About Right at Home and South Ribble
We at Right at Home Preston and South Ribble are proud to provide compassionate home care across Preston and the surrounding communities of South Ribble, supporting people to live safely and comfortably in the place they know best: their own home. Operating throughout Preston and the wider PR postcode area of Lancashire, our team travels to residents across towns and villages in the North West, bringing personalised support directly to the doorstep. Because care takes place in each individual's home, every visit is shaped around familiar surroundings, cherished belongings, and the daily routines that make a house feel like home. Whether someone lives in a family property, a bungalow, a flat, or sheltered accommodation, we adapt to the environment rather than asking the person to adapt to us. Our specialisms cover a broad spectrum of needs, allowing us to walk alongside people at many different stages of life. We provide older person care for those who value a little extra help to maintain their independence, and dedicated dementia care that focuses on gentle reassurance, consistency, and preserving dignity as memory changes. For adults living with a physical disability, we offer practical, respectful assistance with mobility, personal care, and daily tasks, whilst our experience supporting people with visual or hearing impairment means we take extra care with communication, orientation, and creating a calm, predictable environment. We also support younger adults whose circumstances mean they benefit from tailored care at home, recognising that every age brings its own goals and aspirations. In practice, this means families can expect thoughtful, well matched care workers who take time to understand the person behind the care plan. From companionship visits and help with medication to more comprehensive daily support, our aim is always to enhance quality of life, ease worry for loved ones, and offer a reliable presence that families can trust. We know that inviting a care team into a family member's home is a significant decision, and we take that responsibility seriously. Right at Home Preston and South Ribble is rated Good overall by the Care Quality Commission, with a Good rating across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This consistent standard across every area reflects a culture in which safety, kindness, responsiveness, and strong leadership work together to shape the everyday experience of the people we support. If you are exploring home care options for a parent, partner, or loved one in Preston or South Ribble, we warmly invite you to reach out. We are here to listen, answer your questions, and help you find a way forward that feels right for your family.
