I have found the service first class. The carers are very helpful, very polite, and very knowledgeable
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review! We are so proud of our team who have been able to support you so well during your care journey.
This is the second time we have been blessed with help from Bluebird Care Team. Every one of them is caring, anticipates not only my husband's needs but mine as well, and always willing to go the extra mile. Not only do they care for my husband's physical needs but their cheerful character lightens his mood. I wouldn't hesitate to recomend this company to anyone else. The only negative thing I could say about them is that some don't tidy up properly after they have finished. Apart from this, I don't think it would be possible to find another group of people who fulfil the role of carers better than the Bluebird team.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear how much our team's care and cheerful approach have meant to both you and your husband. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we will also take on board your comment about tidying up to ensure we continue to improve. Thank you again for your kind recommendation and trust in the Bluebird Care team!
Very caring and helpful team that visit me, especially regarding personal care.
We are so pleased that our team are able to support your care needs. Thank you for your kind words!
Very helpful and friendly.
Very chatty and made mum and myself feel very comfortable with her around.
Hopefully we see more of her while mum is a client of yours.
I would completely recommend Ella
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that you found a member of our team helpful and that they supported your mum to feel comfortable at home.
The 1st assessment visit was extremely professional and reassuring. They arrived on time listened carefully to our needs and explained the process carefully and clearly which gave us confidence in going forward. The visit was friendly, felt thorough but not at all rushed and we were impressed with the caring and respectful approach.
It is wonderful to hear that our team were able to offer guidance and reassurance during the assessment process. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a kind review.

My name is Ben Sellick and I am the Registered Manager for Bluebird Care in Taunton and Mid Devon.
At the age of 19 with the encouragement of my late Mum, I joined a local care home as a Care Assistant. I have worked in a variety of roles within care over the last 18 years.
I have spent over half my time with Bluebird Care as a Manager and have had the privilege to support and upskill my team to share the same passions and values.
In my spare time, I am a children’s entertainer and joined the West Somerset Magic Society.
I have found real meaning in being able to link my skills and experiences across all age groups.
I take great pride in representing Bluebird Care- Taunton & Mid Devon. It has been a huge pleasure for the last 10 years and hope it is many more to come.
I joined the Bluebird Care Team in October 2021 when I moved to Somerset from Bournemouth.
My role is all about support. Support for the Care team out in the field and most importantly to our customers. I love my job and nothing makes me happier than making sure that our customers get the best care possible. I am proud to be part of a team that ensures that our customers can live the life they choose, in their own homes and get the support that they need.
In my free time, I love shopping, travel and the theatre.
I have worked on and off in the care sector since I was 18 years old, I had a long break when I had my children as I believed that I couldn't be a good carer and a good mother, as there's just not that much care in me to give.
However, once my children had reached secondary school, I came back to the thing I love the most.
I have always worked in the community, supporting people from all walks of life to be as independent as possible and to live fulfilling lives within their own homes. I find this incredibly rewarding, as each day is different, and I really feel the huge impact of delivering person-centred care can make on an individual's life.
Use your smile to change the world, don't let the world change your smile.
Before working for Bluebird Care, I was new to care, although having worked with clinical exercise populations in previous workplaces, I had experience with Reablement. I started with Bluebird Care as a reablement assistant and found I had a passion for the work I was carrying out.
Supporting patients who have been discharged from the hospital, and seeing their progress as a direct result of the team's input, made me feel part of a vital service improving people’s quality of life. From my role as a Reablement Assistant, I progressed to a team leader role, from the Discharge to an assessment manager role, then to the Business Development Manager role. Although my role has changed, at the core of all the work I do remains a passion for making a difference in people’s quality of life, which is what motivates me day-to-day
