good, and any concerns or changes
we've needed to make have been dealt with promptly and respectfully. Both the office team and the carers have done their utmost to be supportive to both my husband and myself.
We're grateful for the help we receive and feel confident recommending them to others looking for solid, compassionate care.
Reply from Giles Ellerton, Managing Director at Right at Home (Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern)

Thank you so much for giving our team such a boost. We are so delighted to be able to support H over the years. The team has commented on what an amazing supportive and caring wife you have also been to him, and it is this partnership working that is so uplifting for our wonderful carers to witness. We hope that we can continue to support H so that you can have some much needed respite care too. With best wishes from all the team.

We have received an outstanding service. Right from the very start, the Managing Director personally responded to my enquiry and it was a relief to speak with someone who truly understood not just what I was having to deal with but also how the rest of my family and in particular my parents were feeling
as we were taking on care for the very first time. He and the rest of his team went out of their way to understand our needs and help us to feel comfortable with our care arrangements. The carers who came could not have been more kind with my parents and tuned into their personalities practically immediately. We would highly highly recommend Right at Home to anyone.
Reply from Giles Ellerton, Managing Director at Right at Home (Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern)

It has been a great pleasure to meet all the family and be able to advise on how to manage things at home for everyone concerned. Our carers were welcomed and this make a big difference. Thankyou so much for giving us the opportunity. With best wishes.

We were so impressed by the service from Right at Home (Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern). The management team, especially the manager, were very good to deal with and all of the carers were friendly and supportive. Although my father was the one having the care (due to dementia and mobility issues following
a fall), the carers were a great support for my mother too as she felt quite isolated due to my father's dementia. The carers all recognised this and ensured they chatted to my mum. We were all so pleased with the service and would recommend Right at Home to anyone.
Reply from Giles Ellerton, Managing Director at Right at Home (Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern)

we were delighted to be able to support your father at a time of transition, when he needed more support. We realise the impact that increased care needs are placed on partners, so it was especially good to hear that you mother also benefitted from our care visits. We wish your parents all the best as they settle into their new home.

Only joined Right at Home at the beginning of May 2025 following cessation of previous care provider. Experience generally good but various communication issues as to service times took a while is settle down. Service provision satisfactory and a nice group of care staff.

All of the carers are delivering a first rate service. They think on their feet when needed and genuinely seem to have mums best interests at heart. Mum loves them and is very happy with them all.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Right at Home to others.

We are so delighted to be supporting your dear mother. She is a delight and always ready to help our carers to help her. We look forward to helping her get out to the community in the coming months ahead.

Review from Fiona C (Daughter of Client) published on 3 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
RAH has provided care for my 93-year-old mum for over 2 years. Initially, they set out to preserve her independence at home following a fall. Over time, her physical and mental health began to deteriorate and RAH was able to adapt the care provided to meet her personal needs. The service was innovative
and flexible whilst remaining sensitive and personal. RAH provided consistency and frequently the same couple of individual carers would visit Mum at home on a regular basis. The result was that both Mum and the family could develop a trusting and understanding relationship. RAH was always approachable and responsive as needs changed or if the situation required it. For example, Mum became upset about the approach an individual carer had taken with her and RAH involved the family in a review which improved practice. RAH instigated regular and comprehensive care reviews which all parties found very helpful. Mum made good connections with her caregivers and we are pleased we chose RAH.
Reply from Giles Ellerton, Managing Director at Right at Home (Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern)

We have been so delighted to look after your mother since we began in 2022. She has become a firm favourite of all of those that cared for her. Of particular note was how engaged and supportive her immediate family was for her, and working together with you all has meant that we have been able to offer more responsive and personal care. I was so delighted to be able to meet all four of her (adult) children you have all been very sympathetic. Thank you all for your support of our carers too. We are so pleased that the transition to care home has been a good experience and look forward to paying a visit to her in the coming weeks.

We were a little apprehensive at first as my husband is quite a private person and doesn't like his privacy invaded. He also wasn't quite sure about not having the same person every day but soon got used to the idea. All the ladies who have been have been kind and considerate of his needs also an anaesthetic
at his age is quite a shock to the system especially if you haven't experienced one before. I would thoroughly recommend Right at Home to anybody I know needing care at any time.

We have used the services of Right at Home from January to July 2024. A carer has come twice a week to give my mother personal care. My mother suffers from Alzheimer's and we were concerned that she would be resistant to this help. However, the manager and carers consistently provided my mum with kindness
and compassion. She enjoyed the carer's visits and the chats that they had. They were sensitive to her ups and downs and she felt safe with them. It was also nice for my husband and I to have some respite and the carers were always compassionate towards us too.

Right at Home has been a life changer for my Mum, I live 2 hours away and they have been so kind and professional. Today I rang at short notice mid-bank holiday weekend for some urgent support for my Mum and they were there within 30 minutes - quite extraordinary, many thanks to the manager and the
team and especially the lady today - you are my Easter stars!

We are so glad to be able to support your mother at a time when her care needs are becoming more challenging and we are delighted to be able to adapt and respond to changes when she needs us. She has also treated our carers with the utmost respect and courtesy, making this a true partnership working with client's carer and family members.

Right at Home has provided incredibly flexible and responsive support for our parents. They have trained staff to meet their specific needs. When my dad has been hospitalised on numerous occasions, the manager was available at all hours and at the weekend to arrange increased help for my mum. Staff
have been very caring, and even dropped in later in the day, after their shift was over, to check in when things have been difficult. We are very grateful for all their help.
Reply from Giles Ellerton, Managing Director at Right at Home (Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern)

Thank you for your very kind message. We are proud to be able to look after your parents, and it has been a real pleasure to be able to support them both at home and enable them to continue to remain independent.

My husband at 92 years of age sadly passed away in early December this year. Before that, we had received honest, heartfelt care from Right at Home helping us to cope with everyday requirements and we got to know the carers, their personalities, and their genuine caring spirit which we are grateful

I have been so grateful for the support given to me by Right at Home since very unsympathetic treatment in my home after a pelvic fracture in January and then resulting in partial hip replacement.
The help has meant I can continue living at home and when necessary, visit local shops with them. Right
at Home was the only agency with a five-star rating that has produced at care.

Right at Home have been providing care for my mother daily for the last eighteen months. They are extremely reliable and efficient. They always contact me immediately to let me know of any problems etc. My family and I are all very happy with the service we receive and that gives us peace of mind as
my sisters, brother and I all live some considerable distance from our mother.

Mum is very happy with her carers and it's great for her to have different people to talk to and companionship that the family are unable to meet. She quite often prefers them to help her rather than her family who are not trained in nursing.
