Right at Home Bishop’s Waltham opens to provide homecare services and jobs for local people

The office had its grand opening in July, welcoming Flick Drummond, MP for Meon Valley to the event

Homecare provider Right at Home Mid Hampshire opened a second office in Bishop’s Waltham to extend its highly personalised care services for the elderly and adults living with disabilities in the area. The expansion will also see around 50 new jobs created in the Bishop’s Waltham area for local people.

Managing director Nick Turner and his workforce have built a second team of compassionate, committed, and highly trained care professionals to deliver everything from personal care and companionship to 24-hour or live-in care within people’s own homes.

Nick says: “It’s amazing for us to have the opportunity to open an office in Bishop’s Waltham. We have a number of clients in the area, but we have also been painfully aware that there is not yet enough care provision locally. It’s very important to us that every person should be able to remain in their own homes for as long as they wish, and we’re honestly delighted to undertake this new project with enormous enthusiasm and compassion.”

The Bishop’s Waltham office is the second in Nick’s portfolio and will be fully supported by the CQC-rated ‘Outstanding’ parent business Right at Home Mid Hampshire. Nick has successfully run Right at Home Mid Hampshire for eight years and now wants to support more people in the area, as so there is a growing demand for care services, with 17 per cent of the local population at retirement age.

Right at Home Mid Hampshire prides itself on investing in its staff, ensuring that all caregivers receive the National Living Wage. Recently, the business joined Right at Home’s national effort to address the issue of rising fuel costs by compensating workers with enhanced pay and an increased mileage rate.

Right at Home CEO Lucy Campbell, welcomed the expansion saying: “We are delighted to see the Mid Hampshire office expanding as they progress on their mission to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and support to as many clients as possible. This is testament to the incredible hard work and dedication shown by Nick and his team, particularly in recent years. Importantly, this will enable Right at Home to make a difference in more clients’ lives and allow more people in the area to live independently for longer.”
