My parents have used Blue Ribbon Community Care (Leicestershire & Rutland) for 5 years now. I cannot praise the carers highly enough. They are kind, compassionate and professional. Punctuality is at the forefront of their service. A note with carers names is given at the at the end of the week for the carers of the following week.
All the carers are competent in addressing my parents disabilities and contact me with any concerns they have immediately. They allow me to go away knowing my parents are in safe hands and are being cared for exceptionally well.
Thank you, Blue Ribbon Community Care (Leicestershire & Rutland). I have recommended the agency to many friends.

Blue Ribbon took on the care of my father whilst I went on holiday to New Zealand in March. On my return, we decided to continue using Blue ribbon. They offer a professional level of care and my father enjoys their visits.

My father is fiercely independent and rightly wishes to maintain his independence for as long as possible. He has increasingly found mobility an issue. Blue Ribbon are providing an hours support every day and they are paving to be highly professional and caring, in all they do. We are delighted with their service, which is provided in a friendly and competent way.

Care has been excellent. Staff are dedicated and treat my mother as if she were their own. They have almost become part of the family and take a great interest in her well-being. Staff are resourceful and deal with many issues as they arise. They provide great moral support to the rest of the family. I don't know where we would be without them.

My aunt and I have been very impressed with all the carers who supported my aunt from Blue Ribbon. They are all kind, compassionate and caring and helped to support my aunt to remain independent until she had her most recent stroke. The carers even came to visit her in the hospital and whilst at home kept her spirits up and did as much as they could to cajole her to eat more. Well done to you all and heartfelt thanks!

The care my mother receives is exceptional- all of the carers are punctual, assist her in all aspect of her needs. Her main carer treats her like she was her mother and always goes the extra mile. I had a battle with the county council to get this company to care for my mother- it was a battle I very fortunately won. I have recommended them to two other people and they are equally as happy with them as I am.

Blue Ribbon have enabled my father to continue living in his own home. He suffers with Dementia, and without their support I couldn't have coped. I live 25 miles away from him, and worked full time until recently. Dementia suffers are best kept in their own environment. I doubt he would have reached 90 years of age, without their support.

Blue Ribbon have looked after my mother for nearly four years and have provided outstanding standards of care. The staff are smart, prompt, caring and treat my mother with great dignity. The management are also excellent and are able to arrange extra visits at short notice if there is a problem. One of the team played a key role in my mother learning to walk again following a hip fracture.

The carers coming in each day have saved us worrying about whether Mother in Law is up and about. My Mother-in Law is very satisfied with the service she is receiving and no longer frets about trying to get her clothes on in the mornings. All round great service. Thank you Blue Ribbon.

The care from Blue Ribbon has been excellent since starting to come to me in January. I still need care, after badly breaking my arm below the shoulder. I may still need another operation. My thanks go to the team.
