Generally a good level of service. The carers vary in experience and can vary in actions carried out. I don’t have a lot for them to do, but the majority carry out the tasks that I need help with. If I ask for help in other areas, the majority will do it for me.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I had to stay with my mum for 3-weeks during the Covid-19 lockdown because she'd had a fall and the paramedics did not want to take her to the hospital due to the coronavirus prevalent in the hospital. My mum had bruises, chest infection and a UTI. This then put me in the unusual position of seeing
the care given to my mum by Bluebird. I can only say at how impressed I was with the support, care and time given to her; nothing was too much trouble, and she received outstanding attentiveness at all times with compassion and patience. Even during these difficult times, Bluebird sent in regular carers so my mum knew most of them and was, therefore, comfortable to have them in her home.


I wholeheartedly recommend Bluebird as a company, and although not the best of circumstances to have been in at the time, I am pleased to have seen how kind and caring the staff are who work for them.


Thank you.

Bluebird Care is extremely efficient in delivering personal care to my father. They are very patient with him and sympathetic to his requirements. They all say how much they enjoy visiting him. They are very quick to respond to any queries we have had.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for Bluebird Care Central Bedfordshire is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.795 for Bluebird Care Central Bedfordshire is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 78 Ratings = 4.795

  • 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 Central Bedfordshire is based on 13 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.
