My sister is provided with consistently excellent care by her carer and the backup that is provided by all the staff at Bluebird Care Cheshire West and Flintshire. I would highly recommend Bluebird for providing care services to anybody in need of care services.

I have had home care with Bluebird Care Cheshire West & Flintshire since September 2024. I was in a black hole and had a bad 2 weeks with my last service provider so I told them not to come to my house again, put another way I sacked them. Then I had a chat with Bluebird and I have not looked back.
I had nothing to look forward to but now I look forward to my carers coming every morning 7 days a week, nothing is too much trouble for them, they never ever rush me, we do it at my pace as I have heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis and COPD. I struggle with anxiety and depression, so almost everything I do now is a struggle.
But along came my angels without wings. I have my personal care creams and deodorants applied. Then downstairs and they make me a brew just as I like it. And then we have a good chat put the world to right. Nothing is too much trouble for these angels coming in and looking after my needs, but now I couldn't do without them. I would highly recommend Bluebird for the care I receive.
Thank you.

We have been delighted with the care Mum has received over the last year. Bluebird Carers are all very compassionate and skilled. They treat our mum with patience and respect, even when her behaviour can be quite challenging. They often go "the extra mile".
The management team in Chester are super.
They
are responsive and easy to contact. There is a very high level of professionalism.
We feel that Bluebird Care give the very best level of homecare and we have recommended their services, and friends and family in other parts of the country now use BB Care.
Thank you for all you do.

My parents and I have been very impressed with the service provided by Bluebird care. I asked Bluebird to meet my parents to explain what support could be provided. A staff member gave me an in depth report of the visit giving an account of how my parents responded and what could be arranged moving
forward. Since we assigned Bluebird to a weekly visit they have done excellent work supporting my dad who has dementia and assisting my mother. We would highly recommend their services to friends and family.

Punctual and polite. They always make you feel at ease when with you, may have only been with them for a month or so, so would promote their services to other people who might need help in future for their care.

We have been really pleased with the care provided by Bluebird Care. After several falls it was becoming increasingly difficult for our father to live at home on his own since none of us live in the immediate area. We had a live-in carer provided by Bluebird for two weeks which my father really enjoyed
in the end (he was a bit sceptical in the beginning!), he made progress getting back on his feet and felt much safer having someone around 24/7. After the live-in care period finished, we have had three visits per day organised by Bluebird. I can always see on an app what time visits are booked for, what is planned and what has been done which is extremely helpful. The carers are all lovely and the staff in the office are incredibly kind and helpful, just a phone call or email away and they always write back immediately if there are questions or queries. It's very easy to adapt the care schedule. I thoroughly recommend Bluebird.

Reply from Rebecca Zartarian, Director at Bluebird Care Cheshire West & Flintshire

Thank you for taking the time to complete this fantastic review. We are pleased you have experienced such quality care from all of our team, especially when you live so far away! We will continue to care for your father, keep regular communication with you all and amend his care plan according to his needs. Thanks again for spending the time to complete this review.

I cannot commend Bluebird Care agency enough, I know for a fact that Mum would not be in her own home now if it wasn’t for all the love and fabulous care Mum has received. This stems from management to carers. They look after Mum like they would their own mum and as a nurse myself, I know this is hard
to come by. Even my mum’s little dog is loved and looked after care by the lovely care staff. I can’t thank Bluebird enough, keep doing what you are doing! You are all amazing.

I can highly recommend Bluebird Care. They have been outstanding looking after our mum. They are kind, thorough, compassionate and they look after our mum so well when we can’t be there for her. I, myself, deal with a lot of care companies in my own role and I have to say that Bluebird Care is the best
that I have ever dealt with.
They go above and beyond. We’ve had some difficulties with Mum and they have been utterly amazing, both carers and management alike and I cannot praise their kindness and professionalism enough.
If you need someone to be there for your loved one, these are the people to turn to.
A million thank yous to you all.

My late father, who passed away in February, had the services of Bluebird Care for several years. We got to know individual carers very well which is a great bonus, particularly to elderly people in terms of reassurance and familiarity. Carers were always kind, considerate, empathetic and reliable.
My mother continues to have Bluebird 'sitters' several times a week and she enjoys chatting to them. They show an interest in each client, which is so important. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for us. I know that all the carers were very fond of your father and really cared for him over the years. We are pleased to continue to support your mum and are glad you both appreciate the time. Best wishes.

Mum has two live-in carers via Bluebird Care Cheshire West & Flintshire who work on a rota basis.
We have been using Bluebird Care since January 2023 and the company has now sourced two regular, reliable and kind carers.
Each of the two carers brings their own personality to their caring role and
I feel that I can trust each of them completely with the safety and well-being of Mum which in turn gives me freedom to continue with my own job and daily activities.
Mum has dementia however both carers ensure Mum never feels alone and by doing activities and engaging in natural conversation with her, I feel this has had a positive impact on Mum’s overall mental well-being.
On occasions when I’ve had any queries about care in general terms, I would say that Bluebird Care has listened and responded appropriately and in a timely manner.

Bluebird Care Cheshire has made a difficult time easier. They have given me peace of mind by providing live-in carers for an elderly aunt. They were very efficient and professional, handling all situations with care and concern for their client. If I needed to contact them at any time someone was always
available to offer guidance and support.
My aunt was able to remain in her own home, with excellent care. The carers were always approachable and made contact on a very regular basis to discuss their client's needs with me. I am lucky to have found an agency that gave a first-class service from start to finish. I would recommend them to others in a similar situation who need to provide extra help and support for loved ones in their own homes.

Reply from Rebecca Zartarian, Director at Bluebird Care Cheshire West & Flintshire

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I will share your comments with the team that supported your aunt; they will really appreciate your kind words. As Director, it makes me so proud to know that families have been pleased with the high standard of service we offer. We wish you and your family well. Thank you again.

We as a family employed Bluebird Care Cheshire West & Flintshire on a live-in care package lasting for nearly three years. My father required various degrees of care which the Bluebird staff altered to suit as required on short notice during the pandemic, sometimes involving total suspension of service
while hospital visits occurred. The carers were all well-trained, professional, caring and respectful of my father's needs.
During the final year dementia, memory loss and mobility problems increased which the carers adapted to brilliantly, which gave me confidence the team were in control and with that in mind I would totally recommend the Bluebird team to anyone in a similar situation. I would like to thank everyone involved and keep up the good work.

What a lovely review, thank you Alan. It was an absolute pleasure caring for your father over the years.
