Thank you for all the amazing care that you give to Jack every single day and for treating him with such kindness, dignity and respect.

We have been delighted with the attentive care, support and service Bluebird have given to our Mum since we first started using them in March 2026. From our initial contact with Dawn, who was extremely helpful, Megan and her team have been very supportive and understanding with Mum's onset dementia needs, making her feel at ease and comfortable with their visits. On one visit Mum was cooking a raw chicken with the gas oven on, the carer kindly rang to advise me, as she was concerned the oven could be left on and had I not been able to check later that Mum had switched it off, the carer had offered to do a further visit later that night if needs be. This was very reassuring and we couldn't ask for better care and support. Thank you Bluebird :)

Supporting someone living with dementia requires understanding, patience and a personalised approach, so it is wonderful to know that Dawn, Megan and the wider team have helped your mum feel comfortable and at ease with her visits.
Thank you also for highlighting the actions of our carer regarding the gas oven. The safety and wellbeing of our customers is always our priority, and we are pleased that the communication and support provided gave you reassurance and peace of mind.

Bluebird care has been nothing short of exceptional. During my dads battle with terminal cancer, we struggled to balance caring for him around the clock with our own lives. Megan in the office organised everything so easily for us. She organised the same set of carers to allow my dad to form a trusting relationship. All feedback was always taken seriously and we always felt like bluebird care genuinely really really cared for our dad. It is such a relief to leave your parent in not just capable hands but hands that genuinely care about their client. As a human. What a lovely team. This line of work is where true hero's reside. I'll be forever grateful. Xxx xxx

Bluebird Care provided care and support to my dad and our family during the most difficult time of our lives. In his final months, the team delivered round-the-clock, 24-hour care with unwavering compassion, professionalism, and respect. The staff treated my dad with genuine dignity, kindness, and patience, ensuring he was always comfortable and cared for as an individual, not just a patient. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond gave us real peace of mind, knowing he was in the best possible hands at all times. What truly set Bluebird Care apart was the support they extended to our entire family. They showed incredible empathy, offering reassurance, guidance, and emotional support when we needed it most. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their presence made an incredibly painful time more manageable.
We will always be deeply grateful for the care, respect, and humanity they showed. I cannot recommend Bluebird Care Rochdale highly enough.

The carers and the backup crew know exactly what they are doing and they know how to provide the best possible care with the patient in mind. They tick all the boxes too legally, with regular reviews and advice, following all of the guidelines in place.

Bluebird Care Rochdale have looked after my grandma with dementia for years and we can't thank them enough. Their fantastic care has helped her stay in her own home, which means everything to her and to us.
She was very against having carers at first, but the team have been so patient, kind and consistent. Over time they've built genuine relationships with her and it's been amazing to see the change.
The daily updates on the portal are very reassuring, especially when we can't always be there in person. Knowing what's been done and how she's been each day helps to put our minds at ease.
The team's dementia care advice and support has been invaluable too, helping us to solve problems along the way. Without their support, my grandma would almost certainly have had to move into a care home by now. Thank you to everyone at Bluebird Care Rochdale.

We brought the team in for mum and dad for a trial run in January, as mum's health condition meant some extra support was needed at home to give dad some time and space. Whilst we were trialling the service, we experienced outstanding support, care and communication from the Bluebird Rochdale team, who had a good understanding of our situation and what was needed.
In the end we decided to pause for the time being, as mum felt it was still not necessary, and possibly a little too early. However we now know where to come for amazing care at home, when the inevitable changes will come and mum and dad will again be in need of more help.

Bluebird care took over my mums caring needs when her dementia accelerated to the point I couldn't continue to care for her on my own. I was so worried about taking this service on for her but my worries were unfounded after I'd spoke to Beryl and John. They made sure the minimum staff would care for mum thus reducing her anxiety of strange faces. The staff they have are caring understanding and nothing is too much trouble and always going that extra yard to ensure mums care and safety was priority. They would take mum on shopping trips when the weather permitted. But the fact I didn't worry once when they were there made my life less stressful while I was working. Unfortunately mums health deteriorated so much the only option was for her to go into 24 hr care. But it has to said without them and their team of excellent staff my mum would not of had the length of time at home that we all wanted.

Bluebird Care Rochdale have been absolutely fantastic! They support my nana, who has dementia, and the care they provide is truly personal and thoughtful. I mainly use them to take her out, and she always has the best time - whether it's a drive out or enjoying a coffee somewhere nice. On days when she doesn't feel up for going out, they spend time with her looking through old photos and helping her reminisce, which she really enjoys.
Communication is brilliant too - I can easily see all their notes from each visit on the system, which gives me real peace of mind. They've also stepped in to help when her other carers weren't available, without any fuss, and I'm so grateful for that flexibility.
I would definitely recommend Bluebird Care Rochdale to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and genuinely caring support for their loved ones.

Anyone experiencing the search for a care package for a poorly relative will know how daunting and important that decision feels. It felt scary to be faced with lots of new terminology, endless numbers of phone calls and so much to be coordinated. We felt a little lost but knew that we wanted to provide mum with the best possible care. From our very first interaction with the Bluebird team, it was clear that they were different to so many care providers. Unlike others, Bluebird asked questions, they listened, they understood. It always felt like they were looking to make mum as comfortable as possible. Sometimes that was moving, handling or typical caring responsibilities. Other times it meant simply having a laugh or a joke, holding her hand and sharing their stories or holiday plans.
We are so thankful to the Bluebird team for their care of mum, and it was such a wonderfully human experience. We recommend Bluebird, without hesitation, to anyone looking for care in Rochdale.

My mother had a problem with her medication last night, the carer immediately called a gp and personally drove all the way yo Manchester to retrieve it. She then went back to mum's to administer it. I am absolutely thrilled with the care and attention to detail. Thankyou Bluebird

Beryl has vast experience working within a vulnerable personal environment. She has been working within the Care Sector in the UK since the family returned from overseas in early 2013. Before that, in addition to raising her family, she was primarily employed in children's Education, often within the Special Educational Needs (SEN) specialisation whilst frequently moving as was an expected part of Forces family life (13 different homes in 23 years). Beryl has 2 grown sons, although she still likes nothing more than to mother them whenever they visit. Beryl was born in Birch Hill Hospital, Rochdale and grew up in the area and loves being back home, closer to her family and a large network of long-standing and loyal friends. Beryl loves to support people who need it and looks to provide a Premium Service built on excellent training and the enthusiasm and compassion of Quality Staff. She likes to travel, when allowed and watches TV soaps, but only the Northern ones.

John’s journey began in 1990 when he left his parents' home to join the British Army, where he served with distinction for nearly 26 years. He returned to the area in 2015, bringing with him a wealth of experience and skills that he has applied as an accomplished Management Consultant. His background in the armed forces, particularly in leadership and training, has equipped him with a passion for supporting and developing others, especially those who are vulnerable and socially isolated.
John is particularly committed to training, using his enthusiasm to contribute meaningfully to the success of the business. He is genuinely inspired by the compassion and dedication demonstrated by those who work in care, and he channels this admiration into delivering engaging, realistic, and effective training sessions. His goal is to empower carers with the skills and confidence needed to excel in their vital roles.
Having served in numerous places across the globe, John is thrilled to be back home, reconnecting with old schoolmates and reliving fond memories from his youth. He has been deeply touched by the warmth and friendliness of the community since his return and is a proud participant at the local Veterans' breakfast, where he enjoys the camaraderie and support of fellow ex-servicemen.
Though he describes himself as a keen yet mostly retired footballer, John can still be found playing five-a-side matches a few times a week, keeping his passion for the sport alive. In addition to his sporting pursuits, he is a Dementia Friends Champion, dedicated to raising awareness of this increasingly prevalent condition. Through his community involvement and advocacy, John continues to make a difference, both on and off the pitch, and remains committed to supporting those who choose such a meaningful career path in care.

Dawn joined our team as a Care Assistant in 2022, bringing with her a wealth of hands-on experience in care, becoming a senior care assistant quite quickly due to her can-do attitude and eye for providing a solution to the many challenges the role can present. Her impressive background is not purely limited to frontline care; she has also spent extensive time in office roles, where she managed payroll, bookkeeping, and account reconciliation with skill and precision.
This blend of practical care knowledge and administrative expertise has made her an incredibly valuable member of our team, seamlessly contributing both in the field and behind the scenes. We are fortunate to have someone so versatile and dedicated to making a difference!

Georgia has been a dedicated member of Bluebird Care Rochdale since 2019. She began her journey as a Care Assistant, a role she absolutely loved, and her warmth and commitment quickly made her a valued part of the team. Over the years, she has had a significant impact on both colleagues and customers, who have always appreciated her kind and compassionate nature.
During her time with Bluebird Care, Georgia went on maternity leave twice. Throughout these periods, the unwavering support of the company never faltered. She fondly recalls the thoughtful baby baskets she received, the fruit basket delivered to her at the start of the pandemic, and the gift voucher for a local restaurant, all of which made her feel genuinely cared for and appreciated. It is this level of kindness and support that makes Bluebird Care Rochdale feel more like a family than just a workplace.
Georgia is full of praise for John, Beryl, and Michelle, recognising their passion for the well-being of both customers and staff. She also highlights the kindness and dedication of her fellow team members, noting that customers often comment on how the carers go above and beyond. The sense of camaraderie and shared purpose within the team is something Georgia is incredibly proud to be a part of.
