All your carers have been very friendly and thoroughly professional and accommodated the needs of my wife in a manner that suits her. it has been good, for the most part, to have a continuity of the same carers who, thereby, become familiar with their necessary duties and know exactly what they need
to do immediately on arrival. Thank you and keep up the good service!

Bluebird looked after both of my parents throughout the pandemic, and I really don’t know what we would have done without them. Sadly my father passed away at the end of last year, but my mother continues to have overnight care.
It gives peace of mind to know she is being looked after in a kind and
caring way, and we are very happy with the service that Bluebird provide.

Find all carers kind and considerate, and do their job well. They always come in with a smile and are friendly. Happy Dad and chat without it interfering with their duties. Apart from a few issues along the way, we are satisfied with the care provided.

My 94-year-old dad, from last June, found himself in a repeating spiral of the hospital, then home. When finally discharged from the hospital in January, he was very weak and went into respite care. His recovery was very slow, and he missed being in his own home. We decided to commission Bluebird Care
to provide a live-in 24/7 complex care package. The carer who looked after Dad was absolutely brilliant. She cooked, cleaned, supported Dad's personal care, and most importantly, engaged with Dad. Within a short time, Dad's appetite and mobility improved to the point where his level of care was reduced to 4-times a day. Using Bluebird Care was the best thing we could have done for Dad.
Bluebird has continued supporting Dad, and our interactions with all their staff whether carers or admin, have been first class. Always supporting Dad to continue his recovery with a caring and friendly attitude. Dad is gradually recovering his health, and this is mainly due to Bluebird Care. The app is also brilliant.

I have been with Bluebird for roughly 4-years, and on the whole, the service is very good. I think it helps to have the same carer every day, but of course, they cannot work all the time. I do realise that sometimes things go wrong, which cannot be avoided and try to be aware of this situation, I usually
get someone eventually. The only thing is I don’t always get a call to tell me things have changed. Bluebird has been very helpful if I need an earlier or later call from the carer because I have an appointment to get to. They try their hardest to accommodate you. Once I have been washed and dressed, I can then get on with my day. I have only used Bluebird, apart from the carers they send you after you have been in hospital, you have them for 6-weeks, and I have always been glad to return to Bluebird Care.

I have had one visit per day, increasing to two/per day during the past year by very good, friendly and competent, mainly female, staff. My daughter reads the carer's notes every evening in San Francisco, where she lives, which gives her peace of mind as she knows that I am being well looked after.

It took a lot for me to hand over care and responsibility for my mother, however, Bluebird, so far, has risen to the challenge, and overall, has been a game-changer for both my mum and me.
Six months ago, I didn’t think my mum would accept outside care, but now she looks forward to the 4-visits she
gets a day - the empathy of the carers and the support I’ve received from their office have given me the confidence to go back to work and slowly, as trust builds, after several years of being the primary carer, I’m getting my life back on track.
Thank you, Bluebird.

Despite only using Bluebird services for a short time, we have been very impressed with the service provided. From the first telephone enquiry to the initial consultation regarding our needs and to the carer who started exactly at the time requested and carried out his duties efficiently and with respect
to ourselves. We would not hesitate in recommending Bluebird.

The carers always arrive on time. They work well and with regards to Mum, who appears to be happy with her care. I am always kept informed of which carers to expect at certain times. I like the way carers put their reports in emails and not in a folder as any problems which arise can be sorted out.
The supervisor arranged for Mum's bed to have guards, something I appreciate. Everyone is friendly and professional.

Whenever I have needed to request a change or specific service, the co-ordinator has always been able to accommodate me. Nothing is too much trouble and if there is something that needs clarifying, I’m either phoned or receive a text.
The care support I get every day is excellent from a great carer
- it makes a big difference to my everyday life and well-being.

First I would like to start by stating that I always make positive comments. Most of the time, work is carried out in a good manner, but there have been some occasions when it was carried out below average by some of the carers. In the past, carers were leaving before their time was over. At the moment
we are very happy with the carers that we have. No negative comments at all.
