Roger | Client"I have been using Right at Home for over a year now and I’m very pleased. At the start of our relationship they took the time to understand my needs and how best to meet them. Since then they’ve met those needs consistently and professionally. I’m always fully introduced to a new carer and all the carers turn up on time, knowing what they need to do. As my care needs increase, Right at Home have increased their provision accordingly and (so far, touch wood) nothing has been too difficult for them. "
