Review from Frances S (Daughter of Client) published on 14 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bluebird Care came highly recommended to us and I would recommend to others without hesitation. As the daughter, I found them always helpful and understanding at the end of the phone and in person. I know that Mum, reluctant about any kind of care, came to trust and rely upon her Bluebird carers and to enjoy their company. It was important for her to have a more sociable afternoon visit once a week as well as the regular evening ones for personal care.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend Bluebird Care West Dorset. They are kind, thoughtful, professional and very patient. They go above and beyond. I live eighty miles away from my uncle, so Bluebird are my eyes and ears. They keep me informed and nothing is too much trouble, knowing Bluebird are around is such a relief. Thank you.

Overall Experience

As with all interactions, one is more comfortable with some carers than others. It would be nice to be able to choose but realise this is not possible. However, we are happy with them all.

Overall Experience

We are very happy with the service Bluebird provides. The team are so helpful and each individual carer always goes the extra mile. They came to our rescue following an accident, I broke my leg and care for my husband. They helped us so much, we couldn’t have got through without them and have kept using them on reduced hours now that I have recovered. All the carers are professionals and kind, thank you.

Overall Experience

The carers who visit my dad are excellent. They are friendly, kind and knowledgeable, providing a very high standard of care. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Dad looks forward to their visit, they always make time to chat with Dad, which is just as important as the care they give him. Thank you.

Bluebird provides a first-class service and have done since Mum has been a client. They treat Mum with respect, are very punctual and are always available for me to deal with if I need them. The level of care they give Mum is very good. Thank you, Bluebird.

Review from Emma P (Niece of Client) published on 2 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bluebird Care in Dorchester have been looking after my Aunt and Uncle since Christmas, firstly with domiciliary care and then in the last two months with live-in care.
They have been excellent throughout, often very busy but never too busy to sort out any issues and problems. The domiciliary staff have been hard working and very friendly and the live-in carer has been such a help.

I'm pleased that they were able to help us in what was new territory for me and my brother, nothing was too much bother.

Overall Experience
It has been good to know that Mum has been having regular carers in during Covid-19 when the family have been unable to visit.
She gets on well with all her carers and they take good care of her.

Communications have been good with the office and it is nice to be able to use the app so that we can see what has been happening at each visit.

Very good but I wish the carers would let us know the day before when cancelling and I would like the same person on my shower days.
