Temporary Care

Judith had always been active. She went for long runs years before jogging was popular. She had even hiked part of the Three Peaks. And she still chased her toddler grandson around the living room whenever her daughter and son-in-law were in town. But Judith started to have hip pain that worsened with time. Her doctor suggested a hip replacement and Judith didn’t hesitate. However, there was no one within driving distance who was able to help her keep up with the house during her recovery. She and her daughter consulted with Right at Home, deciding to have a carer come to the house for the first three weeks after Hattie’s surgery. The procedure went off without a hitch and after a few weeks, Judith was back on her feet and felt decades younger.

While she was recovering, Right at Home provided numerous companionship and housekeeping services to Judith, including:

Transportation
Bringing in newspaper/mail
Companionship
Light housekeeping
Grocery shopping
Cooking
Washing dishes
Laundry services
Running errands
Range of motion exercises

"Working for Right at Home is very rewarding. I get to look after vulnerable people who need care and I've made strong bonds with the clients I work with regularly, which makes the job even more enjoyable. They have a great team who are there to support me whenever I need it and I feel that they really want to help me fulfill my potential as a carer."

"This is the first time I have needed care and I was unsure what to expect. Thank goodness I chose Right at Home. Gail is an excellent ambassador for the firm - pleasant, polite and professional at all times. Gemma, to me, is the epitome of what a carer should be. She is a very hard worker and always has a smile on her face."

"This was my first job in care and I was nervous about the responsibility it involved before I started, but Right at Home gave me such good training and my Registered Manager is always at the end of the phone if I need help or advice, or just a bit of reassurance. I've recently also finished my NVQ and had specialist training in dementia, which has really helped me to understand my clients' needs."
