My family can't thank Blueberry Care enough for all their help and support over the last month especially!!! They have gone the extra mile to support us during a very difficult period and we don't know what we would have done without them.

An excellent service from start until the end when my mother passed away with care and compassion demonstrated by all staff .
The staff are so dedicated and knowledgeable,nothing too much trouble .
I was never concerned leaving my mum in the care of the team.
Any problems they encountered they would
always contact me for advice etc.
Impressive documentation and notes ,along with care plan.
I am from a nursing background so initially had reservations handing over care to an agency ,it was the best decision I made .
when my mum passed the care staff remained until the end ,which was the first time she had experienced a death only 20 .
What compassion shown towards my family and myself ,she stayed and chatted with staff and it was nice involving her .
I always recommend the agency to friends and professional colleagues .
Well done from senior management ,admin , co - ordinations and support staff.

Blueberry Care and Nursing Services, wow can't say enough about them.
When mum fell ill last year I rang around for some care for her, Blueberry care fitted my mums needs for what she needed and set up a care package within a week so she could come back to her own home with care.
Can't say enough
about the carers they are all amazing with so much love to give.
Mum has quite a few different carers and they all so caring and loving to her.
They go above and beyond not just a carer they are like good friends to mum. The care coordinator is truly amazing if you have concerns or want to make a change to the care plan she will sort it out.
Please if you are thinking of care for a family member please ring and speak to the care coordinator at Blueberry care. She is just totally amazing she will talk about a care plan what things that your relative needs and you can just ring and change the care plan as and when you need to.
Blueberry care has given me the reassurance my mum is getting the best care anyone can give her, Thankyou all.

I contacted Blueberry Care and Nursing Services when my dad fell and broke his hip the week before I was going away. I needed urgent care arrangements in place to support my dad whilst I was away. Blueberry immediately set up an emergency care plan to put my mind at rest.
The communication was excellent
and the package was explained well and was very clear.
The attending staff were lovely and the care co-ordinator was excellent.
I can't recommend Blueberry enough and want to thank them for supporting my dad and our family to aid him in his recovery.

My mum has been a client of Blueberry Care for a number of years. The staff that care for her on a daily basis are wonderful, as are the office staff. She has had a different care company before Blueberry Care, but this is by far the best. The two staff she has each day can't do enough for her, making
sure she is safe and well. The office staff are so helpful and if I need to change or cancel a call, they are happy to help.

My mother-in-law's carer is always on time, friendly and efficient. She helps my mother-in-law to get ready for the day ahead, helping with breakfast and getting washed and dressed. The service that Blueberry Care provide gives us the peace of mind that all is well, that she is set up for the day and
has everything she needs.

A very good experience through a very difficult time. The support was good as my wife grew weaker and weaker. The personal care was better than I could give. Always on time and the personnel we got were regular ones who we got to know well. Kindness was a feature of their care, well trained and knew
their job.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be with Blueberry Care. The level of care is excellent. Carers are very conscientious and competent carrying out their work. They are also very flexible and willing to adapt working practices to suit the client as their needs change. My mum enjoys their visit
too as they are friendly, caring and fun.
The management are excellent, keeping it all going despite staff shortages at times. They are very responsive and helpful when contacted.
All-in-all a very pleasant and effective service.

This company have become like family over the last few years. The carers are amazing and extremely professional, always putting the clients well-being first!
I want to thank everyone for fighting to keep Dad in their care.
I am beyond sad that the local council see fit to give my dad to a different
company because Kare Plus have struggled with staff illness! I might add that the level of professionalism did not in any way reflect on Dad's care and we knew nothing of the staffing difficulties. I think this speaks for itself!
Obviously, my Dad's mental well-being means nothing to the local council, if it did they would not be taking the carers away from Dad. The carers that cared so lovingly for my dying mum too!
Shame on our local council! Thank you Kare Plus!

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

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Blueberry Care and Nursing Services is based on 16 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 + 0.1 = 5

  • 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.

Job Title: Managing Director

Joined: 2010

Hi, my name is Jamie, I am the owner of blueberry care and have been since its inception.
I believe everyone has their own unique story of how they started in the healthcare industry; here’s mine.


My mother spent a period of time in a Care Home where I frequently visited her, always astonished by the quality of the care that was offered to her and the support of the staff that helped her during this time.


Once my mother passed, I realised the care industry was one that was significantly worth engaging in, and with my business background I decided the best way for me to support a caring company would be to create my own; blueberry care
A little over a decade later, I find myself in a very fortunate position with an incredible group of people around me, providing care that the team and myself can be very proud of. My goal is to set the standard for all of those in the blueberry care team and have us provide the best quality care in our area.


So far, I am incredibly proud of all of the people whose bios are below, as well as our day-to-day carers and office staff and everything we have achieved together.
