Excellent in every way. From assessment in the home and when speaking to the staff on the phone. My mom loved the care staff she had looking after her. They were very caring and understanding of her needs. Also making her feel valued despite her age. Well done everyone for providing a great service.

Reply from Vicki Smith, Care and Support Manager at Bluebird Care Walsall

We have had an exceptional experience with Bluebird Care. They have spent the last 10 months caring for my grandmother, and I can not speak highly enough of both the company and the care staff. The care staff are highly accommodating and friendly and always take the time to ensure my grandmother is
happy and her needs are attended to. I would recommend Bluebird Care Walsall to every individual seeking care within the Walsall area.

Reply from Vicki Smith, Care and Support Manager at Bluebird Care Walsall

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. The team will be delighted to receive your feedback, and we look forward to continuing to support your Grandmother during our daily visits.

The peace of mind Bluebird Care gave to us as a family was immeasurable. After a big surgery, the unknowns are great for a lady of 84 living in her own home. The care given meant that my brother and I could feel happy that mom was well looked after. All the simple but important tasks that needed to
be done were done with care and consideration. The flexibility of the service meant that mom also had the freedom to continue to live her life whilst recovering, but still staying safe.

Reply from Vicki Smith, Care and Support Manager at Bluebird Care Walsall

We really appreciate your feedback and your kind words. Knowing that Mom is able to continue to live her life whilst remaining in the comfort of her own home as a result of the care and support we provide, is the exact reason our business was set up. We look forward to our visits to Mom and continuing to support you as a family.

Professional, caring and supportive. Bluebird Care Walsall gave an excellent service to support my mother with all her needs whilst living at home with Alzheimer's. This applied to individual carers as well as management and admin support.

We at the moment have two or three regular carers who mum and I like very much. They look after us very well and are always polite and considerate and are careful to point out if they have any concerns (an extra pair of eyes). The office staff are always helpful also. Over the years we've learned to
trust Bluebird staff and they are helpful should we need to make changes.

Reply from Vicki Smith, Care and Support Manager at Bluebird Care Walsall

It has been our absolute pleasure to visit Mum over the last few years and in the process, we have also got to know you very well too. It is lovely to hear that you feel well supported and looked after. We look forward to all future visits and will continue to provide the very best care and support for both you and Mum.

Bluebird Care Walsall have provided us care over the years for my mom. I have always found the care to be very person-centred, and the staff have always shown Mom the utmost respect, especially when maintaining her dignity and also her religious preferences. Their continuity of the staff has been exceptional
as Mom definitely had her favourites! The staff were always quick to notify us of any concerns related to Moms health and deterioration of her condition. On many occasions, we were able to act quickly based on the carers notifying us and get her the treatment she needed. I would highly recommend Bluebird Care Walsall.

Bluebird Care has been wonderful during Covid, very supportive towards both myself and my father. All the care staff have worn excellent levels of PPE, fantastic staff consistency. My father and myself are over the moon with Bluebird Services.

My Bluebird carer is punctual, cheerful, willing and helpful. She is a good listener who has learned my needs and idiosyncrasies. She does not patronise me but is willing to listen to my anecdotes. I look forward to her arrival each morning and feel she and I work as a team.
When she is not on duty
other staff are also caring and lovely.

After researching several care facility providers, Bluebird was selected. Having had 8 months of care, our choice was clearly the correct one. There have been isolated problems associated with timetabling, an inevitable home care difficulty. Despite this, I am extremely happy with Bluebird Care.

I am absolutely delighted with the care and attention given both to my relative and to me, as the person organising the care. In my experience, Bluebird Care Walsall carers and office staff are kind, thoughtful and compassionate. They are very accessible and keep in excellent contact with me to discuss
anything new that has arisen, or that will need to be paid attention to in the future. They are efficient and dependable. I really could not ask for more. Their service is brilliant and I thoroughly recommend it.
