Bluebird care have completely transformed my life from help at my home to making it possible to do my hobby with their support, they assist me in appointments and make sure that I am being supported as best as possible, as my area manager one said to me "I want to give you the best life I can" I would
recommend bluebird to anyone they truly have each individuals best interest at heart.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bluebird has been with my daughter 3 years this August and they have been amazing. Before they came to us I struggled with basic tasks such as cooking a home meal or doing dishes due to my daughter having severe learning difficulties and she wasnt able to be left alone. Bluebird have helped massively
and my daughter has a great bond with the team. She will even asked for them o the days they are not here. They are very professional and nothing is ever an issue. They always have a smile on their face and happy to help. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since Bluebird has been involved
Reply from Sarah Spreadbury, Marketing Manager at Bluebird Care Mid and West Cornwall

I am very happy with my carers, I have about six or eight people on my rota so I see different people which I'm pleased about as not keen on too many strangers attending to me.

Over the time I have been receiving support from Bluebird staff, I have been treated with the utmost compassion and respect. Staff have seen me through some truly rough times and I don't know how I'd have managed without them. My confidence has come on leaps and bounds and I feel I was matched brilliantly
with my main support worker and I am so grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Throughout the past year, my daughter's team has been consistent and reliable. The carers have got to know and understand her well and therefore are able to respond to her daily needs. She benefits from having a permanent team of people around her, as her communication is very limited. As her mother,
I find the overall care for her is exceptional. I trust and appreciate the team and all they do for her.

The manager of our area (Truro) is not as good as he should be. He doesn't listen to complaints and concerns about me not being comfortable with certain carers. I have asked him not to send certain carers here, but he still does. Most of the carers who come to my house are brilliant.

Since having Bluebird Care (which I thought I didn't need). I am helped to shower and hair wash with a delightful group of ladies. They all treat me with dignity and respect as well as being happy and having a laugh with me. I feel well looked after and am glad we chose Bluebird.

My husband is totally dependent on all of his day to day living and care needs. Both of us feel well supported by the management who always strive to accommodate additional requests and the companionship respite sitters and the domiciliary team double-handed 4 times daily. The staff members are very
aware of the boundaries between work and personal relationships and respect them. They treat my husband with care and dignity in what could be quite embarrassing circumstances. We are very happy with the arrangement.
