Right at Home have been caring for my grandparents for several months now and we can not recommend them enough. The care team are kind, supportive, and caring, and goes above and beyond. One staff member in particular is fabulous and nothing is ever too much to ask! Thank you all for your continued
care and support.

My 99-year-old dad needed support after injuries to both arms. We chose Right at Home as their pitch placed greater emphasis on the emotional side of being cared for than others. Two one-hour visits per day covered all his needs from dressing and personal care to meal preparation and laundry. He quickly
got to know his carers personally and cannot speak highly enough about their support and assistance. The carers encouraged my dad with his physiotherapy exercises and regaining his independence in terms of washing, dressing and preparing his food. After a few weeks we dropped down to one visit per day and then later 3 visits per week. At all times there has been clear communication between the family and Right at Home so that all arrangements worked out smoothly. We won't hesitate to use this company again.

The staff at Right At Home have been great.
We made contact as Mum was deteriorating with dementia and in need of more help.
Following a detailed assessment and home visit, the team were able to rapidly get a package of care in place that felt both professional yet personalised. The lead time to start
the package was a matter of days and that helped take a weight off our minds.
Right At Home initially started visits twice daily but have increased to three times daily after gauging Mum's needs. The care provided has been comprehensive and compassionate.
The carers have worked wonders with Mum - managing personal care, nutritional needs and engaging in social activities, both at home and with trips out.
In addition to the care provided for Mum being great, the team have also provided practical assistance to us by helping get repairs done around the house which has been a godsend as we live a distance away.
Thank you!

Reply from Rachel Critchley, Director at Right at Home (North Leeds, Otley & Wetherby)

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a glowing review. As you know we absolutely love visiting your Mum! We are so pleased that we have been able to support her and delighted that she has also been able to gain a little weight over the last few months from the nutritious meals we have prepared for her. We have enjoyed listening to her singing along to her much-loved music. She particularly enjoyed us taking her to the Cookridge scarecrow festival the other week. She loves it when we paint her nails too! It was so nice that she did some drawing again with our caregivers and we hope that we can encourage her to do some more again soon. It is wonderful to see her so happy. Thank you once again for choosing Right at Home North Leeds, Otley and Horsforth. Take care.

Right At Home have been very professional and supportive from day one providing support on a weekly basis to my elderly mother (92). Who is still very independent but needs a little bit of extra support. I have built a strong relationship with them as my mum‘s carer and they go the extra mile when you
need some help and advice.

Reply from Rachel Critchley, Director at Right at Home (North Leeds, Otley & Wetherby)

It is an absolute pleasure to support your Mum. We have been happy that we have been able to assist with any extra companionship visits too when you are away, I will pass on your feedback to the team. Thank you for choosing Right at Home North Leeds, Otley and Horsforth.

The manager and her team provided great care at very short notice, supporting Mum in her home and helping her with all her basic hygiene needs, encouraging her to mobilise and regain her confidence after a recent spell in hospital.
Help was also provided with cleaning, household chores and shopping,
and encouraging mum to eat regular meals.
Helping mum, helped and supported us.
Many thanks to everyone.

I contacted them to help support my husband who was struggling with serious mobility issues at home. Care was offered three times a week to support his needs. The carer and manager had visited to complete an assessment and provide a comprehensive care package. They have been brilliant and supported
both of us through a very difficult time. I would highly recommend this company without hesitation to anyone seeking help and support at home.

The service from Right at Home has always been excellent. The response to me requesting a service/support for my wife was both quick and empathetic. The introduction of staff to my wife was very gentle and she has taken very quickly to the staff supporting her. I have witnessed how gentle and client-focused
they have been, always treating my wife with the respect and dignity she required and overall it has been an excellent service.

I have been most encouraged by all the care received, not bodily so much as verbal encouragement and mainly housework and helping me walk etc. As I live alone and because my memory is so unreliable I have been able to talk over some everyday problems and each carer has been very understanding and most
helpful.

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.
