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.

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

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.
We cannot fault the service that we have received - cheerful and helpful carers, always looking for your needs.

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.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.939 for Bluebird Care Welwyn & Hatfield is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 4.939

  • 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 Welwyn & Hatfield is based on 11 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.
