Review from C G (Client / Service User) published on 29 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Living alone and always having been very independent, I was shattered to discover I could not manage without intimate personal care. After all the horror stories in social media, I was very concerned that I would not be well treated.

I could not have been more wrong. From the very start, I was treated with kindness, understanding and respect for me as a person. They support me in my need to do so much as I can for myself without hurrying me. Although I have friends and family who visit socially, I look forward to my thrice-daily visits from the Bluebird carers.

Augusta John Job Title: Care Supervisor Joined: 2025
Augusta John

I joined Bluebird Care on the 8th of December 2025. I joined Bluebird because I used to work as a care assistant for a previous company a few years ago, which is where I started my career in care at the age of 18/19. I have worked in supported living for the majority of my healthcare journey, especially during COVID-19. In 2024, I joined a company that provided care to children with special and complex needs as their supervisor, which I enjoyed at the time, and I really learned a lot during my time there.

However, I missed the interaction and passion that came with providing care to the elderly. I'm grateful to Bluebird for taking a chance on me. I am now a few months away from turning 30 in August and also expecting my firstborn child in a few months, which I am excited about but also very nervous about. I am looking forward to motherhood, and I am grateful for the support system I have. I pray that God gives my husband and me the ability to raise this child in his guidance and to provide them with a comfortable life that we didn’t have growing up.
