We could not be more delighted with having found our carer, who cares for my mother and father in law. She is professional, caring and hard working. We simply couldn't manage without her now. She is part of the family. Thank you for all you do.

When I was admitted to hospital last December, our family were very concerned about my husband, who has dementia, and found care for him with Blue Ribbon Live In Care, then when I came home in February we were both looked after. Without the carer in place, my husband would have had to go into a home, his care has been excellent and he has been very happy with the carer. When I came home from hospital in February, I was very weak and frail but thankfully, have improved though still not very mobile, we are very thankful for the excellent care we have to enable us to remain at home. For anyone else looking for live-in care, I would certainly recommend this company.

My mother received live in support from Blue Ribbon at very short notice. The carer was professional and friendly and the family thought mum was in excellent hands letting us get on with our lives and when we visit we can spend quality time with her. I would highly recommend them.

We found Blue Ribbon Live In Care after a poor experience with another provider. The difference is like chalk and cheese. From the moment of first contact, through all the 'back room' work to our actual carer, our experience has been brilliant. It's given us so much confidence that Mum is being loved and well looked after. Everyone comes to Mum with care and compassion, and we know she feels so comfortable as a result.

My Mum, who has dementia, has full-time live-in care. Her carer is really kind, patient and attentive - there's a real bond of friendship between them. I think we're blessed to have been provided with such an excellent carer for Mum.

Blue Ribbon Live In Care provided me with an excellent carer to look after my dear friend, here in North Wales, who had advanced Parkinson's disease. She was the kindest person I have ever met, she showed true professionalism at all times and went above and beyond her duties, she cared for this lovely lady up until she passed away with total dignity. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants the compassion and care expected for their loved ones.

The carers provided by Blue Ribbon are first class. Really attentive and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. They fit into the home and family situations really well. Have required emergency night carers and these have been supplied at really short notice. Definitely recommend.

Your company has provided care for our 94-year-old friend of 25 years since Spring 2023. The resident carer is wonderful and has done the job above and beyond. She hardly gets any time off as she is supposed to, as our friend has become very clingy and as she is blind, she doesn't like to be alone. The carer shows our friend nothing but loving compassion and great patience at all times. Yesterday our friend slid out of bed, and as she seemed to be in pain, the carer phoned an ambulance at 1.30 a.m. and made them both comfy on the floor. We arrived at 9 a.m and the the ambulance came at 9.30 a.m. The carer also went to the hospital and remained with her in the ambulance till 1 p.m We arrived and insisted the carer had some food and a drink. We were told our friend would be waiting in the ambulance for an indefinite time so we insisted the carer went home for some sleep and the ambulance people agreed. We will all return later today once our friend has been admitted and hopefully has a bed in a ward.

Support was provided to my wife and I following my unexpected hospital stay. Our carer was extremely sensitive to our needs as, in addition to my post-hospital needs, my wife required 24-hour care due to her long-standing Secondary Progressive MS. We were privileged to have someone who understood the special need for 24-hour care and undertook that responsibility with compassion. After six weeks we considered our carer to be the equivalent of a second daughter. We were privileged to meet our carer and to benefit from the personal and professional approach she brought to her work.

Dad’s live-in carer came to him at the beginning of May 2023. This was a compromise, as he refused to go into a care home, but the care he received was so good that we would wholeheartedly recommend this way of caring for an elderly relative. The carer was absolutely professional, but at the same time, warm and friendly, and became like a member of the family. We regret to say that Dad did not make this easy, as he was very resistant to many aspects of care and made life very difficult for his carer, who showed great patience and resilience, despite some very challenging behaviour from Dad. Her positive attitude, despite all that was thrown at her, was beyond expectations and the quality of the care she provided was exemplary. The arrangement sadly ended when Dad became too poorly to be cared for at home and was taken into hospital. The way in which the agency dealt with this situation was extremely helpful at a difficult time, and the carer left the house in excellent order.

My mother required live-in care for the last 18 months of her life, with the last few months turning to end-of-life and palliative care. The carers provided by Blue Ribbon Live In Care were of an exceptional standard, showing patience, kindness, fun and laughs and great gentle care, especially during the last few months. Our main live-in carer was excellent. She spent time getting to know Mum's likes and dislikes and spent hours chatting to her and making her laugh. Her care and attention to detail were second to none. All the other carers, who either covered breaks, or came to assist with care, or covered a night duty were of an equally high standard. We felt confident that Mum was in safe and caring hands at all times. The management always responded to emails and requests for advice, as Mum deteriorated, and regularly checked in on Mum to see how she was. I would highly recommend Blue Ribbon.

I have been with Blue Ribbon since December 2022. I am happy with the care I receive from the company and the staff. They check on me to make sure I am satisfied with the care. They have been attentive to my needs.
26 March 2023
Very impressed with the support given by the manager for my friend that required live-in care. She is always at the end of the phone when needed and will always answer any questions. Would highly recommend! Nothing is too much trouble for the manager and her team!

Blue Ribbon Live In Care have been providing live in care for my aunt for over a year. Our experience of both the organisation and management as well as the live-in staff has been excellent throughout. Indeed, the live-in carer has become almost an additional member of the family providing outstanding and compassionate support at all times. My aunt gets on exceptionally well with the live-in carer and knowing this is a great comfort to everyone in our extended family. I would recommend the care from Blue Ribbon to anyone.
08 March 2023
I have found the service to be competent and reliable. Because my parents live in an isolated place away from relatives (NWales), there have been a few issues regarding travel and handovers. But Blue Ribbon Live In Care has managed to sort out issues, and things have generally worked out. Carers have been professional, caring and competent.

Blue Ribbon is an excellent, friendly care company, very well managed by the management. We have received high calibre live-in staff, who are experienced and are given regular updated training and Covid inoculations. The managers care for their clients and their families and very importantly, for their staff! They make every effort to match carers to the clients. The service they give is excellent value for money. They insist live-in staff have regular, very necessary time off for their health and well-being. My old father has had continuity from the same live-in carer for nearly two years, who goes that extra mile to care for Dad, viewing him compassionately as a very old man with needs and he also brings understanding to his role, gained from a wide experience in the care sector. He ably delivers care for Dad's now complex physical needs and is a cheerful, patient companion. He makes visitors feel welcome, be they nurses, family, friends or domiciliary carers. He likes people and people like him.

Overall, a very positive experience with this company. Mum had two lovely carers who looked after her for the last two years of her life under some difficult circumstances at times, due to the dementia she suffered. We, as her family, found communication with both management and carers simple, efficient and reassuring. Knowing Mum was being looked after so well, did so much for our peace of mind. Priceless! I'd recommend to anyone.
09 January 2023
The care that my friend has received has been excellent and could not have stayed at home without the support from Blue Ribbon live-in care. She has had live-in care support for the last two years. I would not hesitate to recommend Blue Ribbon to anyone who is looking for live-in care.

We have been using Blue Ribbon for the past 5 months following a recommendation from a friend. We now have 2 amazing carers who work in rotation, and both feel like part of the family. They are both so kind, and a really good match with Mum. They allow (and encourage) her to do as much as she is able to when she is well, and I believe that this has helped her health improve significantly over the past few months. Mum loves to go out and they are happy to take her to the supermarket or for a coffee, as well as her trips to the hospital. Both carers are also in regular contact with my Sister and me on WhatsApp which gives us a great deal of reassurance. The manager and deputy manager have been brilliant to deal with. They are really responsive to any requests, very organised in making sure that there is coverage at all times, and responded well when we were allocated a carer that we didn’t feel was a good fit with Mum. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who is looking for live-in care.

My Mother needed help with personal needs whilst visiting her home, and then with her subsequent transfer of some distance from old to the new care home. Blue Ribbon quickly understood what was required and provided a carer to help with Mum's move. Throughout the home visits and move the carer was very polite, helpful, understanding, caring and professional, and made a huge contribution to the success of the move, both physically for Mum and emotionally. I would have no hesitation in using or recommending Blue Ribbon in the future. Thank you very much.
