Hi everyone, I’m Richard Burgess, the Managing Director of Right at Home East Lancs & Ribble Valley, and Calderdale.

I’ve been proud to call Calderdale home for over 20 years, and I feel incredibly fortunate to make a positive difference in our community every single day. My career background is in hospitality and the service industry, where I learned the importance of care, dedication, and going the extra mile — qualities I now bring into the world of homecare.

This role is also very personal to me. My late father lived with Alzheimer’s, and through that experience I became a recognised Dementia Friend. I’m now working towards becoming a Dementia Champion, so I can continue to build my understanding and help other families facing similar challenges.

Having seen the impact our work makes in Calderdale, I’m proud to now extend these same values, standards, and commitment to East Lancs & Ribble Valley — ensuring more people in our communities receive the outstanding care they deserve.

For me, Right at Home is about more than just providing care — it’s about building trust, connection, and improving lives in the place we call home.
