Overall Experience

I have been asked to review Bluebird due to their CQC inspection coming up. They have some good carers, my father enjoyed the company, and I feel the carers enjoyed his. The reason for my rating was sadly the carers at the time felt my father needed an ambulance and I was not informed. (I only noticed

when I saw the ambulance appear at the ring doorbell). He sadly passed away an hour later, it turns out that they was calling his mobile rather than myself as the next of kin. So I never had the time to get there and be by his side.

Reply from Lucy McCormack, Director at Bluebird Care Mid Essex

We are deeply sorry for your loss and sincerely regret that you were not informed in time to be with your father. We understand how distressing this must have been and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.At Bluebird, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care, and we take your concerns very seriously. While we are pleased to hear that your father enjoyed the company of our carers, we recognize that communication in urgent situations is critical. We are reviewing our processes to ensure that next of kin are always contacted promptly and correctly in such circumstances.Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service, and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience. If you would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Overall Experience

Would recommend Bluebird Care as a caring and helpful company. We initially started with them to support my dad's last days but they stayed on and have been a great help to my mum and she enjoys their company. We have had to increase the care my mum receives over the last few months and Bluebird have

been able to help us at short notice, which has made all the difference. We find the office staff very helpful with any queries and set our minds at rest. We are now moving to live-in care and are hoping this will work as well.

Bluebird Care have provided outstanding care, from domiciliary to live in. They have always been kind, considerate and efficient in their delivery of my aunt's care needs and wishes. Bluebird remained our constant until my aunt sadly passed away recently. I would highly recommend Bluebird if you are

looking for a bespoke care package that considers your loved one and their families.

We are very happy with our lovely live in carer. She cares for our mum to the highest standards, mum loves her and so do we! She's very kind, cooks homemade food for mum and chats, they do puzzles together and this gives us peace of mind, knowing mum is safe and well cared for.

As always, Bluebird Care has been reliable, competent and efficient. As a sole carer, I place great value on their support. Their communications are good which is of special note.
The care attendants who come make my wife happy. As she is an advanced Alzheimer's patient, this is very important and

no mean feat!

Overall Experience

Our 16-year-old son's carer has been with us for nearly a year now. As our son is severely disabled, he is deaf/blind, wheelchair-bound, has severe dystonia and is peg fed, we needed someone who would become part of our family. His carer is brilliant with him, he definitely knows when she arrives, they

have a happy, rewarding time together. She has got to know him so well and meets all his personal, medical and emotional needs. We would not manage ourselves without her and she has become part of our family. She is a happy, funny lady who we have all bonded with.

Reply from Abby Black, Registered Care Manager at Bluebird Care Braintree and Uttlesford

All the carers are excellent.
When the times are changed, could the staff let us know? (Where possible). They do sometimes but by no means always.
It really would be helpful if they could.

Whilst I carry out the majority of Dad's care, Bluebird carries out a morning care visit to get Dad up and hoisted into the chair.
They are very reliable and give me peace of mind to know that I can, and have called on them at short notice, to cover for me.
The carers are very pleasant and sociable.

Overall Experience

I realise that we are all individuals and that we all have different needs. Therefore I can only offer my opinion on the way in which I have been cared for. I know that I like everything neat and tidy and this may appear pedantic. But this is part of my personality. I personally think Bluebird offers

a wide scope of care for their clients. They try to be accommodating to them as well as to their care staff. I personally appreciate the way in which they truly match the personalities of the clients and the carers together as I realise human personalities greatly differ. The clients and carers are of major importance to the staff who always follow through with any concerns that may arise. Caring in the community is such a specialist vocation and there is so much for the carers to learn about for example Dementia, Parkinsons', Alzheimer's, bodily functions etc. And this alongside kindness patience and sensitivity. Well done Bluebird.

Bluebirds were originally employed to oversee my father though at the time independent he had a couple of falls. This all worked very well.
My father is now bed-bound and I do feel Bluebird was not as proactive as I would have liked with the change of circumstances, bearing in mind it was all new to

us.
My father is comfortable and we have had the same carers for the last 3 years who have my father's interests at heart.

Reply from Lucy McCormack, Manager at Bluebird Care Essex West

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Bluebird Care for your father's needs. We're glad to hear that he is comfortable and that our carers have been dedicated to his well-being over the past three years. We appreciate your input regarding the transition to his current care needs and will strive to continue our ongoing conversations to support these transitions. Your comments help us enhance our services.

The day-to-day management and staff support is excellent. The carers are very sensitive to my needs and deliver all the services I require at home. The only issue was the charges were increased substantially during Covid and subsequently annually, and I feel the fees are expensive for people on a fixed

income.

Reply from Lucy McCormack, Manager at Bluebird Care Essex West

Thank you for your positive feedback about our day-to-day management and staff support. We are delighted to hear that our carers have been sensitive to your needs and provide excellent service. Regarding the fees, we keep increases in line with inflation. We understand your concerns about costs, especially for those on a fixed income, and appreciate your understanding during the challenging Covid period where our costs to provide care increased. Your feedback is important to us.

Overall Experience

Our experience with Bluebird goes back many years and the support and care we have received over that time has always been of a very high standard. Our situation recently changed quite suddenly and we needed a much higher level of care quite urgently. The support from Bluebird has been excellent as

they worked quickly with us to find a solution for our new circumstances. They listened to our wishes and helped us problem solve, coming up with various solutions that we have been able to try in order to find what works best. As a family we feel that our wishes have been listened to and we have been treated with compassion and understanding. All queries have been responded to promptly - with great patience - and any concerns have been followed up and dealt with quickly. We are very grateful for all the help and support.

Thank you so much for looking after my mum so beautifully, using your services always helps me relax and have an enjoyable week away knowing that I'm leaving my mum in good hands.
It was lovely meeting with a staff member before my holiday and my mum enjoyed answering her questions so that her care

plan could be designed especially for her.
My mum said that everyone that came in to look after her was lovely and couldn't do enough for her and made her beautifully cut sandwiches for her lunch and the only downside was the fact that the time went far too quickly and an hour at a time was not long enough! So next time I will have to look at extending her sessions with you! Thank you again!
