About Bluebird Care

Written by the company

Since 2004, Bluebird Care has been here to keep loved ones where they feel safest: at home. We started as a family business, and today we’re honoured to be a trusted partner in home care for families across the UK through our network of over 200 local teams.

Our purpose is simple yet profound: we’re here to enrich the lives of those we care for—helping them stay independent, maintain dignity, and enjoy the everyday comforts of home. Our team of compassionate professionals is dedicated to making this possible, day in and day out.

At Bluebird Care, we know how hard it can be to balance care with life’s many demands. We understand the emotional weight that comes with aging, illness, or disability, and we’re here to provide support that feels not just capable, but caring.

We offer a wide range of services, from personal care and companionship to dementia support and end-of-life care—always tailored to the unique needs and wishes of each person we care for. And we’re here for families, too, helping lift the responsibility from your shoulders so you can focus on being the son or daughter, rather than the caregiver.

Bluebird Care stands out because we genuinely listen. We make sure that every service is crafted around the people we serve. With us, you can trust that your loved ones are in gentle, reliable hands, so you can have peace of mind and they can have the comfort of home.

Excellent and reliable

The team at Bluebird have been caring for my brother for many years. The team may have had some changes but so have my brothers needs, through all the changes the commication and the quality of the care has been consistent and thorough. The carers are always friendly, polite and professional , treating my brother with care and respect and work as a team. Bluebird is excellent at providing reliable, trustworthy well trained caring staff . Tendia and Leanne in the office are always easy to contact and very efficient at sorting out any problems quickly. Would highly recommend the team at Bluebird Salisbury , they give me peace of mind I know my brother is always in good hands! Thank you.

Excellent care

Bluebird have been providing excellent care for my aunt, who always looks forward to their weekly visits. Our family live some distance away, so it's hugely reassuring to be able to trust that her needs are not only met but are tailored to what she wants.

Friendly and caring staff much appreciated by 95 year old living at home

My mother is now 95 and wants to remain living in her house. We used Bluebirds over 10 years ago when my father was suffering from dementia and my mother needed help to look after him . My mother was impressed by the care and support they gave then so she decided to use Bluebirds for her own care needs .
My mother has found all the ‘Bluebirds’ friendly and caring and is very happy with the service she receives. She would recommend them .

Bluebird Care

I rated Bluebird with 5 stars because we have had very good service from the carers who visit and also the contact that is available through the office staff.
Having the carers to call in each day to make a warm meal and plate an evening sandwich gives the family peace of mind knowing someone else is also assessing the health and wellbeing of their loved one.
I also know that if circumstances change I am able to contact the office and put in place extra visits.
The carers have been really good, when they see changes in my mother I am contacted or they will put in place a procedure to contact a doctor. This is reassuring.
My mother is more comfortable with just a few regular carers who she knows and doesn’t like lots of different people as she can’t remember their names. Over the past few months this is being more established, which we are grateful for.
The pricing may sound higher than other agencies but it is quoted at full cost, no add ons for mileage, weekends or holidays, which means we know the monthly payments and can budget accordingly.
Our family are grateful for how the Bluebird Care team have handled the changes over the past year and look forward to the continuing care.

When you are looking after an elderly…

When you are looking after an elderly parent in their own home it is very difficult.
Bluebird carers visit my 92 yrs old mother twice a week to help ease the workload. But also have been able to cover extra visits for her when we have needed them. The ladies are efficient and kind and what’s more important Mum enjoys their visits and it’s someone else for her to chat too.

Telephoned Ely office for live in carer back up the week before last. I was told no live in carer for 2 weeks.
-
I telephoned today and was told no live in carer or visiting carer available over Christmas except for existing clients. Told I would have to ring around agencies on day I needed care on the off chance one would have a carer available.

Why did they you put 2 cards through my door offering their services ?
Timewasters imo, certainly wasted my time.

Hello Geoffrey,

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent experience when contacting our Ely office.

After reviewing your enquiry, it appears that you were seeking “back-up” live-in care to cover in the event that your privately employed carer was unavailable. While we completely understand your situation, as a regulated and fully managed care provider, we’re unable to offer ad-hoc or emergency cover without first completing the necessary care planning, assessments, and safety checks. These steps are essential to ensure the wellbeing and safety of both our customers and our team members.

Our teams are also scheduled to our customers who see us daily, therefore, at the key times of the year such as Christmas, they are able to have the stability and continuity of having their regular team.

The leaflets you received are part of our general marketing to raise awareness of our fully managed care services, which differ from private or unregulated arrangements. We’re sorry if this caused any confusion, and we’d be happy to explain the process in more detail should you wish to explore longer-term or planned live-in care options in the future.

Kind regards,
Bluebird Care Manager
Bluebird Care Ely

My mum had Bluebird Heywood for about 9 months before having to go into a care home. From first contact they were very supportive and understanding, finding the right level of care required. The carers were superb, caring and very helpful. My mim loved all the carers and looked forward to seeing them twice a day. I would like to thank Bluebird and all the staff for everything they did and their kindness.

I had previously worked in a care home for 21 years and really needed a change as everything in the care home was Rush Rush Rush. I am now on my eighth year with Bluebird. My only regret is that I wished I had joined them sooner, such a great company to work for very caring would highly recommend.

Bluebird acted fast when I contacted them and soon arranged a visit to assess the situation. A care plan was put in place quickly and efficently. The manager helped me enormously with practical tips and was very kind, cheerful and efficient. Carers were well liked by the person I look after and performed wonders making him clean and tidy again. Probably not the cheapest Care Agency but certainly one of the best we are very pleased with the first two weeks..
