Bluebird Carers have looked after my mother-in-law for the past six years, and we couldn't be more grateful. From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond, showing kindness, professionalism, and genuine care every step of the way. The team took the time to truly get to know her, treating
her with dignity and respect while supporting her independence. Communication with the family has always been clear and reassuring, giving us real peace of mind. Each carer has brought warmth, compassion, and reliability, making a real difference not only to my mother-in-law's life but to ours as well. Even through difficult times, their care remained consistent and heartfelt. Bluebird Carers are more than a service-they've become like family. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional, person-centred care.

We're very pleased with the service Bluebird Care are providing for our parents. Every week their carers turn up with kindness, compassion and a practical approach to help with the ironing, cleaning and general household chores. They are patient, supportive and have built a good relationship with our
parents. Their weekly visits are reassuring to us both, as are the check-ins they have with us - all with the intention to help Mum and Dad with the things they now find difficult and increase the overall quality of their life. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

The overall experience of blue bird is excellent, the carers that looked after my mother in law were so kind and supportive of her cannot thank them enough. I would receive regular calls from the office keeping my updates on her well being and if they could offer any assistance to help her stay independent
in her home .Again i can't thank them enough for the support and advise they give us. I would recommend blue bird to Family and Friends.

Bluebird have cared for my father for the last 3 months. The carers have been kind, attentive and always treat my Father with dignity. So diligent in their treatment, he has been discharged from the Lymphoedema clinic. Medications have changed considerably during the three months and the transition
has been seamless. From my perspective, the communication from the office is professional and efficient. For me, this is essential. Carers notes are available via their on line system. The supervisor is always on hand to provide advice. Weekly schedules listing the name of the carer and call times are emailed and invoices provide a detailed breakdown of costs.

My mum has been having help from Bluebird Care 3 times a week since January and I cannot thank them enough for what they have done. Things were difficult in the beginning because Mum wouldn't accept that she needed help. But the staff were so good with her, encouraging her and just chatting if that
was all that mum would allow. Mum is now moving into assisted living, so will no longer need Bluebird Care but I would certainly recommend them as a care provider. The staff, particularly 4 members of staff, have been so lovely to mum and she has built a good relationship with them all. Thank you Bluebird, you've been amazing.

Mam have been more than happy with the support / care and help she has received everyone who visited have been lovely and so friendly - nothing is too much trouble
Mam initially bit concerned as never had care other than myself previously and also been a very independent person prior to that - it's
been so reassuring that mam now feels so comfortable and looks forward to her visits
Really lifts her spirits
Carers are very Inspiring too offer tips ideas to help with maintaining routines
I'm grateful for the updates of visits - can view at a glance
should any changes occur everything is always very well communicated and dealt with immediately
Very professionally run

Bluebird (and the carer who visits me) are excellent. Great care is taken through-out the house and they get into the areas / bits that I as a disabled person struggle to reach. Equally importantly the conversation means they can check on me and ensure I'm not losing it! And the cats seem to like them
too!

I needed care assistance at short notice for twice daily visits.Bluebird Care had been recommended to me by friends who had used the company.Their manager and office staff were extremely helpful on first contact and swiftly arranged an assessment with me at home which was comprehensive regarding my
morning and night care routine.I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail and health and safety assessment of my home.I have received first class care from pleasant,punctual and competent care staff and can recommend Bluebird Newport as my first choice for home care having had experience of other local care companies for my late mother.

I highly recommend Bluebird Care Newport. They are an amazing company! My mum has dementia and Bluebird carers attended to my mum twice a day. Carers were always very professional, kind and helpful. Office staff were always very attentive and nothing was ever too much trouble! A well-organised and reliable
company. Thank you for everything you did to support Mum and myself!

Mum was diagnosed with Dementia, and we were assigned a care company to help with her care, we were with that company for 2 years, care was not the best, but it was a help, some of the better carers left the company and the level of care dropped massively.
We have currently swapped to Bluebird Carers
Newport, this company was also recommended to me by a friend as being excellent, the carers visit Mum 3 times per day.
We would be absolutely lost without them! The carers are lovely, kind, caring, attentive and engaging and also very professional. We are so grateful to how the office ladies do what they can to help us with advice etc, also how efficiently they reply to my text messages and reach out if they need to bring something to my attention.
We are more than happy with the care that is being provided. Amazing company. The carers and office girls are like angels and I am truly grateful for everything that they do for Mum. Thank you so much

I'm happy with the care provider but I have noticed on several occasions the staff are not staying for the duration of the visit (AM is 45 mins and lunch is 30 mins) which is a concern. Some staff will wash dishes and others will leave them. The interaction with Mum varies sometimes as some staff have
been on their phones during the visit. My mother is very comfortable with the staff but misses one in particular.

A good consistent service provided. Any concerns or issues are reported to the office/medical professional. Duties are carried out as agreed in the care plan and any additional requests by the family are actioned. The care provided by the carers is very good and the service user and family are more
than happy with this.

Dad's two male carers looked after him for over a year. When he became seriously ill they took on his personal care with the greatest tact and kindness. They were a familiar and reassuring presence for both Dad and my mother when he neared the end of life. Bluebird Care Newport were always reliable
and helpful when I had to deal with the office. I would thoroughly recommend them to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.730)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.730) out of 10 for Bluebird Care Newport is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.730 for Bluebird Care Newport is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 74 Ratings = 4.73

  • b) 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 Newport is based on 12 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
