Blue Ribbon has been looking after my father with dementia for the last 7 years and has always provided the best care possible for him. There is always lots of communication between the staff and myself to make sure my father has everything he needs. I live 45 minutes away so having Blue Ribbon look
after him has been a godsend as I know he is in good hands.
Thank you

A first-class organisation. Extremely well run with excellent carers and sensitive to elderly clients. Very helpful in all aspects of daily life and their dignified approach is to be commended. Always a pleasure to see my carers.

The carers looked after my wife at home, always with cheer and dignity, for a few years as she deteriorated with dementia and other problems.
My wife was happy to see them each day.
I can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having suffered the services of Council provided care - I turned in desperation to Blue Ribbon for the care of my mother firstly on a part-time basis and then full-time. Their management are so willing to help, go the extra mile, and be flexible and arrange things very quickly when needed. What can
I say about the carers - absolutely outstanding - the care, attention and company they provided to my mother in the last months of her life was exemplary and far beyond my expectations. When my mother slept they cleaned, did the washing and tidied for my mum. The detailed notes they kept on every event was left in the house at all times so I knew exactly what had happened and when. They could be totally fully trusted with my mother's food, cleanliness and tablets. It was lovely going to my mother seeing her peaceful, content and receive the briefing from the carers. Have no hesitation in using Blue Ribbon - outstanding.

My elderly mother has multiple disabilities but is fiercely independent. For years she had refused to even consider having a carer. However since February, she has been receiving personal care from Blue Ribbon, and now has a new lease of life. She loves her carers and loves the fact that they help her
to maintain her independence. Since the Covid-19 lockdown Blue Ribbon have literally been life-savers. I can not recommend them too highly.

I have used Blue Ribbon for a year now, to supply carers for my father who suffers from dementia.
Initially, the management took great care to match my father with suitable carers and also they aim to supply as few changes of carers as possible to cover holidays and sick leave etc.
All the carers
provided have been efficient, kind, sympathetic and caring in a way that has given my father a new lease of life.
Together with good communication from management and carers, I am very reassured.

The carer was very helpful and always had a positive attitude. We could not have managed, let alone enjoy the holiday without her.

I am perfectly happy with the service. The carers know what they are doing and make an excellent job of it. One of the carers has just recently saved my life by calling for an ambulance when I stopped breathing. I felt far more secure in my predicament with a trained carer who knew exactly what to do
in what was a life and death situation. Thank you very much.

I would definitely recommend Blue Ribbon. My mother's carers are very personable, caring, reliable and trustworthy and it is evident that they enjoy their job.
I have established a very good relationship with her two regular carers (who always 'go the extra mile') and the office manager and nothing
is too much trouble.
She now needs extra support at the day centre she attends and one of her carers spends time with her there too.
We used Blue Ribbon for live-in care last year while we were on holiday. The lady who came was 'a treasure' who looked after my mother and her bungalow to perfection. My mother was singing her praises and didn't want her to leave. We have booked her again for this year.
My mother has dementia so she often doesn't remember her carers names but she enjoys their company, is very well looked after and always has good things to say about them. They, in turn, like being with her and liaise with me regularly.

My Son has early onset of Alzheimer's disease. Blue Ribbon staff provide a very caring service and I cannot praise them enough. My Son is cared for in a very professional way. He can be difficult but the carers always provide a wonderful service.

They are very good I have confidence in the people who run things making sure a carer turns up. The specific carer allocated to me is truly great and is backed up a newish member of the management team who has been great too. It's a relief knowing she's there for holidays etc.

My father in law was cared for by a lady from Blue Ribbon. She was very kind, caring, gentle and able. She became a friend to my father in law and the family as well as being his carer. I found Blue Ribbon very prompt and efficient in finding us a carer, I would highly recommend his carer and Blue Ribbon.

Dad had hospice at home treatment and as part of the package, he was provided with three care visits per day.
All the carers that visited were polite, caring and very knowledgeable.
Dad's face would light up when they walked into the room.
The carers made a real difference to dad's last precious
days - huge thanks from me (daughter) too as you made my life much more tolerable in what were very stressful times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we realised that mummy now needed 24-hour care, we absolutely did not want her to go into a home, as this has always been her biggest fear,
We met with the organiser, who really put our minds at rest and assured us that we could train the carer to attend to mummy's needs the way she likes to be
helped.
We couldn't be happier with our carer. There is a huge relief we feel knowing that she is there and will answer the phone to us and let us know what is happening. Mummy is so relaxed and happy. She is eating better than she has for years and I have been able to concentrate on my children, knowing mummy is safe.
