Review from D R (Daughter of Client) published on 29 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been having support from Bluebird Care for quite a long time, just one hour a week, to help her with tasks such as ironing, hoovering, changing bed linen etc. She enjoyed their company, and found the girls pleasant and easy company to chat to, and looked forward to their visits. When she
was taken ill, however, they were exceptional. They willingly stayed with her, looking after her, offering reassurance, and liaising with medical teams and family. They later attended her funeral. Truly above and beyond.
Reply from Helen Rason, deputy manager at Bluebird Care Welwyn & Hatfield

We would like to say it was our pleasure to look after your mum. She was so independent but her stories were amazing. She will be greatly missed by all of us . Thank you for the lovely words

Bluebird in Hatfield are great. Often, it can be daunting to think about people coming into your home - but when you need it, you need it. Bluebird have been with my Mum for a year and it's so reassuring to know that someone is going in daily. In January, they really came through by making sure that
Mum had access to a doctor when she was ill. I came to see her but in the meantime, Bluebird were there for us. Great service.
Reply from Helen Rason, deputy manager at Bluebird Care Welwyn & Hatfield

Thank you for your kind words. Our carers do like to go above and beyond for all our customers to ensure they all receive the best care and have a fantastic experience with us. We are always here for both your mum and the family whenever you need us.

Our children had been saying for some time that I needed help to ease the burden on their dad.
Our older son did the research and came up with Bluebird Care.

The carers are all very nice, they often go above and beyond for me. Whenever I have a problem, even if it's not related to the care they will always help me out. They are currently helping me with moving property, due to it not being safe or suitable for myself anymore.

I have been with Bluebird for several months and enjoy meeting new staff. The staff pay attention to our wishes and will swap carers if we suggest a change of carer would be appreciated. I always ring and ask which Bluebird is coming so I can plan my cleaning or shopping plan. All in all, a pleasant
experience.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.939 for Bluebird Care Welwyn & Hatfield is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 4.939
