Our CareGivers in Shefford
We choose our CareGivers carefully, not just for their skills, but for their warmth, patience, and ability to connect with others. Many have first-hand experience of caring for their own family members, which adds to the empathy and understanding they bring to their role.
We also offer thorough training and ongoing support to ensure every CareGiver is confident, capable, and up to date with best practices.
Just as important, we do our best to match CareGivers and Clients based on shared interests and personalities. For example, if someone enjoys crafts, we’ll try to pair them with a CareGiver who shares that hobby. It’s a small detail, but it can lead to shared smiles, engaging conversations, and a stronger relationship.
These connections are what turn tasks into meaningful support, and visits into trusted relationships.
Jean F | Daughter of Client"Right at Home have supported us in caring for our mum who is living with dementia. They have some great carers who took the time to get to know my mum, take her for walks with the dog, take her out for lunch or to visit a garden centre - all things Mum loves to do! The office management are brilliant! Very flexible and understanding as our needs are continuously changing. I would not hesitate to recommend Right at Home to anyone looking for a trusted partner to care for a relative."
Why Choose Right at Home Bedford
Families across Bedfordshire, including Shefford, choose us for our thoughtful and individual approach to care. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all support. Instead, we take the time to understand each person’s needs and tailor our care accordingly.
Here’s what makes our approach stand out:
- Local Understanding: Our team knows Shefford well, from the local shops to the best walking routes.
- Recognised Training: All CareGivers are trained by qualified professionals, and our training has been awarded for its quality.

- Continuity: We focus on consistent care so that your loved one sees familiar faces, helping build trust and comfort.
We also keep families informed every step of the way, so you always know how your loved one is doing.
Keeping Active in Your Community
Staying active and socially engaged is just as important as receiving practical support. That’s why our CareGivers encourage Clients to enjoy hobbies, outings, and time in the local community whenever possible.
In and around Shefford, there are plenty of opportunities for this. Walks around Stanford Wood or visits to Rowney Warren are great for those who enjoy the outdoors. For quieter days, there are cafés and garden centres nearby where Clients can relax with a hot drink or enjoy some gentle browsing.
Some Clients enjoy a trip into nearby towns such as Hitchin or Biggleswade for shopping, or even a short visit to a local market or community group. Others may prefer spending time at home—listening to music, doing crosswords, or having a chat over lunch.
Whatever makes the day feel meaningful, our CareGivers are here to help make it happen.
What Are the Benefits of Domiciliary Care?
Choosing care for a loved one is a significant and emotional decision. Many families wonder what type of care would be best—and whether homecare is the right path.
For many, being able to stay at home is a great comfort. Familiar surroundings, routines, and the presence of cherished belongings can make a big difference to someone’s wellbeing. Being at home also means staying close to loved ones, neighbours, and the local community.
Homecare promotes independence. It supports people to live life as they choose—whether that means sticking to a morning routine, visiting a local club, or simply enjoying time in the garden. And because the care is one-to-one, it’s highly personalised.
Family involvement remains central too. Loved ones can stay engaged in the care plan, ask questions, and receive regular updates. This shared approach to care often brings relief and comfort to families who can’t be there every day.
