Review from Susan (Daughter of Client) published on 21 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was the prime carer for my father who had vascular dementia. As she gradually became unwell herself, Bluebird carers gradually took over her caring and household tasks. This was initially for an hour a day through to eventually 24 hour live in care. Throughout the transition, the part time
and full-time carers were very respectful, gentle and practical. They managed well the fine balance of retaining independence and providing support. The office staff were also very good, administrating sometimes unpredictable rotas.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I used this agency recently when I required care after a knee replacement operation. I live alone so good quality care was essential.
It was easy to arrange, a phone call brought a visit from a team leader and a detailed explanation of what the company offered.
Living alone, I particularly liked
that the care team would collect me from the hospital and I would return home with the carer and team leader. This went well and I soon became acquainted with my carer.
My carer shopped each day, prepared my meals and kept the house tidy, she reminded me to take my medication and she washed and ironed when necessary.
She did everything I would have done when fit and well.

My daughter felt I had reached an age when I needed some professional help from time to time. After discussions it was agreed that 1 1/2 hours twice a week would fit the bill and has worked well.

Bluebird Trafford are the most amazing company ever. You only ever hear about the bad things that carers so I was extremely worried having to rely on a care company to help with mums needs. I had no need to worry Bluebird Trafford have gone above and beyond in caring for mum they have treated her with
care Dignity and most of all treated her like she was their own mum. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they have helped to take some of the pressure off me . Mum has taken to all of the carers and even the office based staff look after mums needs, giving me ideas of different things that could help with mums needs. Truly amazing thank you so much for everything you have done.

I find the carers that visit me to be mostly local ladies who's desire is to keep me in whatever I ask them to do, they are very pleasant, helpful and willing. At present my walking is poor but otherwise I manage in the home and I feel that the walking gradually gets worse but I can shower, dress, do
my hair and generally keep myself clean by washing and ironing my own clothes and bedding and cooking meals myself. My daughter and her husband live locally and are both retired and take me for large food shopping to see I keep a good stock of food and i'm in daily contact with them or their families. That is for now but who knows what's for the future.

Bluebird carers are very reliable, they take time to understand what their customers want, they give meds correctly and are good company. They sometimes forget little things like having the TV mag and paper close at hand as my aunt cannot get up to get them. She is very satisfied with her care and any
complaint would be dealt with straight away.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.981 for Bluebird Care Trafford is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 53 Ratings = 4.981

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Bluebird Care Trafford is based on 9 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 = 4.9
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
