Overall Experience

All then carers have been lovely! Having a particularly challenging time at the moment, and couldn't manage without help to do basic tasks such as eating, going to the toilet and bathing. Also, it's nice to have company.

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. This is really invaluable, and we always ensure it's passed on to the care team who do such a wonderful job. We are so pleased you are enjoying the company too.

Overall Experience

Bluebird has been an invaluable help over the last year during this covid period when I have been personally unable to travel to visit my parents as often as I would normally. It eases the worry knowing that they will be taken to all appointments that come up and visited in their home to make sure all is well. Communication is always easeful and carers friendly helpful and capable.

Review from Dorothy G (Daughter of Client) published on 6 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bluebird are very easy to communicate with. They listen carefully to concerns or requests and always strive to meet needs and match carers to clients. The carers are very pleasant, caring, discreet and only too happy to do anything asked of them. Our experience of dealing with Bluebird has been very positive. I have already recommended them to an elderly family friend and would not hesitate to do so again to anyone else. Thank you!

Reply from Jane Perry, Director at Bluebird Care Glasgow South

Thank you so much for our 5-star review, Dorothy. This means a lot to us and helps others decide when choosing care for a loved one. We are so pleased to be able to support your mum to remain independent at home. Your recommendations are highly valued as word of mouth is better than any advert we may place. Thanks again.

Review from Frances T (Daughter of Client) published on 25 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bluebird Care provided care for my 91-year-old mother after she moved into sheltered housing accommodation, a few days before Lockdown. The service was only to be provided for a twelve-week period for my mum before being changed over to East Renfrewshire. They were truly amazing and I cannot fault them in any way. My mum was obviously in a very strange environment, to begin with, and the carers were very reassuring to her. My mum felt respected, well cared for and always said ‘they’re all lovely lasses’.

I have no hesitation in recommending Bluebird Care to others.

The carers I have coming in to get mum up in the morning and washed and ready for bed at night are very professional and also caring. They work around mums specific needs very well. They are friendly and get on well with mum and also the rest of my family. I couldn't fault them at all. The office also responds to any changes or questions I have promptly.

Overall Experience
This is a difficult time for everyone but especially difficult for the elderly and their carers.
Given these circumstances, I am generally happy with the direct care provided to my dad. There have been some understandable staffing issues which is not ideal as dad was initially advised that he would have continuity of carers. This is the single biggest issue for him and I look forward to life returning to some normality such that this element of dad's care can be addressed.

Anytime I have to ask a question of management or seek management's advice I have been very happy with the responses.

Reply from JOHN PERRY, Director at Bluebird Care Glasgow South

Thank you for taking the time to do this review on behalf of your father. I take on board your comments about continuity and would certainly hope that once we are back to a 'degree of normality, post Covid' that your Dad's service will settle down with the minimum amount of carers advised. We pride...

Overall Experience
Our carer visits my Mum twice a week to provide general assistance around the house, companionship and shopping. She has visited Mum for several years and is always a ray of sunshine and enthusiasm. She liaises directly with us as appropriate and clearly cares for Mum and thinks what is best for her.

Bluebird was recommended to us by our Social Worker and we are glad we found them. Thanks for everything you do, particularly in these challenging times.

Reply from Jane Perry, Director at Bluebird Care Glasgow South

Thank you so much for your feedback which we value greatly. Delighted to hear Mum enjoys the visits and you get the updates you need via our carer. Will ensure your kind words are passed on to her.

Overall Experience

Cannot recommend highly enough as Mum's two carers have been absolute lifesavers. We lost Dad this year and her carer was in attendance the day he passed away and was wonderful. Since then, both carers have been as much support as family and I don't know what we would have done without them. They manage to cheer Mum up and keep her safe. They offered the same amount of care and kindness to Dad also.

Overall Experience

We used Bluebird Care only for a short period, but they were able to help out in a time of crisis and brought immense peace, reassurance and care to my Dad.

The manager could not have been more prompt in her response, nor more helpful in providing a service.

My Dad enjoyed having them with him.

I had no personal interaction with the carers, and do not always have the information from Dad, therefore I cannot really express views on some of these questions with much real knowledge.

Review from Maria and Linda (Niece of Client) published on 16 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are extremely happy with the care that our Aunt has been receiving from Bluebird Care for the past year.

The carers are all very professional, courteous, caring and efficient and look after our aunt with great kindness and their attention to detail are to be recommended.

If they have any concerns at all we are informed immediately and they normally offer a solution that perhaps we would not have thought of ourselves due to their excellent training in the care of the

elderly.

We have no hesitation in recommending Bluebird Homecare in Clarkston as the care offered gives us peace of mind that our Aunt is being well looked after when we are not there and also you can

tailor the package to suit the users needs in respect of visiting times and length of visit.

Overall Experience

Bluebird Care has delivered a fantastic level of service not only to my parents but to us as a family. Their team has enabled a degree of freedom from a life that was constrained by continual care to my mum and dad that both suffer from a form of dementia.

Their awesome staff are carefully selected before employment and matched to each service users needs. They have almost become members of the family are known and trusted by us all.

Having had bad experiences with another care provider, it is a breath of fresh air to receive a care service which is able to meet our needs and consistency delivers on promises. I would have no hesitation to refer them to anyone else.
