This is the first time we have used a care provider and are currently on the minimum package - one 30 minute call per day. Mum has settled very well with the visits and is getting to know members of the team - it helps to see some regular faces each week. Carers are punctual, professional and friendly. Likewise, office staff have been available and helpful when we have had any questions regarding the service. The app is a really useful tool to keep track of visits and any relevant comments.
Many thanks for completing this review for our home care service based near Basingstoke, North Hampshire and for your very kind words. Mum was reluctant to receive care and support at home initially but it's amazing how far we have come in a short time. Our care assistants love visiting weekly, and...
You have been very kind and helpful to my mother. Issues have been sorted out quickly with understanding.
Thank you for this very kind review of our home care service. We are delighted that you find the care and support at home we provide for your mother very helpful. We are so pleased with your comment about how we respond quickly and sensitively to any issues that arise. We try to be as responsive as possible to all requests.
Unfortunately, I have a predominance of the latter so far this year.
It is wonderful to hear that you are happy with the standards of care that our female care staff provide. We are always delighted to receive feedback on things you think we can improve, and we will certainly be looking at the point you raise. Thank you for taking the time to complete this review; it is much appreciated. Any further issues, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The only negative is that carers are often not given enough travel time between calls. This can affect my two up calls, where one person arrives but has to wait for the second carer to arrive.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review for our home care service. It is great to hear that you find our care assistants extremely professional which is helping you to remain in your own home. Thank you for raising the issue about travel time for double up visits. We always strive to...

All my carers are lovely. They are patient, kind and very caring. We have good chats and they listen to what I need. Very friendly all round.
Thank you for your wonderful words. We are truly happy that you find the care assistants lovely (we all think so too!). It is also very reassuring to know that you feel they are patient, kind and very caring. Fantastic to hear such positive things; we really appreciate you taking the time to complete this review.
The carers are kind and helpful. I do not always receive my choice of food. The carers are usually cheerful and chatty which I like.
When we first met, it was so emotional and lovely that we were able to provide care and support for you within 24 hours, so you didn't need to go into a care home. Since then, it has been so rewarding for us to be part of helping to keep your independence at home with the support of your family. We...

The management and staff of Bluebird Care all display a very caring and courteous manner, whilst exhibiting a professional attitude.

The carers show good nursing skills and their timing is pretty good as well! We continue to be grateful to them for their kindness and care.
Many thanks for taking the time to complete the review for our home care service based near Basingstoke, North Hampshire. We can’t believe it was four and a half years ago now since we first met with you both, and we were able to help you bring him home. It is always a pleasure to visit and provide...

Thank you for such positive feedback regarding our home care service based near Basingstoke, North Hampshire. It has been a pleasure supporting you since 2015, firstly with domiciliary care and more recently with live-in care to enhance your independence and quality of life whilst living in your...

Tamsin’s career moved into Dementia Healthcare in 2017 after gaining an NVQ3 in Dementia Care studies during the pandemic lockdowns, in her previous role as a Dementia Adviser in Oxfordshire. Before this, she had worked for many years as a CIPD-qualified Human Resources Generalist, working in Education/Care settings. Tamsin has always been a people-focused person, so the move into person-centred Dementia Care has been a natural progression as well as somewhat of a passion. Tamsin is delighted to be able to continue using her specialist experience, skills and dementia knowledge, with our customers affected by dementia. She sees supporting and advising their family members as an extremely important side of her role in this new position with Bluebird Care in West Berkshire and North Hampshire.
