My husband had a carer to shower him and dress him five days a week. They were godsends, they treated him with kindness and dignity and listened to everything he said. They helped him to go up and down stairs and helped him with his breakfast. He suffers from Parkinson's and dementia and they showed
him patience and respect.

Bluebird Care provided to my mother is exceptional. With me living in Ireland and after my mother’s last carer providers were absolutely terrible, I did my research looking for the best care for my mother. A care provider that would give me peace of mind, knowing her needs were met. From the moment
we started with Bluebird, nothing is too much trouble. The office staff and area manager listened to the package my mother needed and carried it through. So friendly and helpful. My mother is a lot happier having a permanent carer. Her carer is well presented and friendly with a caring nature. She listens to my mother and chats about everyday stuff. As my mother at the moment is housebound due to a bad fall at Christmas, her carer helps her with her physio, gets shopping, cleans and collects her prescription, etc. She is a credit to Bluebird. Thank you for your excellent service.

I contacted Bluebird Care Wandsworth for help with personal care for my brother who is disabled after a serious accident in New Zealand two years ago. The customer services manager gave me an excellent initial explanation of what services Bluebird Care could offer and what initiating the service would
entail. My brother agreed to go ahead with the offer.
The customer services then visited my brother’s flat and discussed the proposed service with him and me, as I am also caring for him. I was very impressed with the kind, professional and patient way she handled her discussion with my brother.
The carer started work a day later and she has been wonderful. She is very efficient, patient with my brother, and actively encourages him to take charge of aspects of his care.
My brother and I are both delighted with the service and support we have received.
My brother has read this review and he fully endorses it.

When my elderly and significantly disabled mother-in-law's live-in carer returned home for a well-earned three week break for Christmas last year, Bluebird was able to help. We were very relieved when they found just the right person for her. She was professional, efficient, caring, respectful and
she entered into the spirit of our Christmas festivities with great sensitivity. Thank you Bluebird for once again for providing exactly the help we needed.

Bluebird has been really fantastic over the last 6 months providing care and support of mum elderly mum who lives with Dementia. For about 6 years I'd managed to care for mum keeping her in her beloved flat, but as her illness is progressing it became really tough to continue without backup and I called
Bluebird. They reacted quickly with a visit from a very experienced customer care manager who understood exactly what was needed and took a lot of trouble to treat mum with respect as an individual. They've since provided night carers every night, and back-up with some day and evenings. We've been lucky enough to have some really first-rate carers. When we have needed help to make any adjustments, Bluebird has been impressively responsive. Thank you for all the support you are giving our family.

Bluebird Care Wandsworth has been providing companionship care for my husband who suffers from dementia.
He is quite unsteady on his feet and they accompany him on a walk every week so that he can enjoy some of the outside life that he has missed during the lockdown and now increasingly because of
his dementia.
The carers have been thoughtful and understanding, patient and helpful. The management team has done very well in difficult circumstances - trying especially hard to meet our needs while having to adapt to changing staffing levels due to both pingdemic and pandemic. I'm very glad to have their support and would recommend them highly.

I contacted Bluebird for support for my brother who was moving back to London after a year spent shielding with us. My initial contact was by telephone to check if they were able to offer the type of support needed. This experience was extremely positive. I had a long discussion with one of the Directors
who, I felt, understood our situation completely. She was very professional but also very kind and understanding and confirmed that Bluebird Wandsworth would be able to meet our needs. We later met their Customer Services Manager once back in London - again, a very reassuring experience for us. She understood exactly what was needed and was positive, constructive, open, friendly and kind. My brother and I really warmed to her and I felt that, at every stage, Bluebird was committed to meeting our needs. We have since had to change our arrangement slightly and I have found them to be very flexible and helpful. I cannot speak too highly of them. They have exceeded my expectations.

We found Bluebird reassuring, caring, efficient and thorough from our first telephone contact
(quite late on a Friday afternoon ) to meeting the Manager for a full assessment the following Monday , to the prompt provision of the carefully selected carers for the complex care needs of my husband. The
carers were excellent and we liked the effort to ensure continuity of carers. The communication with the office was efficient and reassuring.
Bluebird is an excellent provider which we would recommend without hesitation. Thank you!

Engaging a Care Provider for an aged parent is a very stressful thing to have to sort out. Which company to employ, cost of care, level of care required etc. We were recommended by our local council to discuss with Bluebird and having no knowledge of the care industry we decided to go with them. Bluebird
(Wandsworth) was very understanding and offered very good advice. They made the process easy and the carers provided the help our mother needed at the time. We started with 2 x 1 hourly visits a day some 3 years ago and now have a full-time live-in carer. Our mother's full-time carer is everything we could have wished for. Genuine care and support to not only our mother but to us as well. We have complete faith and trust in her in looking after mum in these difficult times. When she had a holiday the stand in carer was equally very good which made the transition less stressful for mum and us.

Thank you very much for your kind review. We appreciate just how confusing it is to know where to start when organising care and support for the first time. In addition, we turn away over 94% of those who apply to us as they simply don't meet our standards. I'm so glad that your mum is receiving the standard of care she deserves. With kind regards.

Bluebird has a strong market brand and my own involvement with Bluebird has strengthened my view that this is a first-class care agency. Bluebird have only been providing care services for my Mum for a little under a month but already I know I have made the right decision to use Bluebird. First and
foremost, my Mum’s 2 careers, have been excellent, providing exactly the requested service in a cheerful and effective way. It is a source of comfort knowing that either one of the carers is fixing my Mum each day. In all my dealings with the wider Bluebird team, they have proven to be responsive and flexible in meeting my Mum’s needs.

All the carers sent by Bluebird were really fantastic in very difficult circumstances. One, in particular, was with my brother, who has suffered a horrendous stroke, for over 2 years and enhanced his life no end. All have been very caring and professional - the carers, as well as the management and

Bluebird have had full-time carers looking after my brother, who has had a stroke, for the past four years and I cannot fault them. All the carers have been exceptional, sometimes under very difficult circumstances. The staff at Bluebird always kept me informed of who was looking after my brother and
any other information they thought I should be aware of. As a caring agency, I cannot recommend them highly enough and if ever I needed a carer, I would certainly go to Bluebird.

I was offered 12 hours of respite care for my elderly mother (96) who I am a carer for. Her needs had recently increased a great deal and I was getting overwhelmed with trying to see to her, my own family, my work in child protection and suffering from an illness myself, compounded my situation. Bluebird
care were amazing. They heard my plea and took details about my needs and information about my mother. They matched my mother to a wonderful carer, who I met with my mother. My mother, who was suffering from high anxiety and many other conditions, took to her carer immediately and when I left, they were planning their next meeting. As a result, I had time to catch up with many things and begin to re-charge my batteries, which were very low. I will be applying for more care for my mother, as the service is excellent and professional. The interactions I had were very considerate and done with good humour and warmth. I recommend Bluebird highly.

Job Title: Registered Care Manager/Director

Like many people, I switched my career to Health & Social Care after a member of my family had a very poor experience. In this case, it was my grandparent who was in a care home. My initial career started in solar energy design back home in Yorkshire, but now I couldn't imagine working in any other sector.


I moved to London with my partner and joined a small complex care company initially as a Field Care Supervisor and then Area Care Manager. By studying independently at the same time, I ultimately achieved my goal to become a Registered Care Manager.


I feel lucky to have supported the people we care for across all levels, from delivering care myself to operational management. This has given me a huge insight and appreciation for the hard work our carers carry out on a daily basis, and the support our customers need to remain comfortable and safe in their own homes.


It’s a privilege to lead such a successful and dedicated team and to share in our fantastic reputation for care as it should be.

Alice

Job Title: Business Manager/ Director

A mum with 2 young daughters, I initially joined the team as a part-time administrator, and then from there, I was head of recruitment. I’ve grown with this family company as my girls have grown up, and I am now a full-time Business Manager.


I’m still very much involved with our wonderful carers – many of whom have been with us for many years now– and I love seeing the journey they each take from the day they start working for us.


I am also the person who speaks to those enquiring about our service, a role I take incredibly seriously.


I was once that person, not knowing where to start and needing help for my own mum, and I know just how scary and confusing the whole process can be. I don’t want anyone to feel as overwhelmed as I did, and so it’s a very personal thing for me that I give the very best advice I can.


It’s a privilege to do what I do.

Emma

Emma

Job Title: Customer Services Manager/Director

My interest in care began at school, where I studied Health and Social Care. After continuing on to college and completing my NVQs, I began working in a care home. It didn’t take long to realise that working with people in a care home wasn’t for me – they should be in their own homes.


My great-grandmother, unfortunately, had a bad experience with care, and this made me want to prove that not all care is of a poor standard. I began working as a carer for Bluebird Care and worked my way up.


I certainly feel I am fulfilling my ambition. I am really proud of the work that we all do here, and we are most certainly proving to people that high-quality care is out there.


I'm now Customer Services Manager. It’s hugely rewarding to make such a difference to others. I truly enjoy my work and am thankful to Bluebird Care for allowing me to do what I love.

Job Title: Care Supervisor

I had worked in retail for some years when my son had an accident and needed my help, and that was when I realised I'd been in the wrong profession all along!


I have been with Bluebird Care for some years now and initially started as a Carer and then worked my way up. Making a difference in someone's life is just so rewarding and you get to meet the most interesting and wonderful characters. It's all about people which I love.


As Care Supervisor, I lead our Bluebird Care rapid response Home from Hospital discharge service, working with the CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group). I go out and assess the needs of the person leaving the hospital and ensure everything is ready for them to come home and start their road to recovery with us. I love it!


This part of my work as a Care Supervisor is all about teamwork with my beautiful Bluebird Care family.


Organisation is always challenging but every day is different.


Just to know l can make someone happy by getting them back into their own environment and see them with a smile on their face means l have done my job well.

I’ve wanted to help others for as long as I can remember.


When I was little, my grandad suffered a stroke. He lost mobility in his left hand and my siblings and I would visit him as often as we could, encouraging him to do the hand exercises his doctor had prescribed. Little by little he gradually regained his strength.


This was almost magical for me. As a young girl, I had already learned the lesson that caring for my grandad and believing in his abilities – when he hardly believed in them himself – really paid off! The desire to help others has been a lifelong passion ever since. I feel it’s my vocation and I’m proud of my ability to feel empathy and connect with people. My career with Bluebird Care is a dream come true for me and my enthusiasm remains as strong as ever.


I am proud to represent the company well and uphold its high values.
