Bluebird Care Lewisham & Southwark is a premium home care agency dedicated to preserving the independence and improving the quality of life of vulnerable adults – such as those with challenges around mobility, sensory impairment and dementia – by offering sustainable solutions to some of the problems often associated with frailty, living alone and isolation.

With meticulous attention to infection prevention and control measures, customers can rest assured their care assistants are aware of the risks and how they can be mitigated.

The agency provides a range of home care services, including daily visits, overnight support and live-in care, typically to assist people with personal care and hygiene, meal preparation, managing and administering medication, light housework, shopping and accompaniment on trips outside the home.

However the aim is to do more than simply deliver practical support that meets people’s basic needs: staff aim to go the extra mile so that the customers really get the most out of life – for instance, doing crosswords together, partnering for Scrabble or bridge, resurrecting old hobbies or pursuits, gardening and even assisting with technology, such as laptops, mobile devices and email.

All of this offers older adults around Lewisham & Southwark a realistic alternative to residential care, in order that the clients can continue to live independent and connected lives in the comfort and safety of home, surrounded by cherished memories and where important social networks can be preserved.

All care assistants are carefully vetted, trained to a high-level and regularly supervised by an experienced, professional and local office team never more than a few miles away.

Carer is active in cooking fresh food each day & after cooks a spare meal. Does monitor food in freezer but this could be done more often. Keeps a list of requirements for disinfectant etc.
General & lively interaction with carer & provides a reasonable level of information about her family. Punctual
& conscientious. Keeps up to date with ironing & washing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is said that it takes a village to raise a child. But it also takes a village to care for an elderly person, and for us Bluebird Care is that village. After seven or so years, we have no regrets and are extremely fortunate that they were recommended to us at the beginning of our search for help.
As mum says, "I'm so lucky that they come to me. Many other people don't get the good help and care that I do!"

I much appreciate my Bluebird carers. They are all so approachable and I love to chat with them. I feel that I can learn to trust them and not worry about anything that I say; also to help me with personal tasks, that initially I would have worried about asking them to do.

Review from Gabriella N (Niece of Client) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle lived alone and was supported by bluebird careers for several years. They were all excellent , turned up on time, and gave him the support he needed. The office staff equally efficient, backing up extra visits whenever needed and showing compassion and support to myself also. The manageress
also checking in with me with updates. I cannot praise the support given , and although not allowed to mention names, there were a few carers that became firm favourites with my uncle and he always looked forward to them turning up. My uncle is now in a home, and one of his carers continues with visits weekly to continue the support and companionship. For my part, It is so reassuring to be able to get her extra feedback on his condition.---- if u are reading this , you know who you are, and we thank you more than words can tell.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.685 for Bluebird Care Lewisham & Southwark is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (84 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.685

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Bluebird Care Lewisham & Southwark is based on 51 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Kate Mortimer

Job Title: Registered Care Manager Joined: 2010

Kate joined Bluebird Care in 2010. Her customer service skills and “can-do” attitude were quickly noticed and it was not long before she was promoted to Care Supervisor.


After nearly 3 years Kate left to take a position as Senior Carer at a luxury care home in Bexley, South East London, where she managed a team of carers and gained further, valuable insight into the care of vulnerable adults with complex care needs - as well as the management of people!


We’re delighted to have Kate back in the Bluebird Care family, in a new venture where her experience and attitude will be of real benefit.


After many years working for Bluebird Care Kate has now taken on the exciting new role of Registered Manager.


With her knowledge, experience, and a great team behind her, she looks forward to the new challenges ahead.


Kate says 'I have always loved and enjoyed my work in health care so becoming a Registered Manager is the next natural step for me. It is so lovely to be able to do a job I love and make a difference in people's lives.'
