Review from L T (Daughter of Client) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Bluebird Care Ashford Kent was very responsive to all my mother's needs. They were able to provide a live-in carer as well as home visit carers to support my mother in her declining months. They were very accommodating to a private live-in carer who alternated with the Bluebird carer. The teamwork and work ethic contributed to a reassuring level of care which had to be adapted as circumstances changed. I would (and have) recommended Bluebird to others in need of assistance and quality care.

Overall Experience

Mum has had a really good experience with Bluebird Ashford. Carers are all kind and helpful and some are truly outstanding - really making an effort to chat and get to know Mum and Dad, noticing possible issues & putting them right, & being unflappable and practical when problems crop up. Office staff are friendly and responsive, and also do some "hands on" care so they know Mum and her needs first hand.

Bluebird are the SAS of home care - the Special Angels Services.

From the moment we onboarded with them, their service has been outstanding. Their use of the app, along with their exceptional punctuality and professionalism, has given us complete confidence.

After more than five years of caring for my mum at home, I finally feel like I have a genuine partner providing us both with high-quality care and peace of mind. I only wish we had commissioned them sooner!

A huge thank you to the care manager, marketing associate, customer supervisor and the entire team - you are truly God-sent angels.

We were let down abysmally by our previous care company. Bluebird stepped in without hesitation. We the family are completely happy with the care our family member receives from the carers to the support teams in the office. Whatever issues arise with her care or general wellbeing and comfort it is always dealt with professionally, with compassion and total understanding of her needs. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Bluebird has been a godsend to my elderly uncle during the pandemic and the lockdown, and to us. When we haven’t been able to visit we have arranged extra care visits, sometimes at short notice. Bluebird is always so flexible and accommodating. The carers are very professional and kind, and always raise concerns when warranted. It has really helped our family during this pandemic knowing Bluebird are on hand.

Bluebird Care (Ashford) have been a wonderful help to me during a very difficult time looking after my partner with dementia, Parkinson's and various other medical problems. All their staff are delightful and willing to help with anything. They are friendly and helpful, caring to myself and my partner who is treated with dignity and not condescending as can happen. I will always be grateful and would highly recommend them.

I care for my wife and Bluebird Care provide a domiciliary Carer to sit with my wife once a month. The service provided by both Bluebird Care and the Carer has been outstanding. The Carer is very friendly and gets on incredibly well with my wife. She joins in with my wife's crafting and helps with the garden flower pots. I am fighting hard to get more time from Bluebird Care with this particular Carer as her time has been incredibly helpful.

Very good service always on time or phone to let me know if there's a problem. I would recommend Bluebird Care which my husband has been having for the last year and staff are always polite and caring and respectful and helpful. They try to encourage my husband to do something e.g games etc to improve his cognitive ability.

Jo CawdronJob Title:Care ManagerJoined: 2022

With over 10 years of experience in Health and Social Care, I began my career as a Carer and have since progressed to the role of Supervisor. Currently, I serve as the Coordinator and Trainer at Bluebird Care Ashford, where I take pride in recruiting new staff, conducting supervisions, spot checks, end-of-probation reviews, appraisals, and handling any incidents as part of the on-call team.

My qualifications include 'Train the Trainer' and a Level 5 in Management and Leadership, and I recently became a Dementia Friend. I'm always eager to expand my knowledge and skill set to better serve our team and clients.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and two dogs, going on holidays, shopping, and having fun evenings out with friends.

I am deeply passionate about training and mentoring new staff members, helping them grow and succeed as care experts within the company.

Sam Simpson
Sam SimpsonJob Title:Care SupervisorJoined: 2026

With over 25 years of experience in the care sector, my journey began at the age of 15 when I worked as a cleaner in a care home. Over the course of 21 years, I progressed to the role of Care Expert and then Senior Care Expert, completing my NVQ Levels 2 and 3 along the way. During this time, I gained extensive experience working with individuals living with dementia.

After leaving the care home, I worked in two other care settings before transitioning to a private ambulance company, where I completed my FREC3 training. I joined Bluebird Care just over a year ago, initially as a Care Expert before applying for the position of Customer Supervisor.

Outside of work, I am a proud mother of three and enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. I love going for walks in parks or by the beach, appreciating the outdoors during my downtime.

"In my current role, I take great satisfaction in visiting customers for reviews and assessments, ensuring we provide the best possible care."

Samantha Hart
Samantha HartJob Title:Operations managerJoined: 2025

I have worked in the care sector for just over 15 years. I started my career as a care worker, then moved on to palliative care and supporting people to remain at home for the final days - this was when I realised what a difference care within your own home can make, and my passion continued to grow! After fulfilling this role for over 2 years, I moved into the care office, assisting with managing the care rotas, assessments, recruitment, supporting care staff and the general day-to-day running of the service. Within this time, I completed my level 3 in health and social care, as I had completed my level 2 at college. I was then promoted to become the registered manager of the service. I fulfilled this role for 7 years.

Whilst performing my duties as a registered manager, I went on to complete my level 5 in leadership and management in health and social care and was awarded this qualification in 2021.

Within my time as a registered manager, I won the KICA Registered Manager of the Year award and was also a finalist at the Great British Care Awards.

I believe my journey through care has enabled me to grow, learn and achieve the best outcomes for the people using our services, and I hope we can continue this for a long time to come at Bluebird Care Ashford.
