These guys are amazing! My mother was in hospital after an operation for weeks when fit to come home. Bluebird went out of their way to home assess and create a comprehensive care plan in order to get her home for Christmas with a full care package (one of the worst packages to cover).
They had everything
sorted within days and the carers have been fantastic with Mother who can be stubborn and was quite emotional after her ordeal at the hospital. I can't thank the manager, admin and carers enough for going out of their way for someone they didn't know. Everyone is lovely and it really is a family atmosphere, it is a pleasure to welcome them into our home and we trust them implicitly. Very highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Bluebird Care Stafford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 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: ( (101 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 101 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Bluebird Care Stafford is based on 17 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
