Vanessa M | Daughter of Client"I have been very happy with the care Right at Home has extended to my 94 year old mother who is bed bound. The dedication and compassion of the staff has been much appreciated. All the staff are well trained and they feed back to me on any problems or issues with my mother's ongoing health.

What we mean by care for elders
Sometimes known as ‘domiciliary care’ we offer social care for elderly people, at home. Our specially trained and friendly team of CareGivers near Colchester provide support with a wide-range of tasks, including:
- Housework, such as cleaning, laundry and vacuuming
- Personal care, to maintain good hygiene
- Cooking meals, to your personal tastes

We maintain varied care options, tailored to make life easier for older people living independently. Our Colchester-based services are reliable, flexible and highly-personalised, prioritising our Clients’ interests above all else.
Beyond all of the practical support we offer for elderly people living at home, we offer invaluable companionship. All of our CareGivers are carefully selected to match our Clients’ personal interests. If it’s a stroll around the town or a trip to Colchester Zoo, we can find a CareGiver that suits you. This considered matching service allows for a true friendship to forge between Client and CareGiver.
We treat our Clients as part of our extended family and aim to become an indispensable part of their local support network. With regular visits, arranged at a time to suit you, we offer reliable and reassuring support for elderly people living at home.
Why is elderly care important?
Needing a little help is an inevitable part of getting older. Regardless of healthcare needs or specialist requirements, the structure of our lives change as we reach old age. Elderly care enables people to continue living as they choose, and where they choose, with extra support as and when they need it.
DID YOU KNOW? The UK population is ageing. By 2039, the number of people age 75 and over is expected to double from 5 million to nearly 10 million. Meaning there is going to be an even bigger demand for care.
By offering homecare for elderly people in their own home, we enable our Clients to maintain dignity and independence in familiar surroundings. Elder care is important for many, as a way of completing practical, day-to-day activities safely. For many older people across Colchester, it is often vital for combating loneliness.
For Clients with dementia, elderly care at home is vital for providing a calm, reassuring and familiar structure. For others, elder care offers comfort, knowing that there’s always someone you can rely on.
