My father suffered dementia and had a terminal illness. I found Bluebird Care (South Tyneside)to be both compassionate and extremely understanding. Their management was flexible and responsive. Communication was excellent between ourselves and the local management.

I am completing this as my mam has macular degeneration and unable to complete forms. This is her opinion - "she is happy with the care that is provided and the girls all do what she asks". I appreciated the letter saying improvements were going to be implemented, as the visit planning doesn't always
reach the carer at the correct or appropriate time.

Bluebird Care South Tyneside was recommended to me to support an elderly neighbour. I cannot praise the entire team for their help and support that we have received. They are not only professional in what they do but are caring in everything they do. The team leader has been there to support us 100%.
They are a true team of angels. Thank you.

I have had Bluebird care looking after my mother since February 2016. This care company is the best company I have had. Every care assistant that visits are very professional, very respectful and supportive. All these girls go that extra mile for not only my mother who they support, they also offer
to help me and I find that amazing. I cannot say enough about how these girls have changed my mother's life and made mine a better place to be. The care given is high quality at all times.

Bluebird Care do anything I ask them to do, they cook my meals and always have time to have a chat with me which I really enjoy. My carer always makes sure my appointments are booked in with the office. She also makes sure everything is written into my diary so this helps to keep me organised, they
are a first class service.

They are very good, always do as much as they can to help me. They go above and I get good support, even at short notice. They help me to ensure I get shopping or prescription pick-ups. No problems at all with Bluebird, they are very good. I would highly recommend their services.

My mother was very concerned about having care at home. Once Bluebird started my mother was very happy with all the girls. The girls are very professional and highly respectful. They didn't only just care for my Mother, they also looked after the home. Bluebird Care is a fantastic company. I connected
with them from the moment I met the girls.

Bluebird Care staff are always friendly, polite and respectful. Happy to do whatever my needs are during their visit, be that help with meals, a bit of housework or simply sit and chat. If ever someone is running late or there is any other problem i'll usually receive a call to inform me what's happening.
I would highly recommend Bluebird Care to anyone and look forward to their visits.

Since switching to Bluebird we have had the peace of mind, particularly living far apart. We have had great communication from the supervisors and carers. My aunt has received incredible care from the team which now looks after her 24/7. They have ALL gone beyond the call of duty. A perfect illustration
is a number of them visiting my aunt on their day off when she took a turn for the worse. Truly caring carers who have made all the difference to my aunt's later life.

Since having Bluebird girls my life has changed and I can look forward I having a lovely chat. I have only a few care assistants and I have been able to have a I've relationship with them. I don't like a lot of people coming to my home but really like the Bluebird girls and always get a good service
and a lovely chat.
I like how the girls treat me as I like and how the girls always offer to help me with anything I need. I would not go anywhere else for care. I am very happy.
