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.

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! Thank you again for sharing your experience with the team.

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!

What kind and generous words to describe our service... thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! 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! It has been our honour to provide life-enhancing care to Richmond Borough residents for the past sixteen years.

It has been our pleasure to support you to remain happy, safe and independent in your Twickenham home. Each person's journey in care is as individual as they are; a few visits a week to support you in keeping your home at its customary high standard also allows us to boost and safeguard your mental and physical well-being. 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... I gather we have matched you with like-minded care assistants who share your passions, which I am delighted to see! Remaining in the comfort of your own home is of the utmost importance to you; your Bluebirds are here to help make this happen.

Thank you so much for your kind words; it is a joy to support your mother to remain safe, happy, and independent in her home. Our service puts a sharp focus on retaining independence and dignity. With tiered support ranging from her care assistants to our supervisors and senior carers to her dedicated customer care manager, your mum and your family should receive a robust, safe, professional service throughout your care journey. It sounds like our customer/carer matching process has been a smash hit as your mum's feedback and our carer's feedback have been sparkling! Our Richmond & Twickenham Bluebirds care for several customers in their late 90's... the goal is invariably to support them to their 100th birthday and beyond! On behalf of your mum's team, it is our honour to support her.

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’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.
