Review from Gillian M (Daughter of Client) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I live in Australia and my mother became frail enough to need to transition from daily visits to full time live in carers. She would have had to go into care if not for these wonderful carers. After we left to return to Australia, mother became even more frail and was admitted to hospital. The carer
stayed with her and advocated for her, during her time in hospital, did her washing and saw to her needs, as well as providing some much needed support. Mother came home and transitioned into end of life care, and I can't speak more highly of the care she received. The carers were more than paid help, they became part of our family and kept me updated of mother's progress. My mother had wonderful end of life care, in her own home and well supported by Blue Ribbon. They should be called Blue Angels! My heartfelt gratitude goes to all of the girls. Those who were able to, attended mother's funeral.

Our live in carer Melanie has been with us for over 2 years,which had meant that we are able to be cared for at home, Mel is splendid in the way she cares for us. I have diverticulitis and have to be careful about diet. Mel goes out of her way to prepare delicious soups and meals.
We have a built
an excellent relationship over the time Mel has been with us.
We are so glad my daughter in law found this company and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

We contacted Blue Ribbon for help with care support for my father and his wife. Everything needed to be arranged within a week as Dad was being discharged from hospital. The management were really supportive, meeting with all involved and working out how best to meet the complex needs of a couple. They
also found a live in carer who was able to start quickly enough to allow Dad to get home as soon as he was able. She came into a complex situation and quickly got to know everyone. She also cared for Dad and his wife brilliantly, meeting all their physical needs, keeping the flat spotless and maintaining her warmth and professionalism through some challenging times.

Through Blue Ribbon we have Melanie who cares for my mother and father in law as a live in carer. We can not speak highly enough of Melanie. She has become like a member of the family and her care for my mother and father in law is examplary. We would recommend Melanie and Blue ribbon without hesitation.

Outstanding, we are so pleased that we found this care provider. After really bad experiences through local authority care we were told about this care provider. The process is so easy and straightforward. Our current full time carer is Edith who is so good with my mother in law, my mother in law who
has complex needs and the carers are put in place reflecting the need by a excellent team in HQ. The care plan is Outstandingly thorough and we can see this at anytime. The house is spotless and my mother in law is kept clean and tidy with all her needs met. Thank you to all the team you are angels. Edith is an outstanding carer who goes the extra mile.

I was told about Blue Ribbon and contacted them, they very quickly organised a live in carer for my Mum, who is know back in her own bungalow thanks
to the care she receives from the live in carers, their dedication, compassion and understanding is excellent, as is their management, providing the correct carer for my Mums many needs and recommend this Company.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My neighbours are elderly and in poor health, but we have been good friends for over 5 years. Whenever I've called to chat with my friend the carer has always been very friendly and approachable but very professional. I can honestly say that since getting a carer I have seen myself the improvement in
my friends, it's difficult to put into words the changes in them but there's a definite improvement, the carer is incredibly thoughtful too, for instance I live on my own and the carer even made me a Christmas dinner too.
With everything I've seen and witnessed I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Blue Ribbon Live In Care to look after you or your loved ones.

Blue Ribbon has provided 24 hour care since December 2023 for my father in-law with dementia and supported my mother in law after a 3 month hospital stay. As a family we can't explain how much this service has meant to us. The live in carer has gone above and beyond in the care and support she provides.
We would highly recommend this service.

My Aunt has had live in care for the past 3 years with the same person. I can honestly say that throughout that time we have been delighted at the quality and standard of care being provided. As a family we have built a lasting friendship and importantly a trust with my Aunt's carer. She goes above
and beyond in all aspects of her work. Indered, she almost feels like 'one of the family'.

We found Blue Ribbon Live In Care after a poor experience with another provider. The difference is like chalk and cheese. From the moment of first contact, through all the 'back room' work to our actual carer, our experience has been brilliant. It's given us so much confidence that Mum is being loved
and well looked after. Everyone comes to Mum with care and compassion, and we know she feels so comfortable as a result.
Reply from Noel Williams, MD at Blue Ribbon Live In CareThank you very much for your review. It means a lot to the team to hear that we could make such a difference for your mum and for you too.

Blue Ribbon Live In Care provided me with an excellent carer to look after my dear friend, here in North Wales, who had advanced Parkinson's disease. She was the kindest person I have ever met, she showed true professionalism at all times and went above and beyond her duties, she cared for this lovely
lady up until she passed away with total dignity. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants the compassion and care expected for their loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Your company has provided care for our 94-year-old friend of 25 years since Spring 2023. The resident carer is wonderful and has done the job above and beyond. She hardly gets any time off as she is supposed to, as our friend has become very clingy and as she is blind, she doesn't like to be alone.
The carer shows our friend nothing but loving compassion and great patience at all times. Yesterday our friend slid out of bed, and as she seemed to be in pain, the carer phoned an ambulance at 1.30 a.m. and made them both comfy on the floor. We arrived at 9 a.m and the the ambulance came at 9.30 a.m. The carer also went to the hospital and remained with her in the ambulance till 1 p.m We arrived and insisted the carer had some food and a drink. We were told our friend would be waiting in the ambulance for an indefinite time so we insisted the carer went home for some sleep and the ambulance people agreed. We will all return later today once our friend has been admitted and hopefully has a bed in a ward.

Review from John L (Husband of Client) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Support was provided to my wife and I following my unexpected hospital stay. Our carer was extremely sensitive to our needs as, in addition to my post-hospital needs, my wife required 24-hour care due to her long-standing Secondary Progressive MS. We were privileged to have someone who understood the
special need for 24-hour care and undertook that responsibility with compassion.
After six weeks we considered our carer to be the equivalent of a second daughter. We were privileged to meet our carer and to benefit from the personal and professional approach she brought to her work.

Review from Ginny B (Daughter of Client) published on 2 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad’s live-in carer came to him at the beginning of May 2023. This was a compromise, as he refused to go into a care home, but the care he received was so good that we would wholeheartedly recommend this way of caring for an elderly relative.
The carer was absolutely professional, but at the same time,
warm and friendly, and became like a member of the family. We regret to say that Dad did not make this easy, as he was very resistant to many aspects of care and made life very difficult for his carer, who showed great patience and resilience, despite some very challenging behaviour from Dad. Her positive attitude, despite all that was thrown at her, was beyond expectations and the quality of the care she provided was exemplary.
The arrangement sadly ended when Dad became too poorly to be cared for at home and was taken into hospital. The way in which the agency dealt with this situation was extremely helpful at a difficult time, and the carer left the house in excellent order.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother required live-in care for the last 18 months of her life, with the last few months turning to end-of-life and palliative care.
The carers provided by Blue Ribbon Live In Care were of an exceptional standard, showing patience, kindness, fun and laughs and great gentle care, especially during
the last few months.
Our main live-in carer was excellent. She spent time getting to know Mum's likes and dislikes and spent hours chatting to her and making her laugh. Her care and attention to detail were second to none.
All the other carers, who either covered breaks, or came to assist with care, or covered a night duty were of an equally high standard. We felt confident that Mum was in safe and caring hands at all times.
The management always responded to emails and requests for advice, as Mum deteriorated, and regularly checked in on Mum to see how she was. I would highly recommend Blue Ribbon.
Reply from Noel Williams, MD at Blue Ribbon Live In CareThank you very much for your kind words, it means a lot to us all that we were able to provide such a high level of care.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.938 for Blue Ribbon Live In Care is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.938

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Blue Ribbon Live In Care is based on 14 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4.85
