Welcome to Homecare Matters: The Care Podcast
We’re excited to introduce “Homecare Matters – The Podcast”, brought to you by Right at Home Guildford & Farnham. We’re excited to launch this new initiative as we step into a more digital world and create a space where real conversations about home care can be shared openly, honestly, and with care.
This podcast is designed to be a welcoming and informative space for everyone. Whether you are a family member exploring care options, a professional working in the sector, or simply someone interested in learning more about home care , we’re glad you’re here. Across each episode, we’ll explore the many different aspects of care at home, from what it takes to build a compassionate care team and recruit the right people, to the vital role services like befriending play in reducing loneliness and supporting wellbeing.
We’ll also share practical advice for family Carers, alongside insights into the full range of services we provide across Guildford and Farnham. Along the way, we’ll be joined by special guests including industry experts, dedicated care professionals, and families who can share their lived experiences and perspectives. Most importantly, this is not just our conversation, it’s yours too. We want to hear your thoughts, your questions, and the topics that matter most to you. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
Episode One: What To Expect
In our very first episode of Homecare Matters, we’re pleased to introduce you to the people behind Right at Home Guildford & Farnham. Join our Managing Director and Founder, Alastair Shanks, alongside Deputy Managing Director, Rhys, as they open up about the story behind our service and what drives their passion for high-quality home care .
Throughout the episode, they explore and answer a wide range of questions about who we are, what we do, and how we support people in our local community. From our specialist dementia care services to their own personal journeys and experiences within the health and social care sector, this episode offers a genuine insight into the heart of our organisation.
Whether you’re exploring care options for a loved one or simply curious about the sector, this episode sets the tone for open, honest conversations that put people first and help answer the questions that matter most to you.
“I am really excited about our new podcast. This has been something that has been in the pipeline for a while, so seeing it finally come to fruition is amazing. The idea behind the podcast is to highlight who we are and how we can help, and to step into the podcast world, as we found there isn’t much out there in the health and social care sector. We are focused on supporting our community, so being able to listen on the go or take 20 minutes with a loved one to watch and meet the faces behind our service is a really positive new initiative for us.”
