Thank you so much for your beautiful review and for sharing your lovely Mum's story. We all grew very attached to her - from her dedicated carers, to our Registered Manager, and myself. She left a real mark on all of us, and we miss her terribly. It was a true honour and privilege for me to support her personally, and I know the rest of the team felt the same. We're so glad she was able to spend her final months in the comfort of her own home, just as she wished, surrounded by those she loved.We were also happy to adapt quickly as her needs changed - increasing hours, providing respite and overnight care at short notice. It meant a lot to be welcomed by your family and to support you all. One of the most special moments was enabling her to get into the garden - calm, peaceful and smiling. Your Mum was an inspirational woman, and we're truly grateful to have been part of her life.

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience. It means so much to us to know you appreciate the care, creativity and dedication of our team. Your mum is a joy to spend time with, and we love making each visit meaningful-whether through art, reminiscing, or making dream catchers. She has particularly enjoyed trips to a lake in the area, nature reserve, garden centre and art centre, always with time for coffee, cake, or ice cream while chatting about life. Our visit to the art centre was especially memorable, and while memories may fade, we leave little notes or sunflowers as familiar reminders. The most touching part is that she always gives us a kiss on the cheek-a beautiful sign that the warmth and connection remain. We understand that value for money is important, which is why our hour-long visits provide the best experience allowing time for meaningful engagement, familiarity and continuity of care. Thank you for trusting us with your mum's care-it's a privilege to be part of her world.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review of the home care your aunt received from Right at Home North Leeds. It was truly our privilege to support her. We are delighted to hear that the team's respectful and friendly approach made her feel at ease. Our care team, including myself and the Registered Manager had the pleasure of enjoying meaningful chats with your aunt about topics close to her heart, such as religion, teaching, and her deep fondness for her family. I'm glad these moments brought joy and comfort. We enjoyed preparing healthy meals for her and were happy to help her attend appointments when needed as well as providing additional ad hoc visits. Supporting her in ways that aligned with her needs and wishes was an honour, and it's incredibly rewarding to hear that we made a difference for her and for your family.

Job Title: Managing Director and Owner of Right at Home North Leeds, Otley & Horsforth
Joined: 2023
Having lived in North Leeds for over 20 years, I know the area like the back of my hand – and I’m incredibly proud to serve the community I call home. As the Owner and Managing Director of Right at Home North Leeds, Otley & Horsforth, I feel privileged to provide high-quality, reliable home care services that help people live comfortably and confidently in their own homes.
Since the age of 30, I’ve owned and successfully managed several businesses – but nothing has been more rewarding than combining my entrepreneurial experience with my true passion: helping people.
I’m especially committed to supporting older adults and those living with dementia, which is why I volunteer with several fantastic local organisations including AVSED, Guiseley Senior Citizens, Guiseley Memories, and Dementia Friendly Horsforth. Whether I’m on a steering group or serving tea at a social, I love being hands-on in the Leeds community.
Outside of work, I’m a proud mum to my two wonderful kids, Ella and Jack, and enjoy long walks with our lively Yorkshire whippet, Alfie. I also love camping, travelling, and getting stuck into the occasional property renovation project.
At Right at Home North Leeds, Otley & Horsforth, I’m surrounded by a dedicated team of professional CareGivers who go above and beyond every day. We provide a wide range of personalised support – including personal care, companionship, respite care, and specialist dementia care – across North Leeds, Otley and Horsforth. Every tailored care plan is designed to meet individual needs and promote dignity, independence and wellbeing.
Creating a positive, supportive working environment is one of my top priorities. I want every member of our team to feel valued, respected and proud of the life-changing work they do.
My personal values are trust, equality and compassion, and they guide everything we do at Right at Home North Leeds, Otley & Horsforth. If you’re looking for a compassionate, trusted provider of in-home care, or would like to learn more about joining our growing team, I’d love to connect with you.
Job Title: Registered Manager of Right at Home North Leeds, Otley & Horsforth
Joined: 2023
Hi, I’m Anna, the Registered Manager at Right at Home North Leeds, Otley and Horsforth, and I’m proud to support our wonderful team from our office in Horsforth.
I’ve lived in Yeadon for many years, and my heart truly belongs here. It’s a privilege to now serve the very communities I’ve grown up in and care deeply about.
My journey into care began in the most personal way – as an unpaid carer for my Grandma, who was living with Alzheimer’s disease. Supporting her through the challenges of dementia was both humbling and rewarding, and it helped me understand just how important compassionate, person-centred support really is. After she passed away, my Grandad moved into a care home. While the staff were kind, I know he would have felt more comfortable and connected staying in his own home, surrounded by the memories he cherished.
That experience inspired me to explore professional care work. I began my career in domiciliary care in Horsforth as a Care Assistant. I quickly realised I had found my calling. I progressed to Care Co-ordinator and eventually became a Registered Manager – a role I’m incredibly proud to hold today.
I’m passionate about providing high-quality, in-home care that allows people to remain safe, independent, and supported in the place they know best – home. I also enjoy giving back to the community through local volunteering with over-65s in Horsforth and Guiseley.
Working at Right at Home North Leeds, Otley and Horsforth has been an inspiring and fulfilling chapter in my career. From the moment I joined the Horsforth branch, I have not looked back.
Every day, I feel proud to lead a team of dedicated CareGivers who make a real difference in the lives of our Clients and their families.
I’m excited about what the future holds as we continue to grow and deliver trusted, compassionate care across North Leeds, Otley and Horsforth.
