Over all time Bluebird Care Milton Keynes has 35 reviews.
Every carer was polite, professional and genuinely kind. They made dad feel safe and comfortable while always preserving his dignity, which meant so much to him.
We're incredibly grateful for the care and reassurance they've given our family and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad your dad made a great recovery and our carers very much loved caring for him. You know where we are in future if needs arise.
We could not ask for anything more. The way the carers look after their clients is second to none. The whole team which includes management & office staff are fantastic. They always go above & beyond what I would have expected from a service such as this. 100% confidence in recommending them.
Thank you so much for your lovely words and review. We love what we do and it is a privilege to look after your friend. I will pass your kind words on to our team. Thank you again :)
We have only been with this service for three weeks and so far everything is good. Carers are very nice. Lile having the same carers as that helps my husband knowing who is coming to help him.
Thank you for your kind words we love looking after and supporting your husband. Merry Christmas to you both.
It was my first time leaving my Mum with Carers and I felt so at ease. The peace of mind was priceless. The team at Bluebird made everything so straight forward for Mum and I. Mum had such great care for the 7 days whilst I was away and I will certainly contact Bluebird again.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are pleased we were able to help out in the short term and that you had the reassurance!
At the initial meeting all the information I needed was explained. Arrangements were very flexible and easily changed. It was good to be able to speak with a real person each time I needed to phone. I was kept informed in good time of who the carers would be and the time at which they would come.
Our daughters arranged the care for my husband and myself while I was in hospital. I was my husband's carer and it was not known how much I would be able to do when I returned home. As it happened I was able to do more than expected and so we only had Bluebird about two months. I would not hesitate to ask for help from them again in the future if necessary.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is great to hear how well the team communicate and I will pass this on to Gemma, who I believe completed the initial assessment. We are very pleased you are back to full independence and wish you all the best for the future.
Her carer is consistently patient, kind, and professional. It's clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with my mum, and that warmth makes all the difference. From the very first assessment through to the ongoing care, everything has been smooth, reassuring, and straightforward. I feel so supported and confident knowing my mum is in such good hands. I am just about to add some more care the the package already in place and will increase the care as time goes on. Thank you, Bluebird Care - you've given me peace of mind and made a real difference to our lives.
Special shout-out to two members of staff!
This is such lovely feedback - Which I have shared with the team, especially Mum's two regular carers. We really try to base everything we do on friendship building and try and take away the feeling of 'being cared for'. I am so pleased this is working for your Mum and you have some reassurance. Thanks again for a lovely review. Kelly
Her carer brings warmth and kindness, along with a big heart full of happiness when she cares for my Mum. We are truly grateful as it gives me a little reprieve and ensures Mum's needs are fully met.
We also benefit from the live-in carer package a few times a year, which is wonderful. As a family we get to spend time together and have some respite whilst Mum has a break from us! Mum is thoroughly spoilt with the attention she receives from two staff members in particular.
When we first contacted Bluebird Care we received clear communication and details on what they could offer. We have always felt listened to and our situation and the needs of the family understood. Another staff member is approachable and always returns messages. The care has always been provided regardless of sick leave and annual leave.
We would recommend Bluebird care.
I was in the dark regarding the care system, which was new to me, when it came to choosing a care company to meet my dad's needs. He came to live with us after being a resident in a care home for seven months but I was unable to provide personal care on my own. Following an initial meeting with the supervisor and my dad, I went ahead and booked Bluebird Care. The whole team of carers who visit are amazing and I have every confidence in them. Nothing is too much trouble, arrive with a smile on their face and a cheery "Good morning". They make sure dad is comfortable before they leave. I have also used their 'sit in service' on a couple of occasions, whilst attending my own appointments. It is comforting to know that dad is being looked after and I can concentrate on myself for a while.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review. I am so pleased that we have been able to help and that your Dad has been supported so well by our care team.
Bluebird Care Milton Keynes are first class. I have nothing but praise for the care providers and contact with the office staff. From first contact to date, Bluebird have been totally professional and nothing is too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending Bluebird Care Milton Keynes.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I am delighted that you are so pleased with the service provided.
The team have been highly responsive to our changing care needs and has managed to make additional visits on all the occasions I have requested them, including to and from hospital appointments. As the sole family carer for my mother, this has been extremely valuable. My mother finds the Bluebird carers very reassuring and kind. On the few occasions when I have had cause to comment on little lapses these have been dealt with immediately. Communication with the team is very good indeed.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to hear that you have been so happy with the service and communication with the team. Many Thanks
The Bluebird Team has been supportive when helping my Dad with personal care, and have taken the time to get to know him and his ways. Everyone who has supported Dad has shown patience and respect, and it's reassuring to know he's in safe hands.
Thank you for your kind words. We really enjoy looking after your dad.
Gives me such peace of mind knowing he is so well cared for would highly recommend.
They think for themselves and go above and beyond and are really caring.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so happy you are happy with our team. We really enjoy taking care of your dad.
The team of carers came to assist my husband (who has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's) and myself (after a total hip replacement op), from 15th June 2024. They have been a fantastic team of Carers who have shown so much care, compassion and friendliness to us both. They have been such a help to my husband who enjoys walking with our daughter's dog. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you very much. Would recommend Bluebird Carers to anyone who needs help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. I am so glad to hear that the carers have done such a great job for you both.
Bluebird Care provide friendly, professional care and support. They are flexible in the tasks they undertake and in adjusting visit times to suit the client. We would certainly recommend them as a care agency.
Thank you so much for this great review. I am delighted that you are happy with the service we have provided.
We have been so impressed with the care provided to our elderly parents by Bluebird Care over the last two years since Mum and Dad moved to a care village and have needed between two and four calls a day to address their needs, including Alzheimer's. The carers administer medications and carry out personal care and domestic tasks with compassion and patience. We are also so impressed with the management at Bluebird Care: the supervisor liaises closely with me and my sister ensuring we are aware immediately of any issues of concern and she works with us to resolve them quickly and effectively. She ‘knows’ our parents and has made such efforts to get to know and work with us. This is so crucial when you are relying on others to provide critical daily care to your parents without which they could not live independently in a care village in their own home in their late 80s. We cannot praise the supervisor enough for facilitating this and giving us the confidence to rely on her and her team to support our parents.
Thank you so much for leaving such a positive and detailed review. I am delighted to hear that you are happy with the care your parents have received and with how you have been supported by our supervisor. Many thanks.
The previous carers she had had case to complain regularly but I can rest easy with Bluebird and do not have any further stress about whether they will visit or not. Thank you Bluebird I am more than happy with your service and would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. I am delighted that you are happy with the care provided by Bluebird Care and I will be sure to pass your thanks on to the carers in the team.
When my aunt recovered and could manage her own personal care again, Bluebird were very flexible and remained supportive. My aunt was very impressed with all of her carers.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I am delighted that we were able to help support your aunt in her recovery and that she was happy with all of her carers.
Bluebird Care is absolutely amazing and the staff have built up such a good relationship with my mum from day one. All the staff are extremely well trained in their care which has enabled a better quality of life for both my mum and stepdad.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! Our team takes pride in providing an excellent customer experience, keeping people safe and happy in their homes and we're glad you feel we do this well!
The care provided has been friendly and encouraging, always happy to do a crossword with Mum or just sit and chat.
Thank you, Bluebird.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am delighted that we have been able to help.
I felt particularly lucky as I had continuity of carers, ie in the main, I was sent the same 3/4 girls each week, which makes life a lot easier as one didn’t have to explain everything from scratch each time. The carers were lovely to have about the place and were very willing to do any little job in addition to the personal care, which was the prime reason I needed them.
The staff at the office were brilliant in that there was no fuss if I needed to change a time for hospital visits etc., and the issue was dealt with on the spot. I would have no hesitation in turning to Bluebird again, nor in recommending them to others.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. I am delighted that you were so happy with the care and support you received from Bluebird Care.

After graduating from university many years ago with a degree in Law, David joined the Ministry of Defence where he performed many roles including spells in consultancy, policy advice, the press office and as the senior civil servant overseeing Schools for the children of British military schools overseas. In 2011, he led a team to reduce the size of the MOD civil service by 25% and as part of that work managed to devise his own exit, so that he could change career and open Bluebird Care (Milton Keynes). His interest in the care sector started several years earlier when his sister suffered a catastrophic accident which left her quadriplegic. David is married with two grown-up children, five grandchildren and a dog. Hailing from Wales, David enjoys all sports and has had a lifelong love affair with Liverpool Football Club, which has caused him enjoyment and heartache in equal measure.
