Bluebird carers have been working with my father, now 92, for a couple of years, allowing him to remain living alone in his home of over 50 years standing. They have been very sympathetic and adaptable, since my father does not readily accept that he needs care, and will try to refuse help when he, in fact, needs it. The carers have managed the difficult balance of tactful intervention whilst giving him his own space, and have built genuinely respectful and friendly relationships with him. I have found the supervisors very ... read more
My mother could never have remained in her own home without the help of Bluebird Care (Oxford, South & West Oxfordshire). The carers were sensitive to her needs and supportive but never 'taking over'. They were good natured and carried out their (not always pleasant) tasks with good humour. I visited/stayed with my mother 2/3 nights per fortnight and therefore regularly saw the carers at work. Very good.
The staff at Bluebird over the past year have treated my father with dignity, compassion and professionalism. In turn they have supported me in the worst of times and have laughed with me at the best of times. They have become friends, confidants and literally a shoulder to cry on. I would highly recommend the staff at Bluebird as they have shown dedication, care and empathy in what is a very challenging profession.
Bluebird is a really great service. My family felt comforted and safe when they helped to care for Dad at home. They go the extra mile. The lead supervisor and her team know exactly what is needed to care for people and, more than that, they make it feel very personal and tailormade. But crucially, the lead supervisor also knows 'the system' and how it works. This makes life so much easier for families who have enough to worry about without having to research, and then navigate, the services they hoped they would never need... read more
I have found the agency excellent in every way - they are very thorough, reliable, responsive, helpful and friendly. They go into a great deal of detail regarding the condition and needs of the person needing care and have very kindly supplied the same carer on a number of occasions, to give my husband continuity.
My mother's wish has always been to live out her life at home. After a lengthy hospital stay, we've been able to get my mother home with the support of Bluebird. My mother's live-in carer is wonderful. She is kind, caring and attentive. Her patience with my mother, who has dementia, is amazing. I can't speak highly enough of her, the daily carers who come in to assist her and the supervisors at Bluebird.
In his 98th year, my father, a fiercely independent, long-since retired Doctor of Medicine - fully aware of increasing fragility and difficulty in performing daily tasks - but absolutely determined to continue living independently in his apartment for as long as possible, was persuaded to accept the support of carers supplied by Bluebird during the week (my brother and I alternated in visiting him at weekends). After devising a comprehensive care plan in consultation with him, the Lead Supervisor skillfully selected a small ... read more
My family and I are so glad we were able to have the professional care of Bluebird carers for Dad at the end of his long life. They bought him respectful, caring daily help. They raised his spirits and enabled him to carry on living feistily and independently. Thank you to all the team.
The standard of care provided was very high. We were confident that we would be contacted immediately if the carers noticed any changes in my mother-in-law's general health and they immediately contacted either the ambulance or the GP if there was any immediate cause for concern. It was very easy to contact the Care Supervisor by either phone and emails and any requests or problems were dealt with quickly and efficiently.
