Overall Experience

Right at Home (Loughborough) looked after me after I had undergone a hip replacement in May 2025, when they took over my post-operative care following on from my family. I was required by the surgeon to wear anti-DVT socks for the six weeks following the operation -- an impossible task for me to perform.

So for four weeks, RaH carers visited me twice daily to see to the (dratted but necessary) socks and to give me care and support as needed as I regained strength and ability. It was apparent to me that every single carer who visited me was extremely well-trained in every aspect of the role. I enjoyed the companionship of each of them, despite my challenging circumstances which, of course, continued to improve with time. From first contact to finish, the RaH management proved extremely capable, flexible and user-friendly. As the time came to ditch the socks and my care was no longer needed, there was some regret, but I am whole-heartedly happy to recommend this care-providing company.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you very much. It is always very rewarding when we have helped with a client's rehabilitation to the point that our service is no longer required. Thank you, too, for the special comment about our training, which we do take very seriously. Our induction programme is five days long, and I take day one, which I see as very much part of onboarding. Strong training and a very diligent selection process result in high-quality and consistent care across the business. Thank you.

Overall Experience

They were very friendly. They arrived on time and were very punctual. They had an amicable demeanour. They performed their duties at the standard that I expected of them.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you very much. Respite visits are an essential service for the client and particularly the client's family. Being a full time carer is physically, mentally and emotionally very demanding and carer fatigue is very real. We offer this for just a day or two or extended periods, it is of course all dependent on the client and their family. It also serves very well as an introduction to care to which, sometimes, there can be some anxiety or resistance. It was a pleasure to support your family and we look forward to the next time.

Overall Experience

Right at Home have been helping my parents live safely at home for three years or so now. They have have been really responsive to changing needs and the quality of service is very consistent. The management team have always responded quickly to requests or concerns.
My father has been particularly

struck that not only are they providing a very professional service, but that they do genuinely care about his wellbeing. Contact with the carers themselves help keep my parents engaged with the wider world in a way that wouldn't otherwise be possible and there are many examples of when they have gone above and beyond what could be expected.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you. It is clear from the comments we have from all CareGivers who support your parents that, they really look forward to their visits and they are a pleasure to support. They have real interest in and, genuinely care for our Caregivers and as a result they do feel very much appreciated. I will pass your kind words to the care team who I know will be thrilled. Thank you again.

Overall Experience

The company is very efficient, responding quickly to emails, sending schedules and confirming arrangements. My father's carers were kind and compassionate, but efficient in the care they provided. The company has much to recommend it.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you very much. I particularly appreciate that you point out that it is entirely possible to be efficient and still be caring. This is the essence of person centered care which requires a professional but entirely human approach. I fully understand the four star score for value for money but our fees are entirely driven by both National Minimum Wage and soon, the increase in Employers National Insurance Contributions. The costs of providing care which meets the CQC's standards of being Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led are now huge and sadly will only increase. Thank you for your considered review.

Overall Experience

My mother required live-in night support whilst she recovered from a health issue.
Right at Home was very responsive and able to meet our requirements in a matter of a few days. More importantly, the care was excellent and the people who "slept in" overnight with my mother were terrific, the ability

to have consistent faces was important for my mother as she could develop a trusting relationship which she did very quickly. Cannot recommend these folks highly enough.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you so much for your very kind words. It has been a pleasure to support your mother and family and it is always very rewarding when a client's recovery and rehabilitation is successful and our services reduce or cease completely. We know we have done our job! Regarding our ability to commence service quickly, this is largely a feature of us always having capacity as a truly person centred provider and then consistency service and the care team allocated is so important. Thank you again, this review will mean a lot to the carers involved.

Excellent service provided by the carers who go in every day. They take time to chat with my mum as well as completing the various jobs for her. My mum is always happy when they have visited. Thank you.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you so much for your kind review. Completing the 'tasks' on a care plan are obviously important and, can be critical. The importance of having genuinely caring staff who, have the time for conversation and to listen, should never be overlooked. This time also allows trained, professional caregivers to observe and monitor: is the client in good spirits?, are they communicating as usual, are they sitting comfortably -essentially looking for changes which could indicate, infection, progression of a condition or a low mood, all of which are hugely significant. This is person-centred care.

Overall Experience

We have until recently had the pleasure of using Right at Home as the secondary care provider for my father for the past two years.
We have found the company as a whole to be very professional and also flexible during difficult times.
The staff are friendly, caring and always treated Dad as an individual

and with respect. The quality of care has been exceptional, always willing to go above and beyond for him. Thank you so much.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you for your very kind review. It has been a pleasure supporting your Dad and your wider family. It is particularly pleasing to note your comment on flexibility, which is so important when circumstances change. A contributing factor to our responsiveness is that we only work in a person-centred way and as, we don't tender to the local authority, we do not intensively roster our CareGivers. This means we always have built-in flexibility to help our clients and their families when they need us most.

Overall Experience

My husband has dementia and requires help with personal care. The management team at Right At Home in Loughborough were incredibly helpful and thorough with a very 'can do' attitude. The staff who care for my husband are well-trained and meticulous. They have total respect for both my husband and my

home and we both look forward to their visits. They are patient, kind and always good-humoured - a vital asset when caring for someone with dementia.
They do not leave us until I am entirely happy and my husband is comfortable and settled.
I would recommend Right At Home to anyone who is looking for care for a loved one. Thank you so much.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you so much for your very kind review. It was lovely to meet you at our office recently to 'put a face to a name'. It is particularly gratifying to see your comment about training which, is a very high priority for us. We are very unusual in having our own in-house personal care training which, is usually taught on the job. We have very high standards for our CareGivers which, begin with initial screening, through induction and continue into five days of induction training. We see induction training as very much part of the on-boarding process and not everyone who starts the training goes on to finish it. The personal attributes such as patience, kindness and being respectful are the most important in selecting the best CareGivers. Thank you and kind regards, David

Overall Experience

My aunty has required care in her home since two periods of hospitalisation at the end of 2023. The care which has been provided by Right at Home is exceptional. The supervisory and management team keep up excellent communication and offer superb advice and suggestions. This is very welcome when trying

to look after an elderly relative as it is often very difficult to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing when it is something you are not experienced with. The caregivers are so kind and caring, very often going above and beyond their standard duties to help out both my aunty and us, her close family. Myself and other close family members live over an hour away from my aunty, so it's very comforting to know that she is in such good hands. Right at Home, you are doing an excellent job - thank you.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you so much for your very positive review. I will, of course, share your comments with both the management team and caregivers. We all love what we do and are completely person-centred; however, it is very much appreciated when clients or family take the time to let us know how much of a difference we make. It is a pleasure supporting the whole family, thank you again.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law needed care suddenly after a short illness. I rang Right at Home Loughborough who answered the phone straight away, they arranged everything in a professional, friendly way. The carers arrived at more or less the same time each day. They helped my mother-in-law to get dressed, prepped

breakfast and other meals, hot drinks etc. The staff were clean and well presented and more than helpful, cleaning the bathroom, making beds, and putting the vacuum around when asked to do so. Very good service, not cheap but worth it.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you for your comments about our service. Our rosters are prepared a week in advance, so if there are some slight changes in times, clients are aware. It is our policy for our caregivers to advise the office if they are running late so that we, in turn, can let our clients know. We also pay our CareGivers above the National Living Wage, so not only are we looking after our caregivers, but we can attract and retain the best. Our prices are therefore directly linked to the National Living Wage which, has increased alot and frequently. There is also a significant cost in ensuring that we follow the CQC's key lines of enquiry, which means that the service must be safe, caring, responsive, effective and well-led. Unfortunately, it is now very expensive to run a fully compliant care company. Thanks again for your comments.

Right at Home (Loughborough) provide excellent care and support for my mother, enabling her to stay in her own home. The carers are kind and attentive, willing to go the extra mile if need be to ensure that her needs are met.
They are very understanding of her medical conditions and the company itself

frequently demonstrates that the client is at the forefront of all decision-making. I know that if there are any concerns that arise I will be notified immediately and the rest of the care team will likewise be informed. I would therefore not hesitate to recommend Right at Home (Loughborough) to anyone seeking highly professional home help.

Right at Home Loughborough are an outstanding provider of care services. They have provided care for my mother for three days per week, for over eighteen months. The care staff are all friendly and extremely competent. The management systems kept at her home, ensure that any issues are reported and

Thank you very much. It has been a pleasure to support your mother from the very first visit. We are of course primarily focused on our client but are very happy to help with advocacy and sign-posting to benefits and services which, helps family carers too. I hope your mother will settle quickly into her new home and we wish you all the very best for the future. Kind regards.

Right at Home are providing outstanding care to my mother. They have been very careful to understand her needs and match her with a carer who has helped her adjust as she is needing increasing levels of support. Taking her food shopping and ensuring the food is put away once home, leaves Mum able to

manage her own meals. She really looks forward to the visits and companionship as well as the practical help she receives. I highly recommend Right at Home.

Reply from David Newcombe, Managing Director at Right at Home (Loughborough)

Thank you for your kind words. It really did make a difference though to work with you to find the most suitable CareGiver for your mother. As you know our first choice was not a success which, may have been due to timing. It is a huge thing for many to accept that they may need some support and this needs to be handled with patience and respect. It is evident that your mother and her regular CareGiver get on very well which, is essential and why we take the time to get it right. Thank you again and kindest regards.
