I look forward to the help given to my sister with showering and giving her breakfast. I could not manage without help in the mornings and weekly changing of her bed linen.

I cannot thank Bluebird enough for everything they do. It is so reassuring to know Mum is in their capable hands. I don't know what we'd do without you!

Best care company I have had by far and I've had quite a few over the years. Office staff try to accommodate as best as possible you don't feel bad like others have if you need to change something. Carers 99.999 would introduce themselves and look at the plan to know what to do. Extremely friendly,
considerate the works, couldn't recommend enough 6*.

I find Bluebird Care Newport a good care company. In my opinion, the carers are very helpful and will go to the local shops for me and buy whatever I need, eg bread, milk and so on )I do pay for these items). I think some of the carers go above and beyond to help me. I consider myself to be lucky to
have such a company as good as Bluebird Care Newport.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was nervous at first about adjusting to having people coming into my flat who I did not know. However, I soon became comfortable with visits, due in no small part to the fact that the care providers were exceptionally nice ladies, who managed to make me feel more confident in my flat. I have been
very satisfied with the service provided and was very touched by the box of chocolates given to me on the final visit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bluebird has just helped us during a two-week transition period after my father came home from hospital.
I was immediately impressed, from the very first email and telephone contact, by the professionalism and thoughtfulness of the team.
My father was treated with dignity and kindness and we would
not hesitate to use Bluebird again in the future should the need arise.
Reply from Ray Morrison, Director at Bluebird Care Newport

Thank you for your kind words. I will ensure the team involved knows how much you appreciated them. They will be thrilled, and we look forward to supporting Dad again when he feels that he needs our help.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my mum has received has been excellent. Carers show compassion, patience and appear to genuinely care for my mum's wellbeing, with smiles and good humour most days. Any problems or changes in behaviour are always reported back via the office meaning you can trust mum is being monitored four
times daily. Mum is kept clean and well presented and we like the fact that the same carers look after her most days so she recognises who's calling overall very pleased with the service.

The carers who visit my parents are kind, caring, professional and they provide reassurance for the family that mum and dad are being well looked after. Excellent service. It is a shame that I can't name anyone as two carers, in particular, are exceptional and this deserves acknowledgement. Well done
and many thanks.

We last our nervous feeling as soon as we met the carers at the door. Each helper brings something that makes me enjoy the contact each day. I like to chatter so laughter often occurs. My husband has learned to relax and banter with them too.
Thank you.
Reply from Ray Morrison, Director at Bluebird Care Newport

Thank you for your very kind words. They will mean a lot to the team. Care at home is so much more than carrying out tasks and carers who can put a smile on your face and put you at ease are priceless.

Bluebird has been caring for mum for over 2+years. It was a joy to see mums face when they came as she was reluctant at first to have them to the house! Mum found them professional, respectful, loving, thoughtful and above all kind and considerate. Mum is not 101 years old, she looks forward to her
visits and regards them as her friends.

Reliable, friendly, competent staff. Regular care plan reviews and any changes made immediately, which is always reassuring. Bluebird Care understands Mums and family needs and always happy to discuss any concerns and proactively act to support care needs. Office staff always available to contact and
are always friendly and professional, and whilst always maintaining discretion in all areas of contact, whether that be face to face or on the phone.

The Bluebird team have been wonderful in providing the care and support Mum and Dad need. They see the same carers week in week out and have been able to build a trusting relationship with them. Mum and Dad want to live out their lives in the place they have called home for the past two decades and
are confident they should be able to with support of Bluebird team.
Reply from Ray Morrison, Director at Bluebird Care Newport

Thank you for taking the time to give us this wonderful feedback. The whole team works very hard to achieve the highest standards of care and support and in doing so builds up that essential trusting relationship. It is very welcome and much appreciated to receive your views on how we are performing.

I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis in January 2020. I live alone and engaged Bluebird to help me. The nurses who came were all very helpful as the steroids I was given impacted my health as I was unable to cope by myself. I had a setback in the spring of 2021 and applied to Bluebird again. They
have come to me twice a week for a bath. I also have arthritis.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Bluebird Care Newport is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.750 for Bluebird Care Newport is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.75
  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 Newport is based on 13 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.
