Overall Experience

The whole Bluebird team from management to the carers have always been very helpful with any of my parents requirements. The people that visit my father are always punctual, on time and professional and my parents now rely on their help and assistance. It is reassuring to know that their standard of care is very good and they are always reliable. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs help at home.

Overall Experience
Bluebirds have been providing daily care visits for my elderly mum for a few of years now. They have never failed to attend and always notify my mother if visit timings need to change. All of the carers are very professional, sociable and friendly and do their very best to help my mum . As I live in another City, I appreciate knowing that someone is going to visit every day to check on my Mum and let me know if anything in untoward and they do tell me if I need to be concerned over anything. The team are flexible and if sonething unusual they are able to accommodate. For example, they were able to arrange for transport and accompanied my mum when she needed an emergency dental visit.
My mum can be a bit abrupt from time to time, yet the carers are all very understanding and have the patience of saints

Costs are reasonable, invoicing is easy and the team are very flexible should we need to amend visits for any reason. Overall we are very happy and pleased to recommend Bluebirds

Overall Experience

Our mum has had both home visits and live in care provided by Bluebird over the past 18 months. All the staff have been wonderful, they provided mum with essential support and help and were flexible, kind and caring. My sister, myself and our mum were incredibly impressed with the quality of the care and the organisation and management of the carers. The carers managed to be both professional and friendly (a skilful balance), and they treated mum with respect and dealt calmly with any incidents (such as a fall). Thank you all so much for providing mum with a quality of life she could not have had without your support.

Mum has had Bluebird carers visiting for two months now. We are very impressed with the professionalism of the company from the directors and managers to the carers themselves. They understand how difficult a time it is for families which is very helpful. We have already increased the number of hours they visit mum. She is getting used to their visits now and it is a big help for us.

Overall Experience
I am extremely impressed with the standard of care provided by Bluebird Care. From the outset, the team has consistently demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and genuine compassion in every aspect of their service.
Their commitment to going above and beyond expectations has provided complete peace of mind. Communication is excellent - I am always kept well informed and any queries are addressed promptly and efficiently. The carers themselves are outstanding: kind, respectful, and dedicated to providing the highest quality of support.

It is evident that Bluebird Care truly values the wellbeing and dignity of those in their care. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone seeking trustworthy, compassionate, and professional home care.

Overall Experience

I've received help support and encouragement from my Bluebird carers. They have been flexible and adaptable to my needs. I am usually fairly able to take care for myself but often need help with managing laundry and cleaning to keep the house in order. They take me out for shopping and walks to help me feel in touch with the world and keep me moving. They have taken me to medical appointments . They are good company and cheerful and help me be confident about being on my own in my home

Overall Experience

My mother received excellent care in her home from Bluebird Care from January 2023 until her recent move into residential care. I cannot recommend Bluebird enough - their carers are extremely helpful and proactive in seeking to improve and personalise the service they offer. Bluebird's service was instrumental in enabling my mum to live at home for longer than she might otherwise have been able to do. The service is extremely professionally run and very flexible in responding to increased care needs when we were away on holiday.

I have received excellent care from Bluebird Care over the past two months or so as a short-term customer. The care was designed to help me in my later stages of rehabilitation after a longish spell in hospital. All the staff that I encountered were very attentive to my particular needs.

Review from Joanna S (Daughter of Client) published on 5 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We arranged a trial of live-in care when my father's needs increased and his granddaughter and her partner, who had been living with him, needed to move away. Bluebird Care were very helpful in providing suitable, experienced carers with little delay so that we could give this a realistic trial. Everything went well. In the end, we have decided a residential home is a better choice for him. It was definitely worth having had the experience to help us make the choice and I think, for many people, the final decision would have gone the other way.

My mum has been using Bluebird Care for a few months now and they have been amazing.
My mum was very reluctant to have anyone in the house but she has always felt at ease, from day one, with all the carers that go over.
They have been able to adapt quickly to Mum's changing needs, which has been really helpful.

Would highly recommend it.

I do not need a high level of care, just a short time a week to help with personal care for safety reasons. I look forward to my cheerful, caring Bluebirds coming each week, always on time. The business is very efficient with good communication. My life has improved with the help of Bluebirds and I cannot fault them.

The home care that my mum receives every day 7 days a week is outstanding from Bluebird. All the carers are brilliant, they always show my mum & me total respect & care and they are always well-mannered & they are always positive & happy doing their caring work. They all a total credit to Bluebird Care & also all the staff including their directors are always polite, well-mannered & always have the time & care to listen to me especially when my mum's medication & needs change.

Review from Sandra S (Daughter of Client) published on 20 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We connected with Bluebird Care in November 2023 and they quickly established a plan of home care visits for Mum. They were responsive to changes in needs, contact was made if there were any concerns picked up by the carers and they were very easy to contact at any time. We were kept informed of any changes in timing or staff attending, and had a weekly timetable provided. The most important point for me was how they took both Mum and the whole family into their care, they made a firm bond with Mum and she was adopted into their "family", at the same time we felt very included in their care too. One particular incident where I was struggling to handle Mum's dementia, their support was completely invaluable. On another occasion when I was some 160 miles away and Mum had a fall, a quick phone call to Bluebird and someone was with her to stay once the medical support had been and gone. Five stars is not enough to express our gratitude for their professionalism, care and compassion.

Overall Experience
Bluebird Care have provided domiciliary care for my mum over the last year, this is the first time Mum has needed any care and we were really anxious about where to go and didn't really know what it was Mum even needed from the carers.

Right from the start, I felt the team knew exactly what they were doing, initially asking what we thought would be a good starting point and then working with Mum and myself to adapt the care and help to support Mum's specific needs. The big strengths of all the team are their focus on Mum's needs, her safety and her choices/decisions about her care. When needs changed they communicated with the family quickly and calmly, making suggestions about what could be done and this also happened during times of concern. The team was completely reliable, always visited as planned and when Mum's needs increased they were able to step up with additional visits immediately. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

My aunty had great care from Bluebird Care Derbyshire Dales & Amber Valley who came in every day to give her full-time carer a break. The service was professional and friendly and any issues were sorted out in a timely manner. Many of the carers forged great relationships with the manager and I felt it was a service we could trust.
