Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've been a client of Bluebird Care for 10 years and their support has been consistently outstanding. The carers are kind, professional, and always respectful. A special thank you to my supervisor, whose dedication and compassion have made all the difference. She goes above and beyond to ensure I'm
comfortable, listened to, and well looked after. Bluebird Care has truly made a positive impact on my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

I recently made use of Bluebird care for my 97 year old mother. Although I only need an hour a day, the carer was warm and kind. I cannot comment on what other services are provided as the need was more for companionship. The office staff are professional and capable. I am grateful for their help.

I am delighted with the help I have been given by the carers since I came out of hospital. They are both so kind and are only too pleased to help in any way. Thank you for providing me with this extra help to get me back to living a normal life again. I will most certainly use Bluebird Care if I need
any help in the future.

One member of staff in particular is obliging and never declines a request. Very dedicated to her role and has made a positive difference to my parents and my lives. Also appreciate their honest yet diplomatic approach in resolving initial teething problems. Bluebird has been very understanding of my
parent's needs and accommodating by having a meeting at the hospital. Thank you.

I have only positive feedback to give for Bluebird Care.
They are extremely easy to deal with, from reception to carers. All the staff have my son's and family's needs at the forefront of what they provide.
They are friendly, very caring and extremely professional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I first heard positive things about Bluebird when it was recommended as a potential purchaser to a Disability Agency of which I was a trustee. Since then, Bluebird has looked after the mother of a close friend, a friend for whom I am now the executor, and my old nanny, now 98 years old. I cannot speak
highly enough of the charm, kindness and complete professionalism of the nursing staff that so efficiently and regularly (three times a day) visit my home.

I have been using Bluebird Care for a few years now, and I must say, their services have been extremely good. They have provided me with very good carers. The carers are well presented and very helpful and efficient. Any problems have been solved quickly and effectively by a phone call. I would recommend
this company to my friends and family, and I would never change them for any other companies.

Review from B B (Niece of Client) published on 16 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I visit my aunt at least once a month for several days. I use the agency as opposed to private carers because I need to guarantee 24/7 cover for my aunt. Whenever the has been a difficulty providing this the agency has been able to cover it. The care supervisor is easily contacted and acts promptly.
Including my aunt in day to day, activities would be beneficial but carers like to give care and tend to do it all themselves.

Review from Ghislaine M (Daughter of Client) published on 19 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was recommended Bluebird, and after experiencing other unsatisfactory organisations, their services are way more than I could have expected. The carers are kind, respectful and experienced. They are keen to fulfil the wishes of the client, but also have an overview of other needs. Regular communication
from the supervisor with family and supervisor with the client ensures up to date care at all times. People are at the heart of this organisation, but not business needs. No frills or images with logos! I can relax knowing that my mum is in good hands.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.711)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.711) out of 10 for Bluebird Care Barnet is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.811 for Bluebird Care Barnet is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 53 Ratings = 4.811
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Bluebird Care Barnet is based on 9 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 = 4.9
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
