Overall Experience

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Bluebird Care comes to get my son up and put him to bed most days. Every single carer has been kind and considerate and nothing is too much trouble. The carers treat my son with the utmost respect as well as having fun whilst they are with him. Whenever we ring the office it's the same, everyone is extremely helpful and accommodating and cannot do enough to help.
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Linda H (Sister-in-law of Client) published on 28 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My family decided on Bluebird Care for their attention to detail and genuine interest when we approached them initially. We had an interview with them in my brother-in-law's home and they took great care in answering all his questions as well as ours, his family.
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 have been with Bluebird Care for a couple of years now, to be honest, they have given my partner the most wonderful care, nothing is ever too much.
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.

Review from Ian S (Son of Client) published on 22 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Jack Whitfield, Director at Bluebird Care South Gloucestershire

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.
