She is friendly and very caring. She treats my husband with respect and understands his variable needs. The service we receive is professional and always reliable. I have complete trust in her care.
The service provided by the office is always efficient and pleasantly undertaken.
Thank you for your kind words and I am pleased to hear from you. I will pass your messages to our Care Team...
I require some personal care (washing) and also domestic chores. These services are always carried out well, with a friendly manner and conversation.
Thanks so much for the great review! I'm glad our work met your expectations, and I look forward to keeping up the good work and will forward it to our care team.
The overeall level of care and companionship offered to my aunt is excellent. The regular carers that attend are incredibly understanding of her needs and easily engage in conversation whilst offering the support she requires.
Thank you so much for your kind review.I will pass your feedback to our Care Team.This feedback will motivate us to improve and go the extra mile.regardsVenkat
Bluebird Care Croydon are certainly a notch more expensive than other agencies, but they have been better by far. The girls have been warm and friendly and seem to enjoy what they do. English never an issue. The management is good, never a problem on the phone sorting anything out. Staff turnover seems low, after 5 months we are still seeing the same staff and this has given them a chance to build rapport with my mother.
Thank you very much for your kind review. I will share it with our care team. Regards
I decided to use Bluebird Care when I got a job opportunity in Australia. I struggled to decide between whether to take my mom to Australia with me or get her into care. She loved her home and I didn't want to take that away from her. After research, I decided to seek services from Bluebird Care. The level of professionalism when it comes to rendering service is just incredible. Even with the distance, I'm updated on everything that has to do with Mom's care. The carers are so caring and make Mom feel so loved that she doesn't feel my absence. I will choose Bluebird over and over again, it's definitely worth every penny.
Thank you for a kind review. Will pass on your comments to our care team.
Bluebird Care Croydon has been providing seven days a week care and companionship services for Mother since May 2024. The experienced staff are polite, helpful and friendly with many of them going out of their way to ensure Mum's every need is catered for. Would I recommend? For sure!
Hi Andrew, thank you so much for your positive feedback. Our care staff will be pleased to hear this. Your review will help us to improve our quality of service. Regards, Venkat.
For the eighteen months Mum received care from Bluebird Care, they provided reliable and good quality care. They were responsive to our needs and provided accurate time bills - very different from the previous care company we'd used.
Thank you very much for your kind review. At Bluebird we are committed to provide the best service that we could do. I will pass your comments to our team.
The management team are equally friendly and supportive.
Thank you very much for your kind review. I will pass on your comments to the care staff. Regards, Venkat.
Excellent support with a smile.
Thanks for your kind response. I will pass your comments on to our care team.
It's great to have the same person coming each week, no need to keep explaining where everything is, what needs doing.
Many thanks Bluebird team, you're an excellent company with fantastic staff.
Thanks, Susan, for your kind feedback and will pass your comments to the care team.
When my mum started to deteriorate, the carers were very proactive in contacting me with their concerns. Thank you.
Thanks, Sally, for your kind feedback. I will pass your feedback on to our care team.
They are so patient and compassionate, it's like family. Thank you!
Thank you, Jessica, for your kind feedback. I will pass your feedback to the team.
My father had weekly help from Bluebird Care. The carer was always polite, attentive, hard-working and adaptable. The office staff were helpful and the admin side of things worked smoothly. I was very happy with the service provided by them.
Thanks, for your kind review. I will pass it on to my team.
The carers who support my mum are kind, compassionate, trustworthy, reliable, punctual and patient. My mum really looks forward to spending time with them and their excellent support gives me peace of mind. The managerial staff at Bluebird also provide an excellent, responsive service, including arranging cover at short notice when needed. They are polite, courteous, efficient and friendly. Thank you for an all-round excellent service.
Hi Andrew, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I will pass your comments to the care experts who are serving your mother.
The manager and all staff are helpful and always polite.
Two staff members in particular are the usual carers who provide cover.
Overall, am very happy with the care provided by this company.
Thank you very much for your review. I will pass on your comments to our care experts.
Bluebird has been caring for my mum for over 10 years and has always put my mum's needs as a priority. The carers are kind, caring and hardworking, they are friendly but professional. Sometimes it is like having a friend care for my mum and I feel my mum is in safe hands. Not only do the carers go above and beyond their job, but the office staff too, nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you very much for the review. I will pass this message on to the care experts.
The office team are really helpful and supportive and do all they can to get things right for you. They fully understand the anxiety families feel when handing over care of their loved one to others.
Can't compare cost relating to other agencies as did not look. A lifelong friend works in another branch office and I know that the carers are vetted and trained well.
I will pass on your feedback to our carers who are working with your father.
kind regards
Venkat Balla
The staff seem very good and provide her with the care at home that she requires.
She is always happy to see people and seems to have adjusted to having different carers on different days.
The only thing I have had a few issues with are the invoices, which quite often have double charges, but when I call to pay this is quicker sorted.
Thanks for the review.
We will try to avoid the invoicing errors that are happening due to software setup issues.
Very good.
Thank you for your kind review, we will pass this on to our care staff.
