When visiting my father I have met various carers provided by Bluebird and I have been impressed by their industry and by their friendliness. I have also been impressed by the back up offered by the staff in head office who have dealt with my queries promptly and courteously.

Our family were the main carers for my mother-in-law when she became a widow three years ago. After two years, her demands grew and we were finding it difficult coping. Reluctantly we phoned Bluebird and arranged for them to visit once a week. From the start, they were simply amazing and we gradually
increased the visits over time. When we went on holiday, we could check on her by reading the care notes that were made available on the phone app after each visit. She loved all of her “Bluebirds” and they, in turn, loved her back. She would check the rota to see who was coming to see her and the girls would put on her Shirley Bassey and listen to her stories. The kitchen was full of laughter when the Bluebirds came to visit. When her journey neared its end it was deeply touching to see how genuinely upset they all were that she was leaving us. I honestly don’t know how we would have coped without Bluebird and have nothing but praise for the loving care and attention that they gave her.

We hired Bluebird Care (Sutton) after being impressed with the care by a close family member. Bluebird Care (Sutton) well exceeded our expectations. The care was amazing: Two teams visiting my dad were highly professional, well trained and experienced but without being distant. All the carers were friendly
and helpful and took great care of him- especially in the last few weeks of his life. The office staff were helpful and efficient. I would not have any hesitation in recommending Bluebird Care (Sutton) to anyone.

I strongly object to the use of open pass! My mother and husband both need the services of Bluebird. Therefore I rely on the carer to record daily visits on paper. For my mother, I downloaded the app only to be told that I will have to pay extra to access info for which I already pay. Therefore I have
to check that my mother's needs are met physically rather than just reading the carers notes.

Always able to speak to staff without undue delay on the phone. Still, occasions when office time of visit for food preparation is changed, this is not relayed on, ie 'no call' advising of this causing concern, as this impacts evening call. Management sometimes do not appear to follow up their actions,
positive points are allocating key workers and being consistent with this standard, one of these in the preparation of food is to a high standard. Live in carer is well selected and more than meets requirements.

Bluebird Care were efficient and professional in gathering relevant details of the care package I required to ensure my mothers continued health whilst living alone in sheltered accommodation. Visiting Carers were kind and my mother was pleased to see them. Due to the fact that I live along way from
my mother I found increasing confidence in Bluebirds staff to cope with their clients deteriorating health requirements.

After the initial 'blip', which was dealt with in a professional way, we have been very happy with the service provided. We have noticed that regular input from non family members seems to have helped mum. She seems a bit 'brighter' and more together.

The client has been very happy with the level of service. Where there have been hiccups these have been quickly remedied, I think it would be helpful if the hand written logs that were discontinued were reinstated.
