If you are struggling with looking after someone, you need Bluebird on your side. Having someone always at hand to answer questions, advise and help has been such a huge relief. Communication is excellent. Problems or concerns (which there will always be) are dealt with swiftly and with care and respect.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. With many thanks Sophie
Overall care is very good. Carers with some life experience are obviously much better.
Thank you so much for for taking the time to write us a review. With many thanks Sophie
Having a live-in carer has delayed mums transition into a care home and hugely improved her quality of life. She gets on well with the carer and sees her almost as a member of the family. I'm very impressed with the level of care from both the carer and from Bluebird in general.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write us a review. We are so pleased that you are seeing a difference in your Mum's quality of life. With many thanks, Bluebird Care (South Gloucestershire)
First class service. We are both happy, living care package and being in our own home.
Many thanks Sophie
In General, the system works very well, and we are happy to continue with our present care package.

Bluebird Care provided outstanding person centred care for my late wife Magret and I. They supported us to remain in the comfort of our own home while my wife lived with dementia and provided palliative care for her. I was recovering from hospital discharge. From beggining of services the care, safety and responsive have been effictive and well led. The sinior care manager has been compassionate, effectively organised our care package with empathy. The carers shows genuine kindness, dignity and respect all times, offering consistent one to one support that sustaince my mind. They have gone beyond am grateful. Care standard is best provided. I highly recommend Bluebird Care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and your kind words. It has been absolute privilege to provide care for you and your wife. With many thanks Sophie
Bluebird Care have been very helpful and caring. Both my parents suffer from dementia which is very challenging. Bluebird have helped us navigate some difficult situations and are always ready to answer our many questions as this is all new to us. They are always at the end of the phone when we need support, nothing seems too much trouble for them. Thank you all.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us. It is a pleasure to care for your parents. With many thanks Sophie
We have a live in carer supplied by Blue Bird care. She has been with us now for nearly 2 years looking after my husband and is exemplary in every way. We are extremely pleased with the care she gives to my husband. She is a pleasure to have around. She looks after all his needs including personal care. I usually cook and shop etc but she is able to do all those tasks if I am away.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, it is an absolute pleasure caring for your husband. with best wishes, Sophie
Definitely recommend.
Thank you for your review and feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to write.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the carer for her really kind help this morning. My grandpa had fallen in the bathroom and she called me and stayed with him and made him comfortable on the floor until I got there to pick him up off the floor. She's always super friendly and helpful and I really appreciated her going above and beyond today to help my fallen grandpa! Great work!
Many thanks, Sophie
Excellent caring. Would request one staff member, in particular, full time with another on holiday breaks. So pleased.
Having high "Continuity of Care" brings so many benefits in terms of safety and how effective the care can be, plus it allows for a stronger relationship between our...
I cannot praise every single person we have dealt with at Bluebird Care enough.
I would highly recommend.
Bluebird has been my provider for 14-months. I find the staff excellent in their care for me. I only have one complaint, and that is the timing of my morning visit, which has been too early. I have very bad nights and cannot wake up for an early call. The office staff have tried to give me some better calls, but not on a regular basis.
I have just checked with the...
My Bluebird carers are very professional, friendly, and helpful whilst maintaining personal dignity. They have continued to maintain a high level of service during these very challenging days/weeks/months.
All the best.
We have two visits a day for personal care whereby the Staff are always on time, very caring and complete everything asked. Work is carried out with full safety measures and is always adhered to. Overall very happy.
I am delighted to hear that you find our service to your satisfaction. Thank you for going out of your way to let us know, we really appreciate it and enjoy hearing that we are making people happy! Regards.
My stepfather has had the most amazing care from the Bluebird carers. They have helped him cope at a very upsetting time, while his wife has been in a hospice receiving treatment for terminal liver cancer over the last six weeks. My dad has a very needy nature and can be quite demanding, however with the compassion and care he has received, it has helped me focus on the needs of my mum completely without worrying at all about him. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, especially during this difficult time. I am glad to hear that the carers are making what difference they can, to make things as easy as possible. With warm regards.
Since then he has received fantastic care from a main carer and a couple of others. Continuity of care, with people whom he had gotten used to, was a priority and this Bluebird have achieved.
My brother-in-law is so pleased with the support he receives, as are we as a family. It is comforting to all concerned he is getting such a high standard of support and care.
Thank you, Bluebird. Well done.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, it really means a lot to hear such words from someone with your background! We are delighted that you and your brother-in-law are happy with the service. Good continuity brings so many benefits, too many to mention even, and is the keystone of a good experience with home care.
I had a feeling with Covid-19 that we may have struggled with the care situation.
I have nothing but praise for them all, they have been extremely professional, not once have we been let down. Bluebird Care has been just brilliant.
No matter what happens in the future with Covid 19, I know my partner will be looked after with great love and care.
We are incredibly proud of the way all the staff have responded to the COVID-19 situation. It...
Looking at April 2020 in what has been a challenging time it has been very good that Bluebird have been able to still provide their care team for my mother who has dementia and mobility issues. We have the same carer for the morning and lunchtime visit and this carer has built a very good relationship with my mother which is vital for somebody with dementia. The morning/lunchtime carer goes about her task's efficiently with a happy disposition and nothing seems like to much trouble. The teatime and bedtime visits are now split between two carers who come on alternative days. The package now is all about stability which I believe is very important for the well being of my mother. I cannot fault the care team who come to our home, the times, the care they provide and the fact they are really nice people who seem to care about my mother. The best compliment I can give is to say I would not want to change anything about the care Bluebird provide.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our service. Keeping people such as your mother in the familiar comfort of their own homes is so important to them and is what we care passionately about. We are always looking to improve and hope that you continue to enjoy the service we provide.
