Mrs C | Client""Both my personal carer and the care company have been more than excellent. They all go that extra mile for me and make me feel very warm, secure and in good hands. I am truly delighted with the experience. My personal carer is so kind and caring and knowledgeable. She helps me out in oh so many ways. I don't know how to survive without her. Nothing is too much for her and for the company (Right at Home) that she works for. All this and she makes me laugh. She keeps me happy, that is a godsend. I miss her so when she is not here. The care and support and the management are more than first-class!""
