Peter Flannery opened Right at Home Colchester and District in January 2016 having made the decision that homecare was a very rewarding way to build a family business and work within the local community, making a positive difference to people’s lives every day.
Peter is married to Katy and together they have three grown up children, Ben, Joe and Charlotte. Peter and Katy have lived in the Colchester/Dedham Vale area since 1990.
Peter began his management career in the brewing industry working with Grand Metropolitan, Courage and Bass before moving to the staffing industry in 1998, where he operated at board level for more than 14 years running market-leading staffing businesses in the education sector.
Following his father being diagnosed with Dementia, Peter realised that he could apply his background and experience to the local provision of high quality homecare services.
“High quality service has always been essential to me throughout my career and my passion for being the best at providing that service is what drives me every day, ” Peter explains, “and nowhere is that more poignant than in homecare provision. I am determined that our team provides the best quality care at home in Colchester and the surrounding district.
“It’s the quality of our people that really make the difference and we put a lot of effort into selecting the highest quality CareGivers, investing in their continuous professional development, providing them with a great environment to work in and ensuring the we match their personality and skills closely to our clients’ needs.”
Peter is particularly passionate about the areas of Stroke support and Dementia and is a Dementia Champion. His mother suffered a serious stroke at the age of 28 and he has in-depth personal experience of dealing with the unique challenges of caring for and living with stroke survivors.
Peter says: “It is hugely rewarding to be able to come to work knowing that we make a real difference to people’s lives every day and it is a privilege to work with such a committed team of CareGivers and our fantastic clients and their families.
“Other key members of the Right at Home team are Gina Emmins, our highly experienced Registered Manager and Catherine Porter, our Training and Compliance Manager. We are all looking forward to helping you, your family and friends with whatever your needs or queries may be.”
