Prafula's Story
Prafula started off as a care worker at a large care company and worked herself up to be a care coordinator but became frustrated with the way things were run. She could see inefficiencies and vast problems that made consistency of care difficult to provide. Determined that a home care company could do better she obtained all the necessary leadership and care management qualifications and founded Bluebird Care (Harrow) in 2007. Due to the great reputation, she had built in Harrow she decided to open her second franchise (Brent) in 2012 to follow in her footsteps.
“We recognise that each person is valuable and unique with his and her own purpose, personality and history”.


Munjal's Story
Munjal has a background in Business and Entrepreneurship, having worked for a number of start-ups and big companies including running his own shop. However, through his family, he had personal experience of the poor level of care delivered and along with Prafula he passionately believed that care could and should be done better.
“The package of care is specifically tailored to the needs of our customers, and this is reviewed frequently to ensure it continues to meet the person’s needs”.

Eva

Eva Heinisch

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Eva Started with Bluebird Care in November 2022
“I started as a care assistant in 2006 and realised that this is the industry I will dedicate my life to. I have quickly progressed to work as a coordinator and supervisor. A few years ago, I stepped up the ladder as a manager, but really found out that teaching is my biggest passion. I understood that knowledge is a power so I moved away from day-to-day managing onto learning and developing and found the perfect role with Bluebird as I can enjoy both roles in one. I believe that when staff has in-depth knowledge about how to look after people properly, they will have the correct tools to deliver true person-centred care”.
