Review from Jane C (Daughter of Client) published on 27 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and her team have made a huge difference to my Mother’s life. My Mother was very reticent about having carers when she came out of hospital to return home. As daughters we live a long way away, go regularly but care was needed daily. The carers have built up lovely, trusting relationships
and are a lifeline to Mum, even more so during the C19 lockdown. The manager has adapted the care needed from doing more and organising a hairdresser as Mum cannot wash her hair. I am sent weekly photos, which is lovely as it is the only time I get to see Mum as she does not do video call etc.
Bluebird Care are brilliant for Mum, mentally as well as physically, she could not manage without them. I would recommend them, without reservation to anyone.

I live in Canada and have only met my parents Bluebird carers occasionally when I visit them in Wales. Those I have met seemed very pleasant and helpful. They are very reliable and it's wonderful to know my parents are well looked after. Whenever I have phoned or emailed Bluebird myself they are
extremely efficient and I've been very happy with their service.

I have found Bluebird Care amazing since joining them last year. After an awful experience with my previous provider, it's been a real breath of fresh air. Their professionalism alongside their very caring nature always has me reassured. I would happily recommend Bluebird to my friends and family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Have been excellent. Gone above and beyond. If washing up in the sink from last night will not leave it. Go to the local shop for birthday cards, tins of beans and shepherds pie, etc. Always get a receipt. Are excellent in my personal care and always go at my speed, not theirs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Switched to Bluebird after inconsistent service from a previous provider. Seem excellent so far. More continuity with a regular carer. More regular in timings. And more professional all-round - helpful and willing to go above and beyond. In spite of the coronavirus pandemic, they are maintaining standards.
My father seems happier with the quality of the carers - they chat to him and spend more time on his (relatively straightforward) needs. Good punctual communication with the office too. Very pleased so far.

Bluebird provides occasional daycare for my father - they are great at stepping up at the last minute, and their staff are kind, considerate, thoughtful and understanding. They also do a great job of providing continuity of care even at short notice. A professional, efficient and warm service - thank
you!

A fantastic company that exceeded my expectations of care. Their service and attention to detail was tremendous and gave you a real sense of comfort to know that those you care about are in the best hands. The work of all carers and particularity the care coordinator was second to none, and I would
thoroughly recommend them time and time again. Thank you.

Review from Daryl G (Friend of Client) published on 11 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bluebird were called in a private capacity to enable my friend to come home from Hospital. The care coordinator dealt with my enquiry efficiently and understood the circumstances. Care was put in place quickly resulting in my friend coming home a week later. The carers arrived on time, were friendly,
compassionate and did all that was asked of them. When in a difficult position needing night sitters, from requesting the service on Thursday a sitter was in place for Monday and the following nights. My experience of Bluebird has been a good one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An extremely caring and passionate team of caregivers who truly go above and beyond the call of duty. During what would typically be a difficult time in the cold weather they always put the clients first, ensuring they get the very best care and attention at all times. I truly couldn't ask for anything
more and feel comfortable in the fact that my uncle is in their capable hands.
