I had my hospital appointment brought forward and needed to get care for my husband who is bedridden. I also have a son who has challenging behaviour issues. I looked online and found Bluebird Care. I contacted them and spoke to a lovely lady Who offered to come that afternoon for a preliminary set
up visit and to see what our requirements were. This done we were set up on their system. I was very happy with the care they gave my husband and myself whilst I was recovering from my operation and I won't hesitate to approach them again in the future. Each member I've spoken to over the phone has been so cheerful and helpful. Thank you all.

We have been using Bluebird care since December 2024 and from the outset they have been amazing. The support to both myself and my Mum has been outstanding. They are very patient with Mum who can be unpredictable and difficult at times to say the least. I cannot thank the team enough for all they do,
especially as I live 3 hours away. I am always advised of any situations that arise and I have peace of mind knowing Mum is in very good hands. I would totally recommend Bluebird as a kind, caring and thoughtful team who do a wonderful job.

I have had bluebird since August 2023.
All the carers have been fantastic and we really get on. My package has been made specially for me with what I need. The ladies will take me out to do my shopping and we have days out or just go out for lunch or a drink. It gets me out the house and I have the
company that I need. The ladies will always help with house jobs that need doing without me even having to ask them. If I need help with paperwork or have any issues they will always do whatever they can to help me get these things sorted. I know I can always speak to the lead supervisor if I need anything updating in my package and she will always make sure that she does what she can do to make sure that I am happy with this. Sometimes my visit times will change significantly and that doesn't really help me when i have made plans for the day as sometimes I attend groups which are at the same time every week. As a whole, I have had a really good experience with bluebird and hopefully continue to do so.

We have been using Bluebird Care since Mum broke her wrist in February. The team leader responded quickly to my initial phone call, came to assess our needs and soon had care in place for us. Mum has two carers in the morning to get her washed, dressed, out of bed and ready for the day. The carers are
all very kind and patient.They understand her needs and also her limitations due to her dementia. We like the fact that all the carers are female which we think is appropriate for a very elderly lady needing personal care. All the carers in the small Boston team are efficient, friendly, cheerful and obliging. Today both carers went above and beyond by helping me resolve a tech issue! It would be nice to have a set time each day for visits. I am given the rota for the week but the time each day can vary within a timeframe of an hour+. That together with the cost of the care being quite high are my only niggles. Overall I am pleased with the service and can recommend Bluebird Homecare.

Reply from Shannon Dandy, Care Manager at Bluebird Care Lincoln & South Lincolnshire

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're so glad to hear your mum is receiving kind and understanding care from our Boston team. We appreciate your comments on timing and cost, and we'll take these on board as we continue to improve our service. We appreciate you taking the time to rate us!

Bluebird care are delivering an excellent programme of care under rather difficult and sometimes impossible circumstances. They show great patience's trying to support my son. The staff I have met seem well trained and sympathetic to my son's needs.
I have a strong relationship with the Boston area
manager and because communication with my son is somewhat spasmodic it is reassuring to know that I can make a call and get a response. The odd occasion when there has been a minor issue with a staff member it has been discussed in a professional manner and resolved quickly. Over the years I have been involved with a number of different care support teams for my
son but none have displayed the commitment of the Bluebird team.

Reply from Shannon Dandy, Care Manager at Bluebird Care Lincoln & South Lincolnshire

Thank you for your kind feedback. We're glad to hear our team is providing the support your son needs, even in challenging situations. It's also reassuring to know that communication with our Boston team has been helpful and responsive. We appreciate your continued trust and will keep working to provide consistent, compassionate care.

All carers are professional, polite, engaging, friendly and courteous. Any concerns or problems are dealt with promptly. Communication is very important and have found in our experience with the company it is managed very well. The only negative I can find would be the times of visits sometimes dramatically
change. On the whole if it happens I do get notification, I appreciate this is part of the nature of the job and is beyond control. I would definitely recommend Bluebird Care as a very good option.

The Bluebird Care carers who visit me are mostly kind and helpful. Many, especially the more experienced, are observant and use their constructive initiative. However, I do have one carer whose attention wanders - not a danger now, my condition is much improved.

My father at the grand age of 100 and 10 months old lives next door, and although I look after him generally, his personal care and the sitting service when I need to be away from the home is a godsend and we could not function without the help and services of Bluebird Care Lincoln.
All the carers
and supervisors are professional, caring and understanding and treat my father with the utmost respect at all times. I have no doubts at all in recommending Bluebird care for anyone needed help looking after elderly relatives as in our case. I cannot rate them highly enough and thank them all sincerely for all the help and support they give me too. Of course, sometimes there are emergencies and staff illness etc which sometimes cause delays, but that is life and it sometimes happens, nothing is perfect but this service is pretty close.

Well disappointed with this company, management organisation is non-existent. Felt it was more about the money than actually the care of clients. Needs work on communication with different staff saying different things to clients feels like everyone doing their own thing and no unity within the ranks.
Very dissatisfied and disappointed. This was my last option before other things were put in place. I just felt like I was a pound sign, not a person.

I would like to review the excellent care that the live-in and domiciliary care teams in Lincoln have provided to both of my parents over the last 3 years. My parents came to Bluebird for some support care for my mum who had dementia. This worked very well and your team was excellent. Getting a cup
of tea in the morning served to my dad in his office by was (probably) the highlight of his day. The people on the team were first-rate. As things progressed, my dad's health took a turn for the worse and we moved to live in care. One staff member was running the live-in care and she is a first-class member of the team. She got everything right. Even when we had a carer walk out at 6am on Christmas Eve she drove straight up to make sure the care was working and also found another carer to cover. Both of my parents have passed away in the last 9 months, but the care from the Bluebird organisation made a material difference to them both. For this, I will always be grateful.

I am medically trained. A family member of mine needed fast-track home care in Boston. The NHS selected Bluebird Care to provide this in Boston. I had no idea what to expect. I am ashamed to admit some preconceptions of 'carers' especially those provided via NHS funding- surfaced. I looked up Bluebird
Care and principally from the reviews on this website and on the search platform, my fears were allayed. What I hoped for was decent care for my close relative but what she received was exceptional. My relative required full personal care and nursing in her hospital bed with appropriate pressure care and turning. I had seven carers in Boston, which I think is the full team, come out to us four times a day.
From the first pair of carers to the last pair who cared for my terminally ill relative- the home and personal care provided by Bluebird Care in Lincoln and their team in Boston was phenomenal. Every member of the team was professional, punctual, caring and entirely trustworthy. They were brilliant.

I am a busy businessman and realised that mum had a mental illness. I went to my GP and was forwarded to some local care agencies including Age UK and Social Services. We met with the manager at Bluebird Care who explained this very clearly and the possible development of mums condition. As my mum condition
has worsened Vascular Dementia, Bluebird Care have adapted to meet my needs and requirements. In February when I had Covid-19 they still maintained a full service when I needed it most. The carers are very motivated. professional, polite and caring. I feel we had the very best service available.

Firstly I would like to say how the staff come into your home with a smile on their faces with a good morning how are you both. Then go to the sink and wash their hands and put on new gloves and apron. I have never seen any care service we have had in the past do this. There is nothing too much for
them to help and make my husband feel comfortable when they are getting him washed and dressed. They are always laughing and talking to him. A week ago when they arrived my husband was having a seizure, I called for an ambulance and they stayed with me all the time helping me, what a professional pair of ladies.
