Overall Experience

My mother came to live with me in Gloucester 3 years ago and following a rapid decline in her health she became more frail and less mobile. She had numerous complex health issues. In November 2023 we arranged for weekly visits. I had been in bad health myself during the summer and my husband had died

suddenly in December 2022. I started feeling very concerned about not having a back up plan if my own health was poor.
Over time visits gradually increased to adapt to changing needs. This was always promptly and kindly dealt with. All carers who visited, without exception, were professional , with care and warmth. They soon realised that my mother was wanting to maintain as much independence as she could still muster. They encouraged this but adapted when she had periods of poor health.
She loved to chat with them about their families. I often heard her upstairs having a real giggle with them.
Sadly after battling through deteriorating health she passed away in hospital in June 2025.

Overall Experience

From our first encounter with Bluebird Care we were impressed. the live-in care supervisor spent 3 hours with us assessing us and getting to know us and our needs. This really payed dividends as the carer he found for us was absolutely perfect. This was a first for us and we were a bit nervous but the

carer put us at our ease straight away and by the end of 2 weeks she just felt like a friend staying with us. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she took over the running of the house as well as caring for my husband. The carer was really well trained and I had every confidence in her ability to manage my husband's catheter and medication.
We will definitely be using Bluebird Care if we need help in the future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. He is delighted to hear that everthing went so well - getting the start of a new care package right is the trickiest and most important part, and it's nice for him, and for all of us, to get recognition for all the work he puts in :)

The service provided by Bluebird for my dad was caring, compassionate and professional and enabled him to stay at home amongst his family during his final days. We were very grateful that they went out of their way to organise support when we needed it so urgently and at such a difficult time.

Overall Experience

My parents were both diagnosed with dementia at the same time two years ago. They soon progressed to the stage where they needed to be in a home, or to have live-in care.

They wanted to stay at home as long as possible so we started a live-in arrangement with a different agency and had huge difficulties.

We

then switched to Bluebird Care Gloucestershire North and it made all the difference. They enabled Mum and Dad to enjoy two more years at home together. The difference in the quality of care and professionalism of the management was astounding.

The management are very easy to contact, responsive and understanding.

All of the carers were high-quality. It was very helpful to be able to discuss Mum and Dad's progress and needs with them.

I highly recommend Bluebird Care Gloucestershire North.

Amazing staff and amazing care. Nothing was too much trouble, always professional and courteous and treated Mum with the greatest dignity. The support for my mum and myself was priceless and I always knew Mum was being well cared for. If I ever had a query, the Office Staff were always there to help.

Unfortunately, my mum has had to go into residential care and I know Mum will miss the girls. I would thoroughly recommend Bluebird to anyone looking for care.

Overall Experience

Have found Bluebird to be very professional and have given my mother who suffers from Alzheimer's time to enjoy some of her day. The carers are cheerful and always lift up her spirits when she feels down.
The level of care is also very good. I have worked in the case profession most of my life and

am impressed with their professional approach to their work without losing that personal, friendly touch so important in this line of work.
I can recommend this care provider without doubt and hope to continue having them until there will be no more need.

Overall Experience

We are very pleased with the care provided by Bluebird. All the carers are kind and attentive and they provide an excellent service. We are impressed by their attention to detail of the daily routine. Our main adjustment to having carers has been getting used to the very early start (7am) and we are

waiting on starting at a later time.

Overall Experience

Overall the care my husband has received has been excellent. As we have a carer come to allow me to leave the house for appointments, shopping etc. The one grumble I have is that the carer is often late, which can be a problem if I have an appointment. Although of course, I realise that it’s not always

possible for her to leave the previous client on the dot, I wonder if enough time is allowed for traffic, distance and so forth between jobs.

Reply from Gareth Powick, Director at Bluebird Care (Cheltenham, Gloucester & Tewkesbury)

Thank you for taking the time to review us; I'm glad your overall experience has been excellent. I'm sorry to hear the variances in your visit time cause you problems. I can see that the carer has been between 10 and 20 minutes late on 5 occasions in the last 3 months, which does meet the service level that we promised to achieve, but I will get someone to contact you to see if there is a way we can tailor things to make things better.
Kind regards.

Overall Experience

Bluebird helped to look after my Mum for many years, until sadly at 95 she had to go into hospital. The care given to her enabled her to stay in her own home for as long as she did which is what she wanted. They provided daily visits to my Mum to help with personal care, medication, meal preparation,

general well being and bedtime calls to ensure all was well and she was safe for the night. Along side this their support to me as her main carer was invaluable. When I was poorly myself they quickly stepped in with more visits giving me the chance to recuperate. Communication was brilliant and nothing ever seemed to much trouble. The way they operate is highly professional and they run a system which is easy to access so you can check visits and notes at any time. Happy, friendly carers is testament to the staff being treated well by the company. I cannot reccomend them enough.

Overall Experience

My experience of Bluebird Care has been excellent. The assessment process was in-depth and person-centred. The service was initiated very promptly and professionally. The care delivered to my father was compassionate and kind. The care team were supportive not only to my father but also to myself as

we entered his final days. My only regret was that we did not engage Bluebird sooner which would have enabled my father to build relationships with the team and get to know them properly. Each carer who visited treated my father with the utmost care and respect, the support of Bluebird meant that my father was able to end his days with dignity in his own home. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Our experience of Bluebird Care has been very positive throughout the period of 18 months when they cared for our aunt at home. All carers were engaging, kind, patient and professional. They handled difficult shifts when our uunt was angry, confused or anxious extremely well. The management of these

carers ensured a high level of consistency, with the same carers attending at least fortnightly and there was hardly any staff turnover. It meant so much to our aunt that she saw the same people over and again on three visits per day. The system allowed us to see the rota, the care plan and reports from each visit shortly after its conclusion. As our aunt became more confused, this was more and more important to us.

Reply from Gareth Powick, Director at Bluebird Care Stroud & Cirencester

Stephen,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. The care staff who visited your aunt enjoyed the time they spent - even on the occasions when things were more challenging. It means a lot to them to know you are happy with the support we provided, I will make sure this is passed on to them.
Kind regards.

The Team provided a good standard of care for my Mother whilst she adjusted to being less able to care for herself. I was able to book extra slots if available. I found contacting the office to discuss matters or with financial queries were resolved satisfactorily and promptly.
