The agency offers a unique choice of flexible homecare and support services tailored to the needs of the individual, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The service can range from a 30-minute visit, to a night-sitting service, to 24-hour live-in care.

Bluebird Care has recently launched a Health & Wellbeing Checks Service for all new and existing customers. This new service comprises of a 30-minute appointment from specially trained ‘Care Champions’, who visit once a week to check their customer’s vital signs, such as blood pressure, alertness and breathing, and find out more about their overall wellbeing.

All Bluebird Care employees undergo extensive training in all aspects of care provision and have had an enhanced DBS check.

It is the attention to detail that makes Bluebird Care different and this, in turn, enables their customers to live safely in the comfort of their home.

Bluebird have been nothing but supportive since the first phone call I made to them enquiring about their services. They have endeavoured to accommodate all the increasing support we needed over the weeks. From the initial assessment meeting to the ongoing business of arranging rotas, the administrative
personnel were professional, efficient, patient and reassuring. The carers themselves were all, without fail, punctual, compassionate, friendly, incredibly competent and made the whole family feel our father was in good hands. The fact that Dad felt this too, was the most important thing.

All carers have been fantastic and supported Mum in a very respectful and personal way; making an effort to find out her interests and what is important to her. The office also communicates quickly and efficiently, supporting the family and the carers on a day to day basis.
One particular carer has
been outstanding!

Bluebird Care is an excellent care company.
My husband has been cared for by them for the last 12 months and has had excellent care from all the staff. They treat us like one of the family we would recommend them to anyone. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

My aunt has used Bluebird Care for some time. Recently she has deteriorated and they have stepped up to support both of us, increasing care visits with little, if any, notice. All carers are pleasant, professional and extremely kind individuals looking after my aunt as I would myself. I cannot recommend
them highly enough. They are supportive in a crisis but don't make it into a drama.

Bluebird Care (Stafford) has provided an excellent standard of care. They have repeatedly identified and informed family of safeguarding issues. They have been fully supportive in addressing these, not only in the provision of their service but in contacting and dealing with other agencies, including
taking the lead in pulling together a case conference. Staff have been committed to providing care and have been dedicated to this. Would fully recommend the services offered.

The care provided to my aunt in the very first week of Bluebird's involvement was over and above that normally expected. The carer found my aunt on the floor, unable to get up, but only needed a little support. She was distressed and required some personal care too and this was provided sensitively
and professionally. A big thank you to that Carer!

I have found Bluebird Care (Stafford) to be a caring compassionate organisation who take the time to listen to the opinions and feelings of both clients and relatives.
The carers go above and beyond in their interactions with my mum and my dad who is living with her and who has his own difficulties
and I have peace of mind knowing who is going into the home each day.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Bluebird Care Stafford is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 113 Ratings = 5

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Bluebird Care Stafford is based on 19 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
