I used Bluebird care whilst my wife was recovering from an operation, I found the staff very helpful and caring in attending to my needs.
Should such occasion arise again I would have no hesitation in contacting Bluebird Care again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The main reason we chose Bluebird Care Walsall to care for my Grandmother was because of their live care note system which can be accessed by family members regardless of where they are in the world. This was of huge importance for us as a family as we live in another country, and since choosing the
services of Bluebird Care Walsall we have been very reassured that my Grandmother is receiving great care on a daily basis. A special thank you to all of the amazing Care Assistants who have already forged a great bond with my Grandmother in a short time. Highly recommend their service to others looking for care for themselves or their loved ones.

Since Bluebird Care Walsall have been visiting my mom on a daily basis, we have seen a great improvement in her general well-being and most of all she is a lot more positive, as each day she really looks forward to the carers visiting. It has also been brilliant for us as a family as it allows us to
now spend quality time with my mom, with the knowledge that all of her care needs are being completely taken care of.

It was a big step for us as a family to take the step and source care for our father, before using Bluebird Care Walsall we had always done it together as a family. It was the best decision we made as now we get to spend quality time with my father as we have complete peace of mind that the caters take
care of all of his health needs.

As a family, we knew we needed support for my mother but it was a very big step to take in terms of selecting the right care provider. I can happily say that choosing Bluebird Care Walsall was the correct decision, having had a number of assessments from other providers in the area.

Bluebird Care Walsall allowed my grandad to keep his independence and stay home. My grandad suffers with dementia but nothing seems to be difficult/challenging for the carers and the management team delivered as promised by creating a very person centred care plan. I would highly recommend this service.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 5.000 for Bluebird Care Walsall is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    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 Walsall is based on 8 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 = 4.8
  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.
