It provides companionship for my mother.
We only used Right at Home for one hour and 15 minutes a week so we don't use them very much. They are very consistent which is good.

The girl that comes to me is really.
They could get their act together, since early December I found out that they were giving my extra hour to someone else. Right at Home has not done anything about it.
February 06, 2020
I am a current client of this provider
The most helpful part of the care is that they are there for me. They take care of my food.
I like sticking with one caregiver. The aides have been leaving. Since I live on the top floor it is harder on the older caregivers.

I have someone who cleans. I have someone starting on Monday that will do my food shopping, but I haven't seen him yet.
December 19, 2019

They make my life easier by cleaning the bathroom and the floors. I would have the caregiver here every day if I could.
I like that someone always comes. On the occasion that our caregiver can't come, they send a fill in. They are always on time.
December 18, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
Because of my arthritis, I have a hard time, so they send a homemaker to help me.
I haven't had any problems. When I call, they are understanding with changes in dates.

My mother gets 24/7 care, so she couldn't have a life if she didn't have the care.

The nurse is consistently here each Thursday. The nurse will call me it they are running late.
They should get some more convenient staff. The caregivers kept changing, and I got different ones each week.
November 11, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
They could be more attentive to the patient's needs.
Some of the caregivers could be a little more with it in regards to their care.

They would give me two showers.
They were supposed to shower me from 9:30-10:30. They didn't come until a quarter till ten.
October 17, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
It is just my caregiver, and the relationship they have with my husband, that makes it positive

September 05, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
They clean for me, and they wash and fold my laundry. I was told that I couldn't wash my clothes, so they do it.
I didn't like it when they would send me a new caregiver every week. However, they're sending me the same caregiver now.
September 05, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
It makes a big impact because they help with the things I can't do.

I am a current client of this provider
My life is a lot better with their services. I can do a lot more with their help.
I had a problem with the Life Alert, and I cancelled it because the guy would call me on a test, and I wouldn't even have time to answer him before he called the fire department.
September 05, 2019

It frees up the family and kids to be sure that their parents are being taken care of.
I don't think they have enough people working for them, so when I want certain hours for the caretakers to come, it is limited.
Provider Response
Compassion is a trait we look for with our care givers. Keeping you home is what we specialize in. Thanks Estelle!
August 22, 2019
I am a past client of this provider

The agency was very good with me and took good care of me.

August 07, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
I am very pleased. They help me find ways to make it easier for me to reach things and get things out. They are always helping me. The caregiver today helped me with the cabinets. I can't reach high or low, so things have to be waist height.
I like that they call me to let me know if someone is going to be late or isn't coming. They make sure that someone can cover for a caregiver that can't make it, or sometimes, they allow the caregiver to make up the shift at another time if possible.
August 07, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
They made me able to go to work and relax and know that my mother was in good care.
I liked the availability they gave me when I needed it.
August 07, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
I think that they do not communicate well with her. If they get done with what they are supposed to do, they just sit and don't interact or have a conversation with her.
The turn over is ridiculous, and we are getting new people all the time.
Provider Response
We are glad to hear you are doing better Barbara! Helping you stay is your home is what we do. It's part of our core mission and it's nice to know we get that right.

They will sweep my floors. They help me with the shower.
The agency can improve the schedule. I have one caregiver that comes three times a day and another that comes on Friday. Sometimes, the office changes the schedule.
Provider Response
Mary, we certainly try to be of assistance with chores around the house. Our care givers work hard to ensure you're happy with their efforts and I want to thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Right at Home.

May 17, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
The majority of the people that come out are amazing. There are some people we don't invite back.
I like that when I call the office, there is always someone there to talk to. They know my name now because of how I often I call. The other company I use doesn't have anybody on the office on the weekend.
May 07, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
They tell me they can't dust, and if I get down, I can't get up. I would have liked them to send me a book of all the things they can and cannot do. I am not gonna ask someone to do something they can't do. I understand they can't lift things, but they need to try harder.
I have recommended them. My sister is in a situation, and her husband is in rehab. I told her about Right at Home, and recommend her. The caregiver is easy to talk to, but they have some rules that I am not to crazy about. That is how it is. They are good for me, but they need to be able to do more for my sister and others to use them.

They could have a little bit more training.
They always make sure someone is here for me.
December 04, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They have helped mainly with errands like shopping and cleaning.
The only problem I see is that the caregivers do not always speak English the best and it's hard for my parents to understand with the thick accents.
December 04, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
It's been a help for me through chemotherapy and radiation. They do the cleaning and the shopping, it really takes a lot of pressure off of me.

I am a current client of this provider
I don't like getting my mother cleaned up and showered, so it's wonderful for me. It's good for my mom to have so many people to talk to.
They are very honest. They call when they say they are going to call. There was a screw up with scheduling and they were very apologetic. One time, a caregiver hurt her back while taking care of my mother and they were honest with me and told me why she wasn't going to come back.
October 03, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
When I'm in pain, there's always someone there to help me out when I need a little help.
They could try to keep just one person instead of different people coming. I would be more comfortable with one person.
September 18, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
My caregiver helps vacuum and clean my floors, as well as changing the bed.
They are really good and everything, but I keep getting a different caregiver practically every week. Every time I go over everything that needs to be done, it's time for the caregiver to leave. It takes up too much time when I have to interview the new people and re-explain everything to those who come over.
September 18, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They relieve a burden off of me.
I like that they are nice.

I am a past client of this provider
The services were very much needed. There was one lady who was outstanding. She was an organizer, and she became my best friend. If things were picked up more, that would be better, because my back and arms hurt and they don't work as well.
Some of the girls were really great. They should have washed the floors and the bathroom floor. They should have helped me more with laundry because I have a bad back. They did help me with dishes and I was very thankful.
Provider Response
Thanks Jean. While we don’t always get the care team match 100% of the time, we work hard to make sure you are happy with your service. If not pleased with the service, just tell us. Please call the office and we will work to get it right!

It's been really good at times and really bad at times. Some of them don't have the ability to do what they're supposed to do, so I wish they didn't send them to me.
Right now it's not that good, but it's been really good before.
Provider Response
Ethel we are sorry to hear that you are not happy with our services. Please call the office and speak with our operations manager. We will work to get it right. We work to get consistency of care, but sometimes we need to work a bit more.

When they come in and ask me what I want them to do for me. For example, they'll go grocery shopping, do my laundry, or vacuum for me. I had an operation a few months back and couldn't do a lot of things, so they helped me a lot in regards to that.
Provider Response
We are very happy to assist Barbara! Our nurse case managers specialize in helping individuals through transitions from Hospital to Home!

I like the caregiver who comes to see me. She does everything I ask her. She doesn't make me nervous. I can lay down the whole time she's here.
Provider Response

I have to cancel a lot of my Right at Home appointments because I have more important doctor appointments at the same times. They don't understand why I have so many appointments when I have several doctors. It seems to be the same ongoing problem. Sometimes the caregivers don't clean everything and take too much time on the laundry instead.
Provider Response
We try hard to manage our schedule to suit our clients needs. We get that life sometimes interrupts, but our care team member also needs some advanced warning on shift changes. We feel that 24 hour notice of cancellation is a reasonable approach. We do try and have the caregivers prioritize their work and get to what’s most needed in the time allotted.

I have recommended them! Everything has been positive, from my caregivers to the office. The care really helps me. I am a person who doesn't usually let people help me, but I am comfortable with the caregiver and the office staff. I am doing much better than I ever could without them. They are fantastic. I can't say enough good about them.
Provider Response
Great news Marilyn! We are thrilled that our care givers were able to help you get over the apprehensiveness of in home care. Delivering quality care is in our DNA.

Here's my problem with them, the girls that come during the week, they don't call sometimes and don't show up. I need a phone call or some kind of coordination so I know if someone is coming. Sometimes a caregiver that was assigned is unassigned and that is disorienting. They take care of my bedding, washing, vacuuming, and I have a problem with bringing them up and down the stairs, and they clean in the kitchen as well. They will do things that my husband can't do anymore.
Provider Response
Vincent we are sorry you have had to deal with call outs. We strive hard to ensure care giver availability and that communication between the clients and our office team is robust. Certainly, if there is problem we try and notify all call outs and you can always call the office for assistance 24/7. Sometimes life happens for the care giver as well. Because of our size, we typically have the ability to swap in a care giver on the same day. I am glad to hear that they are helpful with the in home chores.

They are very accommodating with their times if I have a doctor appointment or something like that. They send me very nice staff, which is nice. I have had other companies that send caregivers who are just there for a paycheck, but these caregivers are just nice people.
Provider Response
Maria, we are glad to hear that our care givers are nice! We strive hard during our hiring process to get the right people. We think it is what defines us and what sets us apart from other in home care agencies.

For the last month or so, I couldn't be happier. I have this wonderful woman that comes. Her work is perfect, and she's just a great person. Everything is good. When you start something new it takes a while to become adjusted. For a few months, it was like I had somebody different every week. I was developing anxiety with a different stranger coming in every week. I have had this new one for two to three months, and she's fabulous. The managers at the office are very on top of things, polite, and considerate. They call to let me know exactly what is going on. When she leaves, I'm in heaven. My house is so clean! It's really improved things for me overall, physically, psychologically, and emotionally. It's given me energy to do new things instead of trying to just get by day to day. Every week I'm so afraid that it's going to stop. They're very steady, and it's been really perfect for me.

I've had Right at Home's caregivers for several years now. I used to work for several years with another home care agency, and Right at Home does not match that agency's standards.

My dad had been resistant to home companions in the past so I was very nervous how he would react to the Right at Home caregivers. They immediately put my worries to rest. They were very gentle and nonthreatening and were able to get my dad up in the morning and take him to his day program even when he didn't want to go. It meant a lot that the caregivers agreed to meet with me prior to their first visit to my dad and I liked reading the visit log the caretakers filled out each day.

Right-at-Home is the go-to-service if you need to get an elderly parent to a wedding! RAH was friendly, efficient, and caring. My 86 year old dad was brought from Southshore, MA to Southern NH to attend my son's wedding. The wheelchair van was driven by a wonderful personal care attendant. He was prompt, friendly, and respectful. I would highly recommend RAH for your family needs.

Before my husband passed away, I had in-home care for him from Right at Home. They're basically okay. We had them for a little more than a week. Once I hired them, they had somebody that day. There were four different caregivers but only one came at a time. They were assisting my husband with almost everything. They helped him dressed and bathed him. They're okay except for one of their caretakers. I found my husband asleep in his chair and this caretaker was asleep of all things in my husband's bed. I got very angry over that and I didn't pay for those hours. I was very disappointed with that person. However, the other three people were excellent. They had great attitude and they were very competent.
Provider Response
Right at Home South Shore takes great pride in the quality and competence of our caregivers. First, we begin the process of selecting less than 40% of the applicants that apply for employment. We seek candidates that not only have the skills and compassion to want to work with the elderly, but also, those candidates must have excellent communication skills because companionship and conversation is one of the most important benefits that we bring to our clients.
All of our caregivers complete a comprehensive orientation program and must pass a competency test before they are placed with a client. Each caregiver is closely supervised by a nurse to ensure that they are following the customized plan of care that is developed for each client's needs. We encourage constructive feedback from all of our clients about any complaints or observations noticed about one of our caregivers because we'll make sure our clients' care experience is just right.

Right at Home/Rockland took care of my father before he passed, and they were spectacular. So was he, and he deserved their warm, compassionate, competent service.

RAH has provided a continous level of superior, professional companionship service to our 82 year old Mother who is afflicted with several Alzheimers-related medical issues.

We started working with Right at Home about a month ago to provide services for my mother who has Alzheimer's and to provide support to my father (her primary caregiver) six days a week. So far we have had an excellent experience. The caregivers are supportive, caring people and have given my Dad a much deserved break as well as provide knowledgeable care for my Mom. I have also been impressed with the structures and processes put in place to insure that we get consistent, reliable care. Our relationship with Right at Home is still new but we couldn't be happier.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Right at Home. Right at home was originally hired just to help with medications for my 83 year old father as he was alone in his home in Massachusetts while his four daughters live in Florida. As anyone that has an elderly loved one that lives out of state knows..it's hard to worry from afar. It was a great relief to know that Right at Home was checking on him and keeping in touch with us in Florida. The nurse was trustworthy, caring, kind and just fantastic in every way. Right at Home spent much time on the phone with us to help choose and get him into a rehab facility after he was sick last year, which I always felt was above and beyond. Just recently I was up in Massachusetts with my father because he had developed an infection. My dad refused to go to the hospital and the nurse from Right at Home stayed with us for an extra 4 hours or so until we could finally get the help my father desperately needed at the hospital. Again above and beyond. The Right at Home nurse was like an angel during this stressful time. Five stars is not enough to rate how much Right at Home helped us with our dad.

I am the son of a client of Right at Home South Shore, and wanted to report that my frail 91 year-old father (and his children) have had a very positive experience with this agency for more than three years. Right at Home has been very accommodating to my father's changing needs, both for different levels of care and for the number of hours of care he receives each week.
My father has had some wonderful caregivers over the years who have gone above and beyond in providing care to him. In particular, it has been extremely helpful that Right at Home caregivers have been able to drive my father to shopping, medical appointments, and other activities. Especially on the South Shore, where transportation for elderly and disabled people can be very difficult (if not completely non-existent), this more than anything else has allowed my father to stay in his home and maintain the best quality of life possible. In response to the poster who reported that some of Right at Home's caregivers did not speak English, that has never been my experience in the many years we have used the agency.
Finally, I have been very impressed with Right at Home's careful attention to my father's medications. Like many older people, my father has a bewildering number and variety of medications, many of which change in dosage levels on a regular basis. I am often confused by exactly how much he is taking of a particular medication at any point in time, especially since each medication has more than one name. With a well-trained Right at Home RN filling my father's pill organizer once a week, and staying on top of the frequent dosage changes by being in contact with his physician, this is one aspect of my father's health that I no longer worry about. This has been a great relief.

As many children of elderly parents have experienced, our parents were always very independent, strong and healthy, and they wanted to stay that way. However, as the years passed and dimentia took hold of our father, we could see that he required more help than our mother was physically and emotionally capable of providing on a long-term, daily basis. We tried to patch the day to day needs together with siblings dropping by to help, but with work and families of our own, it just became too difficult. This is when we were blessed to have several people recommend Right At Home out of Rockland, Mass. This company has been an such an amazing help to our parents and our entire family. Our mother at first was very reluctant to accept that she needed outside help and only permitted us to start with someone to come in 2 mornings per week. In just a few short months, my mother requested that we ask to have the caregiver from Right at Home come three, then four, then five days per week, as our father's dimentia worsened. Our parents and our entire family grew to trust and love this caregiver, who has become an indispensible companion working tirelessly to provide a high level of in-home care. She is ALWAYS punctual, runs errands, brings our parents to appointments if we can't, keeps the house neat and clean, cooks wonderful and healthy meals, keeps our father on a consistent schedule, and most importantly, shows compassion, provides wonderful companionship and conversation, taking an interest in our parents' lives and their happiness and well-being. Especially for our Mom, who has mobility issues, and for whom many tasks and hobbies have been put aside to care for our Dad, it warms our hearts to see the Right at Home Caregiver asking our Mom what she wants to accomplish this week, and then helping her to execute the project our task, whether it is sending out holiday cards, wrapping birthday gifts for grandchildren, or carving out time to do her geneology research. Over time, as our father's dimentia has brought on further decline, we now have overnight care through Right at Home as well. Every caregiver who comes for the overnight shift is punctual, professional, ENGLISH- SPEAKING, caring, consistent and very capable to handle the nightly routine. Our mother can now get a prper night's rest without the worry of our father getting up during the night, wandering or falling down. The overnight caregivers help our Dad get changed and ready for bed, help them both to the bathroom during the night and set them up for the day before leaving the next morning. We can not emphasize enough how pleased we have been, and what a sense of relief we feel to know that our parents are being so well-cared for while staying in the home that they love. We would recommend Right-at-Home to anyone in the area who is considering in-home care for any reason or for any length of time. The management is extremely responsive, professional and caring and the emphasis that they place in the screening and education of their caregivers really shows. We know that our parents are safer and more rested with the help of Right at Home, and we, their children are much more at ease knowing that compassionate and professional caregivers are taking such wonderful care of our Mom and Dad.

I give the highest recommendation to this company. My 94 year old mother recently returned to her independent living residence following a severe case of pneumonia and several weeks at a rehab hospital. She was extremely weak,depressed and suffering severe anxiety. She could never have continued to live independently without the support of Right at Home for about a month. A Right of Home manager/nurse met us at the hospital to develop the plan, consulted with the social worker, called us to confirm the arrangements prior to start-up, and personally introduced each aid who would be providing service. All details of service were implemented as planned. Service quality was very high. All staff workers were US citizens who spoke English as a first language. They all developed close relationships with my mother. Gradually, we were able to taper down the services (which started as almost 24/7) as my mother regained her independent living skills.

Hello, I am a Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney to an elderly gentleman who I have know for over 30 years. He is like a member of my family. After "Ray" had a bad fall at the assisted living facility, I wanted Ray to have round-the-clock caregiving assistance, since he was at a high risk of having another fall. I have been very impressed with the Right at Home owners, as well as with the caregivers they have sent to assist Ray. The caregivers provide very detailed documentation in the daily notebook, so I can see at a glance how the shifts have been going. It is really a plus that the owner's wife is a nurse. She is very caring and very knowledgable about Ray's condition. My needs were very much in the respite category this time, however, I would like to continue using the RIght at Home Services for transporting Ray to doctor's appointments, etc. I would highly recommend Right at Home! It really will give you peace of mind, knowing that your loved one is receiving the best individualized care! Take good care, Wendy

My mother is a current client of Right at Home in Rockland. When my family and I decided earlier this year that she needed more assistance than we could provide, I explored assisted living, adult day centers and in home care to find the right solution for her. After a number of conversations with the owners of Right at Home regarding my mother's care and checking their references, we decided that keeping my mother at home with Right at Home was the best thing for her.
We have 5 caregivers helping my mother throughout the week, and all of them have been wonderful. When selecting caregivers I do think it's important that they can communicate effectively with the client, and the caregivers we have all speak English perfectly. More importantly the caregivers proactively communicate about my mother's needs. If they notice something might have changed for her, they'll call me or the owners of the agency with what they've noticed so that we can address anything that needs to be addressed.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease is not easy, and I've been so impressed with the sensitivity and creativity displayed by our caregivers. They clearly think about what would be fun for her and then plan some activities before they come to her house. They have my mother doing crafts, playing board games and baking with them. They've also greatly improved her diet, and they keep her engaged and participating in the daily activities of life"”they shop and cook together as well as doing the basic home chores. She is much healthier and happier since we've put the home care in place.
I have not had any issues with the bills that we've received"”they're accurate and easy to follow.
I believe that "offended" might have the agency confused with another one. My strongest endorsement comes directly from my mother when she says that there's not one of the caregivers she would trade. We're happy to have my mother at home with high quality care.

My mom Ellen can't say enough about Right at Home. The caregivers they send out are wonderful. They are always so attentive to her every need. Not only have I and my sister seen a great change in my mom's appearance but she all over attitude is wonderful. We really didn't think she would be so inviting of a stranger into her home. (At first she wasn't). We started with just two days a week now we are up to five. My mom thinks of her caregiver Sally as a God send. Sally is like a part of our family. She traveled with my mom to my sister's house out of town. That was the best; we were all together again. We haven't done that in years. I just want to let you know that Right at Home is the best.
Sincerely

I interviewed this provider
This agency was careless with our elderly mother.Often times sent non english speaking caregivers,always a high turnover of help. Billing practices a nightmare!
Provider Response
As the owner of this agency, i would like to respond to the negative comment above. I am sorry to learn that you had a bad experience caring for your mother at home, but I believe you may have my agency confused with someone else. The comment that none of my caregivers could speak English is just false because ALL of my caregivers are required to be fluent and clearly understood in English. In fact, 85% of my caregivers are born in the US because of the importance that we place on the ability of our caregivers to interact, converse and socialize with our clients. This philosophy has enabled my agency to become one of the most successful and respected agencies on the South Shore.
