Over all time Bluebird Care Epping Forest, Harlow & Redbridge has 48 reviews.
Bluebird Care Redbridge were employed by me to do a 2-hour slot every day for my mother who has Alzheimer's. Bluebird provided a first class team of 3 carers, all of whom are fully dementia trained and very good at their job. I am extremely pleased with the service, having employed four previous providers for the 2-hour slot each day and all were unable to provide fully dementia trained carers. One company, cut the time at every visit and didn't turn up one day.
Thank you for the lovely comments regarding our team at Bluebird Care, its lovely to see the positive impact that our fully trained care staff have and enabling our customers to remain independent as possible receiving the care they need in the comfort of their own homes.
We were extremely pleased with the care provided to mum since February 2014. Your team gave us confidence that Mum was getting the very best support and we were particularly impressed with the communications and response from you all when we did have any worries or concerns.
Bluebird carers were brilliant with my dad. Only once did they not come. In the short time the ladies came to dad we had built up a good relationship with them.
Bluebird carers are wonderful, but the staff in the office do not phone me when there are changes every time.
I am cared for by Bluebird Care (Redbridge). They send me an excellent carer who is absolutely great. She is kind, thoughtful and very caring. I am house bound and at the beginning of this year I was quite ill. My GP wasn't very forth coming and the manager of Bluebird Care (Redbridge) contacted my GP surgery and on that same evening a team doctor visited me for treatment. I couldn't wish for a better care agency. A big thank you to Bluebird Care (Redbridge).
Many Thanks for the review left - It is always lovely to hear feedback about our carer's and we are sure to let them know.
My usual carer is excellent. Works hard and quickly and is always very willing to help and is friendly and supportive. They are all reliable.
The quality of my care has been sensitive and excellent. During the last 2 years I have been having to organise my move from a large house (lived in for 48 yrs) to a flat. A mammoth effort during which my wonderful carer was such a help as much psychologically as physical. It was of the utmost importance, therefore, that the agency provided me with a consistent carer so that we could get to know each other and understand each others needs and limits. The agency made this important task possible.
Many Thanks for taking the time to complete the review left on homecare.co.uk. We are delighted that you are so satisfied with the care provided. Your feedback will be passed onto the carer.
Staff at Bluebird are always helpful and friendly. I am informed if my regular "poppet" cannot attend on regular day/time. My care is domestic chores, I cannot manage - due to trapped sciatic nerve. "Poppet" is always cheerful and completes any (except using steps/ ladder etc.) tasks I ask, she is patient when I have to move. This carer is very thorough and particular regarding edges and corners. Only one thing I would like to change - please the format of invoice - by reading it. I always have to check if I owe or if I am paid up to date. One reason I prefer to pay by cheque!!! In the one hour the dining and sitting room is vacuumed, bath and toilet cleaned, floors washed and the kitchen.
Many thanks for this lovely review. We never undervalue the importance of any feedback from our customers and will look at the suggestions made regarding the invoicing process. We are very pleased to hear that the service provided is meeting our customers needs so well.

Meet the Team (7)
I joined Bluebird Care in 2017 having worked in care on and off since I was 17 years old.
Since joining the Southend and Rochford team I have worked hard to build good relationships with both staff and customers alike. This has enabled me to match the skills and abilities of the care worker with the needs of the customer, yielding maximum customer and staff satisfaction.
I consistently take part in regular training and I am currently working towards my QCF / NVQ Level 5 qualification.
As office manager of Bluebird Care Southend and Rochford, I oversee the professional and compassionate workings of both the office staff and care staff.
I joined Bluebird Care in October 2020 as an evening care assistant as I love helping people and making a difference in people's lives. Following a successful appraisal, I have been promoted to the new role of Rostering & Relationship Supervisor in November 2022. During my time to date, I love my job and the team I work with!
I have worked at Bluebird Care since 2018, during that time I gained the skills and experience to enable me to be promoted to the Care Supervisor role which I really enjoy and every day is different
I have recently been promoted to the role of Care Supervisor and really enjoy the role and supporting our customers.
It is important to us all that we dedicate our full-time roles to the management of Live in Care for our customers and our Live in Care assistants, to ensure this aspect of our business is managed effectively and to the highest of quality standards.
Live in Care is classed as a significant purchase, and whilst more cost-effective than a residential setting the management of each individual Live in Care package requires a lot of time and attention. If you would like to learn more about how we manage our Live in Care Package and support our Live in Care assistant please navigate to our Live in Care FAQ's under the useful information tab on our website.
Whilst we are all well experienced in this service, we never lose sight of the difference we make in our customers ’ lives. Being able to remain safe at home is a dream of many of our customers and their families. We work to make that dream a reality, ensuring that the customer is safe, happy and living their life to their full potential in the familiar surroundings of their own home.
I have been at Bluebird Care since 2014 and I am fortunate to love my job and be a part of an ‘outstanding’ team. My role is more than a “traditional finance” role, which makes it a very rewarding role – I get the opportunity to meet customers and employees and it’s an amazing feeling knowing that as a team we have made a positive difference to someone’s life and been there to support them – may that be our customers, their families or a Bluebird Care employee
