Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We changed to Bluebird Care from a previous company and it was the best choice possible. Our carer is so friendly and kind to my dad. She helps to manage his dietary needs, medications and any other tasks to keep dad happy. The reassurance of the carer's visits is so valuable, just knowing daily needs
are met.
Reply from Martin Lahert, Director at Bluebird Care Tamworth, Lichfield, Nuneaton & North Warwickshire

Thank you, Naomi, for your kind words. It was a pleasure to help you and your family. We will be sure to pass on your comments onto our carers.

Bluebird Care have been amazing. I could not have coped without their support and Mum and Dad love their carers, enjoy their company and appreciate all the carers' support. Their hard work has made it possible for Mum and Dad to continue living in their home. This would not have been possible without
Bluebird Care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On the day Mum came home from the hospital, the first care team were there within a few hours. The immediately made Mum fell happy with her decision to come home. The care they provided put her mind at ease. They were absolutely fantastic in their approach, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
They felt like family to us. Without them, we would not have been able to give Mum the care she needed. She called them her angels, and they truly were just that. Would highly recommend.
Reply from Martin Lahert, Director at Bluebird Care Tamworth, Lichfield, Nuneaton & North Warwickshire

Thank you for this lovely review. It is great to know that we helped in a small way to make your mum feel at ease at home. We will pass your kind words on to our care team.

Your staff have been a godsend to my mother-in-law during the lockdown. Your more mature members of staff have been marvellous. They have assisted us as well as my mother-in-law. i.e. Telling us if there were problems. Thank you once again.

Review from Sharon S (Wife of Client) published on 19 May 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but praise for this company. That includes carers and management. Nothing is too much trouble and many, many times they have gone above and beyond to help us. If there is any problem, they will phone us to let us know what is happening (though this is not very often). The carers have
arrived with masks, gloves, and aprons at all times. To be honest they have become an extension to our family.
Reply from Martin Lahert, Director at Bluebird Care Tamworth, Lichfield, Nuneaton & North Warwickshire

Thank you for your kind words Sharon. We all appreciate the feedback and glad we can help and make a difference to your daily life.

Review from E G (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 27 April 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We called on Bluebird care when my mother in Law was due home following emergency respite care and a spell in hospital. Her health had declined quickly. She had been living independently. She was eventually diagnosed with Dementia Alzheimer's. Bluebird Care was very accommodating. They arranged an assessment
and care cover really quickly, so there was no gap in provision following the end of the NHS cover. All the carers and managers were friendly, approachable, communicative, and supportive. They greatly helped my Mother in Law and she enjoyed their company. We don't know what we would have done without them.

Thank you for your kind words E G and we are glad that we could help your mother-in-law when she came back home.
