Bluebird Care was recommended to us by my cousin but we live in a different area. It has been a successful find, only stopping because I took early retirement and can look after my mum. But should I need any additional support, I've asked the manager if I can pick the help again when needed. The staff
are friendly and given my mum someone to chat with during a long day when I was at work. Highly recommended and again, thank you for your help.

I considered using Bluebird Care following verbal recommendations from other people.
My initial telephone conversation with the care supervisor was helpful and encouraging. The list of fees and terms and conditions were sent promptly and a home visit set up with my aunt and myself. This was carried
out sympathetically and efficiently.
The starting date for care to begin had to be altered due to hospitalisation but was reinstated at very short notice.
My aunt has liked all the carers who have visited and enjoyed getting to know them. They treat her with kindness and respect.
All communication with the care supervisor has been very helpful and has made what has been a worrying and stressful time much easier.

Reply from Rebecca Zartarian, Director at Bluebird Care Trafford

Thank you for your detailed review which outlines your thoughts during the onboarding process and that you have been pleased with the outcomes. I am pleased that the Care Supervisor has been your point of contact and has conducted herself so well. It is also fantastic to hear that your aunt is getting to know the carers and enjoying their company. We hope to continue to deliver our premium care service for your aunt for many years to come. Thank you.

I took out a companionship twice daily package of visits for my 96-year-old father on the days I am at work back in April of this year following a social needs review.
Bluebird staff that visited were very friendly and helpful to his then current needs.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

My 90-year-old father has received services from Bluebird Care Trafford for the past two years.


We have all been consistently thrilled with the services from Bluebird. Without exception, the carers are friendly, cheerful, and beyond helpful. They assist my father with whatever he needs and he looks

forward to their visits. For us, the thorough reports that the carers enter into the app at the end of each visit are invaluable for monitoring my father’s well-being.


The supervisor regularly goes above and beyond to make sure my father is well taken care of and that we are informed of any concerns. She has even coordinated 111, 999 and district nurse visits for him. One of the unexpected additional benefits of the Bluebird service is that they take my father to medical visits, and support him through the appointment.


We are all so happy with the service we receive. It is my pleasure to write this review for such a wonderful and much appreciated organization.


Reply from Rebecca Zartarian, Director at Bluebird Care Trafford

Thank you so much for your kind words, I will most certainly pass them on to the relevant carers and the supervisor. As you live a distance away it is great you feel reassured by reading the care notes and have good communication with us in the office. We hope to look after and support your father for many years to come! Thank you once again for taking the time to complete this wonderful review.

We asked Bluebird Care, Trafford to step in when we were away to help our 91-year-old mother maintain her independence and give us peace of mind that she had an emergency backup while we were not there. The team were exceptional. The initial consultation was easily arranged and attentive to what her
needs and wishes were. As a result, they provided a flexible service including a welfare phone call and home visits. We have used them since and always receive the same professional service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bluebird to others.

Bluebird has given my 8-year-old son some fantastic carers; he’s always excited to see them and knows he will be having fun.
They are always happy to take him to activities that enjoys and put his happiness first to make sure he has a lovely time.
The office staff are really helpful, especially one
lady, who is always lovely and tries to help in any way possible. The manager is very professional and deals with any issues promptly and seems to genuinely care for all the clients.
I would recommend Bluebird to other parents.

We have recently started using Bluebird following a recommendation by social care. Mum has been very reluctant to accept help as she doesn’t understand why she needs it. It’s taken a bit of trial and error working out the best routine, but Bluebird have been helpful, patient and kind in their approach,
have advised us regarding medication support and although Mum still doesn’t understand (due to her Alzheimer’s) why she needs help, she accepts the carers into her home and I know she feels comfortable with them. They have managed to gently persuade her to accept help and are kind and caring. I am able to keep up with how visits have gone via the app and love to see that when they have finished allocated care, have sat and chatted with Mum (some lovely, kind, caring comments).

Bluebird has been looking after my father since October 2021, visiting him four times a day. I have been very impressed with all aspects of their service. The management is very proactive (making suggestions where needed) and has taken a lot of care in making detailed notes to ensure all my father's
needs are met. I feel confident in the sensitive manner that they monitor concerns with any health issues and communicate with me. I find the app really helpful and if I have any queries I receive a prompt response from the office. All the carers have lovely personalities, showing a genuine caring approach. They encourage interactions with my father and always carry out their tasks with a good sense of humour. I feel that this is more than a job for them and my father looks forward to their visits. I have dealt with other care agencies in the past and Bluebird are outstanding, so I feel lucky to have their help.

Reply from Ian Helsby, Owner & Managing Director at Bluebird Care Trafford

We are really grateful for your very kind and thoughtful and encouraging review. We truly appreciate it! It's a privilege to be able to support your father who we have known for many years now, having initially supported him with care for his beloved wife. It actually takes not just an ("Outstanding"! Thank you!) home care company, but also a true partnership with customers and families who also care and are engaged and supportive with care for themselves and their loved-ones. This is what you do for your father, which is rare in our experience, and we really appreciate working with you to help him live his best life. Warmest regards and very best wishes from all the team at Bluebird Care Trafford.

My son absolutely LOVES each and every one of the carers who come to take him out and they always have such nice things to say about him. He can never get out of the house quick enough and he's always so happy to see them and they are always so happy to see him. What I love most is how much he has progressed
since having Bluebird and myself and his dad have noticed a real difference in him and how much he's calmed down and he's maturing as well which is an absolute joy to see!

My son has been with Bluebird Care for over a year now.
The staff are very friendly calm and collective as my child has a very rigid routine which everyone at Bluebird Care has been very accommodating towards.
The staff are always on time and very communicative. If a care worker is running late, which
rarely happens the office will always inform me beforehand so my child doesn't get upset due to lateness and I always get a detailed handover.
My child has taken to the carers so well he even refers to them as his friends.
