All the staff were brilliant, attentive and cheerful visiting my mum who looked forward to their visits each day. Timing of calls were good and office made us aware if calls were going to be delayed.

We used the agency for care for mum over the past nine months. At all times they were extremely well managed and provided care of an excellent standard. Most of all they were reliable and always let us know in advance who the carers would be.

Thank you from us all

Overall Experience

I have always been happy with the level of care my dad has received since we lost my mum almost three years ago. Dad is always happy to chat to the carers and has always felt comfortable and confident with the support he receives. Without this dad couldn't live independently and remain in his own house. It is important to both myself and my sister that dad is well looked after as we live faraway from him and it gives us peace of mind that he has calls three times per day.Keep up the good work Blue Bird, we appreciate all that you do .

Overall Experience

Bluebird Care has been providing care for my parents for almost two years. They have four visits a day which means many carers but we know all of them. Each work diligently to keep them happy doing multiple tasks, general and more specific. Key is my parents feel well-supported and are content in their 90s.

Mum is very happy with the service and the carers, so as long as she is happy, we, the family, are happy. Anything for a quiet life.

Mum enjoys the company first thing in the morning as it helps her to get started and ready for the day ahead.

It is important for your mum that she accepts the care and effectively enjoys the company what comes with it. That is half the battle. we are pleased to support you with her care journey.

Overall Experience

Overall a good service which was slightly let down by the turnover of staff which my FIL found difficult. This meant that each of the new staff, of which there were many, had to find their way around the property and be shown where everything was. They were always kind, friendly and helpful.

Reply from Sophie Emmess, Business Development Lead at Bluebird Care Southampton and Totton

Thank you for your comments. We strive to improve our service at any opportunity and take your feedback onboard. We're pleased to hear that your father-in-law enjoyed the time spent with our staff.

Overall Experience

Dad has received a good standard of care at all times. Communication is good and easy via the open pass app. The only reason I've not rated five stars is purely because we couldn't get the time of day for the morning visit that Dad would have preferred. Would recommend their services without hesitation.

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you are happy with the standard of care our staff provide. We endeavour to improve at any opportunity, so we take on board your comments and a member of our team will be in touch to review this for Dad.

Overall Experience

Bluebird Care staff have provided regular, reliable and kind help for my mum. It started with a little extra assistance and ended with daily care, right to the end. She died one week from her 95th birthday with a Bluebird holding her hand the morning she passed away, until I arrived at her home.

Overall Experience

We have been using Bluebird since April 2023. We are grateful for the support we receive helping to give my husband some respite from full-time care duties. The daily hour in the morning slot to get me up, washed and dressed is done with care and respect. The carers are timely and consistent and are keen to look after my welfare and any needs I may have.

Overall Experience

By and large, the service I receive is satisfactory, only occasionally does it fall down due to sickness and absenteeism of carers. The office staff leave a lot to be desired.

Reply from Bernadette Mills, Director at Bluebird Care Southampton and Totton

Thank you for the honest feedback. As you are aware, we are currently undergoing a big challenge of implementing a new care planning and rostering system, as well as restructuring the branch with a brand new care manager. We are investing in better systems so we can monitor each performance better....

Review from T H (Son of Client) published on 27 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bluebird and the carers they provided made it possible for my elderly mother to stay in her own home for the last years of her life. They provided a responsive service to changing needs and virtually all the carers were compassionate and respectful even when my mother was not in a co-operative mood. She was well cared for and the carers were able to ensure other family members could complement their role to still feel involved. This was reassuring for me living overseas at the time. I and our family are indebted to Bluebird for allowing Mum to retain her dignity and pass peacefully at home.

Reply from Bernadette Mills, Director at Bluebird Care Southampton and Totton

It has been a journey and we were very pleased to have assisted you and all your siblings with caring in the way you all wanted to. We all had her best interest at heart.
