Bluebird Twickenham provides weekly care for my mother, and I cannot praise them highly enough. From the start, their professionalism, kindness, and reliability have been outstanding. The carers are compassionate, attentive, and always go above and beyond to ensure my mother is comfortable and well
cared for.


One of the things I appreciate most is the consistency of care. My mother has formed a great bond with her regular carers, which makes a real difference in her well-being. They treat her with dignity and respect, taking the time to understand her needs and preferences.


The office team is also fantastic - communication is excellent, and they are always responsive and accommodating. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my mother is in such capable and caring hands.


I highly recommend Bluebird Twickenham to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality care. Their dedication and kindness have truly made a difference in my mother's life.

Having been in the planning stage for over a year, and after 3 fruitful meetings with Bluebird, My Parents and Siblings took the plunge and introduced Bluebird carers on a 3 day a week 3 hours a day basis, in my Parents home, to help with Shopping, cleaning, cooking, bed making, paperwork, walks
to the local shops and general companionship . Great care was taken in both the pre planning stages and eventual introduction of the Carers Manager, and then the two Carers themselves who are now in weekly attendance.
Both Carers have exactly the attributes we discussed which are pertinent to our Parents specific needs, they have integrated within my Parents life very easily and with the minimum of fuss and stress.
Within a short period of time, both my Parents and Siblings are greatly benefitting from the Carers help and indeed look forward to their regular visits.
Special thanks to the care development lead, the lead customer care manager and our Carers for making the process stress and pain free!

Reply from Mel Fairchild, Home Manager at Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham

Most carers were very helpful and tried to do their best but two I found wanting.
I now have found my ideal carer and friend and I do not want anyone else unless it's necessary. The management know a couple of other ones I would be happy with if my carer was away.

We arranged care for our mother with Bluebird Care. From the first consultation to the pre-start meeting and now five weeks into the care, it's clear that Bluebird's staff genuinely care and understand her needs. They aim to keep a consistent carer contact who is brilliant and are proactive in providing
updates and advice. Their technology platforms allow us to monitor the results of the daily visits.
I highly recommend Bluebird. In fact, we now realise we should have started several months ago as we can see a significant and positive change in my mother's quality of life. Thank you to all the team!

Reply from Peter Slough, Director at Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham

What wonderful feedback, thank you. It is a real pleasure looking after your mother. Our teams are so passionate and caring and I will feedback to them. Our ethos is building relationships by allowing the care teams to spend genuine time with the people they look after and being transparent with our technology to give peace of mind to the family around them. We are so happy that we have had such a positive impact on the quality of your mother's life. All the very best, Peter.

I have used Bluebird Care over the previous five years, initially for my husband and now for myself. The care given has been with competence, kindness and consideration. The carers are obviously trained and with the right attitude for dealing with people's needs in their own homes. Very grateful. Contact
with the office staff has been equally good and helpful.

Thank you for your feedback on our home care service; it is our pleasure to support you to remain safe and happy in your Richmond home. I understand from your Customer Care Manager that your regular carers took their annual leave in the first several weeks of care beginning and this was disruptive for you. I am grateful that our Care Coordinators and your Customer Care Manager worked together with you to ensure continuity was swiftly restored and your Care Assistants - including those rostered in to cover your regular carers' holidays - are exceeding your expectations. Continuity of care is extremely important to our customers and our care colleagues; ensuring we make the perfect match is vital. I am delighted to read that this meticulous matching process is enhancing your every day - what a wonderful turn of phrase! - and I can assure you that our Bluebirds will continue to excel!

My partner was in the care of Bluebird Carers for over 4 years.
Living partly in Germany I needed to have an agency which took care of my partner during my absence.
I can highly recommend Bluebird Care.
The people involved with Bluebird Care are very competent, friendly and ever so helpful.
Over
the years a lot of extra duties needed to be organised within minutes and it was a great relief for me to know that my partner was in such good hands.
(Like him having a fall, visits to hospitals, general household duties or other events).
Every person who needs to be cared for will be assessed and an explicit care plan with relatives and carers will be arranged.
Regular check-ups are happening to guarantee that the care plan is up to date.
All carers who looked after my partner over the years were emphatic and enjoyed their job and the work with elderly people.
I can't thank them enough.
You have done a great job and sure will do in the future.
Thanks a million.

Thank you for sharing your experience of our home care service; it was our pleasure to support your partner to remain safe and happy in his home. It is our mission to support local Richmond borough residents with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or dementia to live independently with dignity - on their terms - in their own homes for as long as they desire. With several visits each day, I am delighted to read that you and your partner experienced our signature blend of professional care and kindness with every interaction.
Every person has a journey in care and this journey can change at a moment's notice. Your partner's dedicated Customer Care Manager was able to swiftly adapt his care plan over the years to ensure he received his ideal support, in line with his preferences and requirements. Delivering truly bespoke home care takes a high level of dedication, diligence and oversight; I am pleased to read that you found our service to meet and exceed your expectations!

The carers that currently come respond generously to the client's needs - sometimes the client won't cooperate, refusing to get up but the carers are always kind and humorous.

It is our pleasure to support you to stay safe and happy, living life on your terms, in your Hampton home. It's quite remarkable what a single visit each day can achieve. With a focus on personal care, ensuring medication is correctly and safely administered and preparing a delicious, healthy, mood-boosting morning meal, the difference a daily visit can make is extraordinary. You mention the adaptability of your support - to your Bluebirds, this is critical. One's care plan, preferences and goals can change monthly, weekly, daily... your care must be equally responsive and I am delighted to hear this is your experience. I have passed your kind words directly on to your care team; it has meant much to hear directly from you!

Bluebird Care carers make regular, weekly (Tuesday and Friday) visits to undertake services such as ironing and changing bedsheets. I have reduced mobility and carers provide general services to help with this as required.

Reply from Peter Slough, Director and Owner at Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham

It has been our pleasure to support you to remain happy, safe and independent in your Twickenham home.

You and your daughters can rest assured that your Bluebirds are there for you as and when you require further support. Your customer care manager tells me that you are a keen music and rugby enthusiast and an avid reader...

Peter

Peter Slough

Job Title: Managing Director and Owner

Joined: 2021

Peter’s first experience of arranging care was fraught and riddled with anxiety. “Finding care at short notice and trying to work with companies with no customer service ethos was frustrating. That’s when I thought there must be a better way!” Fast forward to 2023 and with over a decade of industry experience, Peter owns and manages three London-based Bluebird Care offices.

After university he worked for an NGO in New Delhi, using his law degree to change government policy and improve lives. This passion for transformative change permeates his operation of Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham. “We are changing lives for the better, providing local residents the opportunity to create their very best in-home support structure, delivered by Bluebirds. Requiring care and support can make one feel quite vulnerable. Our aim is to make choosing care an empowering moment, one that unlocks positive outcomes with the ultimate goal of remaining safe and happy at home.”

With his first foray into arranging care for a family member ending in disappointment, Peter notes, “Our most important ethos is to provide professional care that keeps each customer at the heart of their service… care that we would be happy for our own families to receive. Delivering a consistently compassionate, highly skilled, professional service is why two-thirds of our new customers come to us via personal recommendation.”

Peter and his young family enjoy exploring the borough with outings including Kew Gardens in the summer and ice skating at Hampton Court Palace in the winter.


Tim

Tim Rowland-Jones

Job Title: Managing Director and Owner

Joined: 2021

Tim’s wealth of experience in business management informs his oversight of Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham. Having helmed a multi-channel retail business before opening his first Bluebird Care office, Tim says, “I don’t think many people dream of running a home care company… I certainly didn’t! But when my grandfather’s dementia worsened I became acutely aware of the need for exceptional, empathetic care. This lived experience pushed me to open my first Bluebird Care office and set the high standards we’ve maintained for over a decade.”

Insisting his colleagues are trained beyond industry standard, each Care Assistant is encouraged to develop specialisms ranging from dementia and post-op rehabilitation to Parkinson’s, MND, complex care, challenging behaviour, palliative care and nutrition and hydration. “Our aim is to match each customer to their ideal Care Assistants by personality and expertise. Whilst our customers are at the centre of what we do, our Bluebirds are the heartbeat of the company - their kindness, compassion, and professionalism set us apart.”

As the owner of three Bluebird Care offices across London and the South West, Tim can’t imagine working in any other industry. “It’s an unbeatable feeling, being involved in a local business that changes lives. My father is now receiving live-in care which has been life-changing so I am passionate about providing this service to Richmond and Twickenham residents.”

Spotting the Richmond Park deer has become a favourite pastime of Tim’s young family, as has feeding the ducks on Barnes Pond.
