All management and staff are excellent. Always able to contact someone, plus if any changes with my mother they keep in touch with myself and the rest of the family. When my mother took ill the carer phoned the ambulance (excellent service).

I have already told a lot of people about Blue Ribbon and their trust worthy staff very polite will go out their way to accommodate the customers. If their customers are happy they are happy. Fantastic company. Fantastic staff. Will keep recommending them to everyone I know.

The most friendly and tentative care company, couldn't recommend them highly enough. The staff were amazing, management couldn't have been more helpful and we always knew where we were at with them. Can't thank them enough for looking after my Nan so well.

My dad has been receiving the most thoughtful, considerate and attentive care from all the staff for a number of years. I have peace of mind because I know he is in the right hands. I would most definitely recommend Blue Ribbon to everyone.

Due to my fathers dementia and ill health it was necessary to get him help. Blue Ribbon's name was on a list given to me by his social worker. From the very beginning they were professional and friendly. Unfortunately I only needed their services for a short time but it was fantastic.
The staff treated
dad with respect and care, the manager assisted dad in getting re-admitted when it was obvious he should not have left hospital. I would highly recommend Blue Ribbon to anyone who wants a five star service. Thank you - I couldn't have done it without you.

I must commend the manager and his team for the level of care and kindness afforded to my mother. I can't praise Blue Ribbon enough for their professionalism and conscientiousness; and acted with respect and compassion at all times.

Blue Ribbon is a small care provider which I chose for my mother in the hope of a close personal relationship developing. Over time this proved to be the case. My mother has dementia and the limited number of staff, (with one main carer) helped immensely. The approach of all staff was very professional
and supportive but also very adaptable to developing situations. Contact with Blue Ribbon office was always efficient and personal.

First class service. The staff are friendly, kind and hard working. The best service that we have used by far and great value for money. Everything is explained in detail regarding costs, times etc, communication is incredibly good. I couldn't be happier with this service.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.963 for Blue Ribbon Community Care (Tyne and Wear) is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 54 Ratings = 4.963

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Blue Ribbon Community Care (Tyne and Wear) is based on 9 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4.9

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Hello, I’m, Leanne and I’m the Registered Manager of Blue Ribbon Community Care (Tyne & Wear). This means that it is my job to ensure that you receive outstanding care and support from us. We do this by spending time with you beforehand to discuss all your needs and wants and then devising a plan with you that will meet those needs. I’ve worked in social care my entire working life and I came to Blue Ribbon because I knew that their only objective was to deliver high-quality care all of the time. This has been shown in our many awards from Homecare.co.uk as well as our “Outstanding” rating from the CQC. I can’t imagine ever working anywhere else!

Hello, I’m Devon and I’m the Client Care Manager. This means that I make sure that all the care workers know all about the needs of those people they support and that they are in the right place at the right time. This means that if you ever call Blue Ribbon to talk about care and support for a loved one, it’s probably going to be me who will come out to see you. I started at Blue Ribbon as a Care Worker and then got promoted to Team Leader and now Client Care Manager. I know each and every person who works here at Blue Ribbon (we’re not a big company, but we are very friendly and personal) and I know I would happily have anybody here look after me or any of my loved ones.
