Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have only just started using Right at Home but our experience so far has been very positive. Our lovely Dad has come to the point where he needs some help but very much wants to stay at home. When we met Dad's carer she ensured that Dad was heard and really took time to get to know him, and find
out about his needs but also him as a person. Our cater is wonderful, patient and so communicative with Dad, making sure he is comfortable at all times. From our experience so far I'd have no hesitation in recommending Right at Home.

Thank you so much, the personal approach is central to what we do! Your father is a delightful gentleman and I personally absolutely loved listening to his stories!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was struggling to care for mum morning and night as I have a full-time job. I contacted the Manager online and one of the referrals was Right at home. The Care Coordinator then contacted me and arranged a visit; I was very happy with the meeting and agreed for the company to help with mum's needs.
Since the carers have been visiting mums, overall issues have improved. They are always very polite and have built up a good relationship with mum. We have a 7am visit Monday to Friday and they are always on time. The care and attention given to mum is excellent from assisting her with dressing to hair wash and breakfast. I can now go to work in the mornings and this part of my life has changed, Overall a great company.
Reply from Jag Ahluwalia, Managing Director at Right at Home (Bedford)

We're so glad that we've been able to support both you and your mother. We fully appreciate the demands placed on family members (as effectively unpaid carers) so we really strive to support the whole family as well as the client. Thank you for the review!

I have only recently engaged Right at Home to come for an hour first thing in the morning to give me my breakfast, and assist me with showering and dressing, together with other duties such as bed making, laundry and washing. When I was unwell recently, they got me medical attention and followed up
to see how I was. The duties are mainly shared between two carers, whom I get on well with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle decided he would like carers to come in and help him, so we arranged for Right at Home to visit and discuss what his needs were. They are very helpful and listened to him and put a care package in place. My uncle has changed his mind a few times about what he would like and the times that he
would like the carers to come in and Right at Home have been very good and dealt with this. All the staff have been good with him and I would recommend this company.
Reply from Jag Ahluwalia, Managing Director at Right at Home (Bedford)

Thank you so much for your review, we always try and accommodate changes to call times and days and understand that it can take time to adjust to having care at home. Your uncle is a pleasure to support!

All staff attended on time and gave mum care and attention as needed.
Often gave over and above and always showed respect.
Mum enjoyed their visits. Would be happy to continue if she hadn't needed extra input.

Thank you for your kind words. We do always aim to go 'over and above' and are glad that we were able to step in and support.

I have been very satisfied with all the care that I have received from Right At Home. All of the carers have been willing to chat with me and sympathize with my problems and any issues I have been having. As well as my personal care, they have helped out with various housework that needed doing. I am
very happy to recommend them.
Reply from Jag Ahluwalia, Managing Director at Right at Home (Bedford)

Thank you for the recommendation, we're glad to help in whatever way that we can and all of our team enjoy their chats with you!

Review from Gavin H (Husband of Client) published on 7 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had initially approached a number of providers to supply some "respite care" for my wife to allow me some time out of the house. Out of all the providers we saw, I found Right at Home to be the most professional, organized and in tune with what we required. My wife then had to go into hospital, and
in order to get her discharged, we needed to get a care plan in place. The managing director of Right At Home quickly put this in place and was most helpful in assisting me in navigating the "system" to get her discharged. All the carers we have seen over the past month have been excellent and really helped in my wife's recovery so far. They have also been very helpful in getting occupational therapy and physio referrals. They arrive on time without fail and are always cheerful and positive. I can highly recommend this company based on my experience.
Reply from Jag Ahluwalia, Managing Director at Right at Home (Bedford)

Thank you so much for this feedback, balancing professionalism with care is part of our mission and we're glad that it's worked so well for you. It's been a pleasure supporting the two of you on your journey and we look forward to seeing your wife improve further!

The carers are excellent, pleasant, courteous and always caring and helpful.
When they come in the morning they make my day by cleaning me up and have a laugh whilst maintaining my dignity.

Helpful, underand standing, concerned about 'my' (husband's cover) health/wellbeing although I am fully aware of what I do and how I far I can go. Prepared to go the extra mile to provide night care.

The Managing Director of Right at Home visited me quickly to listen to and assess my sudden care needs and within three days he had devised a care package for me. The following week this was in place and my first care assistants visited. I was impressed by his calm, helpful and efficient approach and
together with his team, this has allowed me to gain strength and stay in my own home. In the ensuing months, I have enjoyed the helpful and thoughtful visits from the care ladies who have an excellent understanding of working with the elderly and putting them at their ease.
