Bluebird Care were amazing and all their staff were such lovely, kind people, during a really difficult time for my family. My father had late onset dementia and needed support with everything which they provided in such a respectful way. After a chest infection he then passed away very suddenly. The
staff were so supportive, understanding and genuinely cared.

Reply from Holly Starnes, Digital Marketing Lead at Bluebird Care Epsom, Kingston & Sutton

Bluebird care has some lovely carers. However please be aware that if the care user needs to go in to hospital Bluebird will charge you full price for every visit they would have done for a whole month (even though they are not actually doing any of these visits). I also found that the carers would
not always stay for the full time of the visit, sometimes much less than the half an hour. Communication could also be better between the office, the carers and the user. I really rated many of the carers who looked after my Dad, but I would not recommend Bluebird Care Epsom for the reasons I have outlined.

Reply from Holly Starnes, Digital Marketing Assistant at Bluebird Care Epsom, Kingston & Sutton

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your kind words about our care experts and are pleased to hear that many of them made a positive impact while looking after your father. We are sorry to hear about your concerns, we understand how important consistency is, and we apologise if we fell short in these areas. Our priority is to always provide the highest standard of care, and your feedback will help us address these issues internally. Thank you again for your feedback and for allowing us to care for your father!

I was initially very nervous about handing over certain areas of my mum's care as she lives with me and up to then I was her main carer. However, as soon as I spoke and met with the Management Team at Bluebirds I could feel myself feeling confident that they knew exactly what our needs were.
All Bluebird's
staff are extremely respectful and caring towards my mum and engage with her which is wonderful as she has dementia and she responds well.
If I ever need to speak to the Management Team I have always found them helpful and friendly. I look forward to seeing our wonderful carers each morning and they have definitely eased some of the pressure on me and I know my mum is happy too.

Overall the carers have been very helpful and always professional and kind.
Recently the same carer has been scheduled daily, sometimes 6 to 7 days continuously, which is not very helpful to me.
Alternating 2-3 carers will be helpful to me, as when one is away others will know my needs.
I have been
having Bluebird carers since January 2023 for 1 hour in the mornings and recently, since 02/11/2023 reduced to half an hour as I’m confident of doing more things myself. Thanks to the carers.

You were needed at very short notice and we very much appreciated the speed with which you put the care into place.
All the carers were very helpful and also very interesting to talk to.
You were only needed for two weeks so it was rather irksome having to have you for four! (Although we appreciate
why your minimum contract is for four weeks).
One serious discrepancy between the time we were given and the time the carer was given (3/4 hours).

All the carers are kind and caring. However it is difficult for them as I often have someone who hasn't seen to me previously and it takes time for them to know my routine. Even though I may have received a schedule, the time and person who arrives is frequently different from the schedule. Only very
occasionally am I notified of the change.

Review from Gordon S (Husband of Client) published on 25 July 2023
Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

This is our first use of home care.
My wife and I have been very pleased with the experience. We have a carer for one hour each morning to give my wife a wash and get her downstairs.
The carers usually have a lively and friendly approach. I can hear them laughing and joking and comparing family news.
Two
disadvantages have emerged.
1. Uncertainty about when the carer will come is a disadvantage. I wake my wife at 08.30 am, get her hearing aids in, prepare her clothes, and leave her waiting. The waiting time can range from 30 minutes to over an hour. We had one bad experience when the carer arrived at 08.10 am; the shock of this disoriented my wife and distressed her.


2. The Bluebird management have promised to let us have the weekly schedule of carers and arrival times but this has not so far worked out well.

Generally very good. We could not manage without Bluebird. I live far away from my Godmum and she has no relations, so her carers are very important. It must be very hard to be a full-time live-in carer!

Bluebird Care Agency employ some very kind, efficient and experienced care workers. They have been an immense help to my father and greatly supported his recovery. However, sadly the efficiency of the schedule is very poor. I have needed to phone in many times about this. The poor scheduling has given
my father a lot of undue stress and upset. This needs serious and urgent assessment.
