Bluebird Care Bromley is a premium home care agency dedicated to preserving the independence and improving the quality of life of vulnerable adults – such as those with challenges around mobility, sensory impairment and dementia – by offering sustainable solutions to some of the problems often associated with frailty, living alone and isolation.

With meticulous attention to infection prevention and control measures, customers can rest assured their care assistants are aware of the risks and how they can be mitigated.

The agency provides a range of home care services, including daily visits, overnight support and live-in care, typically to assist people with personal care and hygiene, meal preparation, managing and administering medication, light housework, shopping and accompaniment on trips outside the home.

However the aim is to do more than simply deliver practical support that meets people’s basic needs: staff aim to go the extra mile so that the customers really get the most out of life – for instance, doing crosswords together, partnering for Scrabble or bridge, resurrecting old hobbies or pursuits, gardening and even assisting with technology, such as laptops, mobile devices and email.

All of this offers older adults in Bromley a realistic alternative to residential care, in order that clients can continue to live independent and connected lives in the comfort and safety of home, surrounded by cherished memories and where important social networks can be preserved.

All care assistants are carefully vetted, trained to a high-level and regularly supervised by an experienced, professional and local office team never more than a few miles away.

Mum's carer is absolutely wonderful. Mum describes her as extremely capable, efficient, friendly, good company, all around a nice person. She's become a good valued friend. We count ourselves very fortunate to have been paired with such a lovely carer.

I have had ladies from Bluebird for three months now, for one hour each morning. At the beginning I used to receive a letter telling me who would be coming and at what time, this has now stopped. The ladies are kind and helpful, but I do wish I knew what time they were coming. I am happy for any time
between 8am - 9:30 but 10am is rather late for my breakfast.

Pleased with the experience as I usually have the same carer coming to the home. Sometimes appointments have to be altered and I'm not always informed by phone about this.

My mother has been receiving home care visits from Bluebird for over three years. I have found that the standard and consistency of care provided has been exemplary. Mum's main carer has been consistently there for Mum and providing feedback as necessary. Thank you all so much for all the hard work.
Reply from Steve Davie, Director at Bluebird Care Bromley

Thanks so much, David, for such an appreciative review. We will do our utmost to keep up the good work with your mum.

Review from Dr John C (Son of Client) published on 6 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother received a daily care package from Blue Bird Care at Bromley. This care package lasted for some two years. During this time, we found that the regular carers assigned for our mother were extremely professional in the way they delivered their care. Also, they were very good in their communications
to us, updating us on needs and requirements, for our mother, as they developed.
Likewise, the care supervisor and manager of the Bromley branch of Blue Bird were diligent and extremely helpful with advice and also helping with administration such as attendance allowance.
Overall, Blue Care at Bromley is recommended!
Reply from Ben Davie, Director at Bluebird Care Bromley

Thank you very much for this review, John! We're very pleased to learn that you were happy with the service and really appreciate the time taken to submit your feedback. It was a pleasure to look after your mother.

Overall service is satisfactory. Frequent changes of carer are difficult. I recently had eight different staff in one week and two of whom were new to me.
Timings change vary up to one hour and I would prefer morning visit to be about 10 am and evening around 6 pm.
Reply from Ben Davie, Director at Bluebird Care Bromley

Dear John, many thanks for bringing these issues to our attention. We’re sorry to learn things have fallen short of your expectations. As we’re visiting twice a day, we allocate a team of carers so there’s usually a familiar face as a back-up if needed. We can see that in May-21 we paid you 59 visits with 10 different carers, but 8 in a single week is more than we’d like. Unfortunately, one of your regular carers recently relocated, so we’ve done our best to plug the gaps while we look for a permanent solution. Re timings, we plan a +/- 15min window on either side of a visit to allow for variable traffic conditions and delays elsewhere, though sometimes this will not be enough. We have you scheduled for 10 am and 6 am every day apart from Thu/Fri when 2 visits are a little later, primarily due to recent changes to carers’ availability, but our Coordinators have received the message and are on the case. We hope you find that the situation improves during the month of June. Please let us know.

I am truly grateful to Bluebird's carer and all other staff who continue to go above and beyond to look after my mum's daily care. This last year has been so difficult for everyone, yet this brilliant team has never let us down. There have even been a few laughs along the way, lots of kindness, and
of course, the all-important diligence. Can't recommend it enough! Thank you.
Reply from Ben Davie, Director at Bluebird Care Bromley

Thank you for taking the time to pen this review, and for your enthusiastic feedback; we really appreciate it. This last year has been one of the unprecedented challenges, but we've got through it (well, almost - we hope!) thanks to the collective efforts and dedication of our frontline care staff and back-office support team, who have stuck it through, unphased, it what must have been the most difficult year in living memory to be working in the healthcare sector. We're very glad to read the service to Mum hasn't suffered, despite all the challenges thrown at us!

We are happy and comfortable with our carers. They carry out the tasks we have asked them to do, at the same time as being friendly and chatty. We like the process of 'openness' so we can be kept informed.
Reply from Ben Davie, Director at Bluebird Care Bromley

Many thanks for your valued feedback, very pleased to read you're happy with the service. Regarding your last comment, I think you're referring to open pass, the family app side of the PASSsystem, our digital Care Plan management platform, which gives approved relatives, friends and advocates access to daily care notes, the weekly roster and the full care plan. This app is a standard feature of our service and is free to use for all customers/family groups, should they wish. Many thanks once again.

Mums care has been excellent throughout - she has had several carers visiting, and all have been thorough, respectful, but friendly. Reasons have been given when carers have not been able to attend, and alternatives have been introduced.

My wife is a dementia patient, so far me the most important aspects of care is interaction and communication.

Good in some way so I can see someone is coming in daily. Should have clean flat and bathroom on a daily basis. Now it seems like I don't have a carer daily. At present I can see laundry bag is full, the floor is dirty so carer should have looked at this. Since I have not had a shower for the last 3
days now due to bathroom repairs so carer should have focussed on different things like sweeping floor, cleaning the toilet, change bed liner, clean dirty
Reply from Ben Davie at Bluebird Care Bromley

Thank you for your feedback. While you do have visits Mon-Fri, it seems housework has only been requested on certain days, though we acknowledge that on the days on which it is carried out, it is not being done to a high enough standard. We apologise and will be in touch to discuss how we can make your care plan clearer in this regard. We also note that your openPASS access (our mobile app which facilitates online access to the weekly roster, care plan and daily care notes) has not been fully activated. If you would like to complete the process, this will grant trusted friends and relatives full access to see everything that is happening on a daily basis, if this would be helpful in ensuring that the service is meeting your/their expectations. Thank you once again for your feedback and we will be in touch shortly.
