Over the last number of years Bluebird Care have been looking after my mum working in partnership with Old People's Mental Health Winchester. Ours is a bit of an unusual setup as i live in Northern Ireland so i am not readily on hand to just pop in and lend a hand. However that being said the team are
great they keep me regularly updated and have a chat about ongoing issues with mum and her dementia. We have covered lost TV remotes, hearing aids and an allegedly stolen set of teeth that were sat on the windowsill in the bathroom. They are in several times a day and occasionally extra if i get a phone call from meals on wheels where mum wont let them in or just ignores the doorbell. I have provided them access to a card so they do mum's shopping and buy extra items that come up unexpectedly keeping me fully updated as required. They provide a valuable service in lite of our difficult situation and make themselves available as required. Definitely recommended.

I receive care twice a week to help me shower and give other general help. I have found every carer efficient, polite and helpful. I am impressed that Blue Bird staff receive in-service training, which is reflected in their work. I have never been let down, every planned visit has taken place at the
time requested.

Our aunt who has Alzheimer's has had care and support from Bluebird Care Fareham since November 2024.
We are so pleased that she is now reliably getting her medication (including one for Alzheimer's), meals, the house is clean and tidy and she is able to get into a made bed each night, which all just
gives her back her dignity.
The care team are all very kind and caring, and have a genuine interest in her wellbeing. The office team are professional, understanding, kind and nothing is too much trouble.
We feel so reassured that she is seeing people every day which not only really helps her mood, but also means we know she is safe.
She and I get a weekly schedule of all her visits so I can coordinate a food shop delivery when one of the team are with her to help put it all away.
Her support needs have already increased and will again as time goes on, but we as a family are confident that will be well cared for.

Bluebird Care has been looking after my mum for a few months now. Mum was reluctant to have carers come to her home but she has taken to all the carers that visit her, saying how helpful and caring they are and now looks forward to their visits. The Fareham team are very accommodating and will arrange
extra visits at short notice. I feel much happier knowing that Mum is getting company and a good start to her day, I would happily recommend their services to anyone looking for care for their loved ones.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Our team have been working hard to ensure Mum felt safe, happy and supported with them and it's wonderful to hear the hard work has paid off.

The carer is the sixth carer for our Mother due to Mum having quite a determined personality. She is amazing as mum sees her as part of the family even saying love you before she goes to bed. Sit-in carers, the manager and staff have all listened to the family and as a result, Mum is content and happy
in her own home. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. It means so much to hear first-hand how our team have helped to make a real difference to your mum and your family's lives. We truly feel Mum is part of our Bluebird family now, and we're so happy to see her thrive in her own home.

Bluebird Care has been looking after my close friend for three years now with increasing extra attention required. They always show thought and comfort for the client. The staff are considerate, efficient and reliable. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
The Fareham branch is well-managed and responds
to any requests for extra help on short notice.
I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Overall service is very good. Your care workers are caring, respectful, cheerful and reliable.
I would have given a 5-star rating if it wasn’t for the fact that yesterday I was informed that your notice of cancellation of a visit is changing from 48 hours to 28 days in October, even if the client
has been admitted to hospital.
One of the main reasons we use Bluebird is the flexibility we have with the 48-hour cancellation period. I am very disappointed with the change in your terms and conditions.

Bluebird Care Fareham offer a great domiciliary care service. It's reassuring to know that Mum can stay in her own home and be kept well, safe and happy with regular visits from carers, giving the family peace of mind. The management team are easy to contact and more than helpful when issues arise
and sort problems quickly. The visiting care staff are a very special group of people who all work really hard and often long hours. I have found them to be kind, patient and friendly with Mum and also pretty punctual, thorough and efficient. Staff turnover does seem to be an issue but apparently quite usual in this line of work and recently under very difficult circumstances. None of this has affected the quality of Care Mum has received throughout and to date. I would highly recommend using Bluebird Care Fareham.

I have been very satisfied with all the care that my husband has received. They are all cheerful and friendly and willing. When I have had to change the timing this has been done efficiently. My husband has enjoyed all the activities that have been provided. I am very grateful for all their support.

Thanks to all the carers that support mum each day and all the work they do which is above and beyond which really helps take some of the pressure off of me. The communication with Blue Bird is good however I was slightly surprised not to be formally notified that there was a new care supervisor.

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 4.915 for Bluebird Care Fareham is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.915

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Bluebird Care Fareham is based on 8 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 = 4.8
