My parents received excellent and compassionate care from Bluebird Care for two years. As their needs changed their care packages were updated quickly to address the changes.
As they moved to end of life care at home this year, the service was responsive and very supportive to my parents and myself.
Bluebird Care Walsall made it possible for my parents to be well cared for at home and to remain together right until the end of their lives. If we had not found Bluebird, I don't think this would have been possible.

Reply from Vicki Smith, Registered Manager at Bluebird Care Walsall

Thank you very much for your kind words, it was our absolute pleasure to care for your parents and to hear you say that our input made it possible for them to remain at home together, for us that is everything. I will be sure to share your words with the team.

Bluebird started looking after my mom after a recent fall. From the start the care has been outstanding, the attention to detail is amazing, my mom was reluctant to have carers in her home but now she looks forward to the visits.
The carers that attend to Mom are very professional, caring and understanding.
The
office staff listened to Mom's needs, which was reflected in the care plan and the staff that attended to Mom carry out the tasks professionally and respectfully.
I highly recommend Bluebird to anyone who needs care.
Fantastic teamwork.

Reply from Vicki Smith, Registered Manager at Bluebird Care Walsall

Thank you for your kind words, our team take huge pride in the trust you place in us to care for your loved ones and all the carers who visit Mom really look forward to their visits and spending time with her. The team will be thrilled to hear your kind words, thank you!

It is nice to meet a team of carers who genuinely care. As a family, the regular communication we have with the management team is fantastic, and the online care software that they have given us access to gives us all the peace of mind we need. We’re able to log in from anywhere in the world and make
sure the visit has been completed and all the details.

Bluebird Care Walsall stepped up when Dad suddenly needed more assistance. After reassessing Dad at the hospital, a new plan of three times a day was settled on. Dad was very specific about what times he wanted; Bluebird was always able to comply with his request. The carers that came out to Dad were
always keen to get to know him and to do things the way he wanted. They took time to make sure that he was always clean and comfortable. They always cooked him his favourite breakfast and other meals on their daily visits. It became apparent that two carers were needed at each visit, and again, Bluebird was able to comply with Dad's request for specific times. Throughout the month, Bluebird was always at the end of the phone to advise and support me too, as I was unable to visit Dad due to my own forced isolation. Using the app, I was able to ‘see’ how Dad was cared for at each visit. We found Bluebird have always been caring and supportive and would recommend them without hesitation.

Thank you for taking the time to review our service and for your very kind words. It is great for all of our team to hear such positive feedback, and we would like to thank you and Dad for trusting us to care for him. You were a pleasure to speak with and liaise with throughout the time we cared for Dad, and it goes without saying that all of the care assistants that visited Dad were very fond of him.
