Review from K R (Husband of Client) published on 14 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Summed up in one word "Outstanding". My wife has severe dementia at a very young age. Her needs are unique and challenging in all aspects of care, stimulation and safeguarding. From initial talks with professional approachable management Bluebird Care have gone that extra mile to provide my wife with a dedicated team of carers, who are without doubt a credit to the company and themselves. The enthusiasm and quality of care have had a dramatic upturn effect in both our lives in this very sad and challenging time in our lives. Having had many care providers around the country in the last nine years, Bluebird have been one of a few I have cared to comment on. From the heart "thank you Bluebird Care", may you long continue.

Reply from Julie Mclellan, Director at Bluebird Care North Tyneside, North Northumberland, Sunderland & North Durham

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a fantastic review. We are very proud of the service we provide and clearly it is working well for you and your wife.

Overall Experience

My carers are not condescending, they treat me like a friend, they look after all my needs and go above and beyond what is expected of them. They look out for me and make sure I have everything I need. They are punctual and I get the same carers for continuity.

Overall Experience

The carers are professional, caring and most certainly friendly and a total joy to see them, make you feel normal and human. Not just a job, they become close friends that you can tell anything to and not be judged in any way. Very supportive in all ways.
