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.

Telephoned Ely office for live in carer…

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

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.

As a relatively new starter

As a relatively new starter, I am finding this a great company to work for. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of taking up a care support role. They value their clients and staff equally well

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..

Gold standards care by Bluebirds…

The care that is provided by Bluebirds is second to none. The carers that come out to visit your family member are kind, friendly and approachable. They also raise any wellbeing or health concerns with the office staff who are then in constant touch with you and medical professionals. The care shown towards my mother in law over the past 8-10 months has been amazing and a peace of mind in knowing she can stay in her own home and receive gold standard care from the team. The office staff are highly supportive and approachable should a family member have concerns and they will liaise with medical professionals. I highly recommend this care service for your loved ones.

Thank You Bluebird Care

Wow Bluebird Care, I live locally in Cannock. I had a fall in Cannock I fell over a traffic calming mound. I fell on my face, I didn't know what to do when a lady parking her car came rushing over to me helped me to the sitting position, called an ambulance, then 2 of her colleagues came, one administered first aid the other went to direct the ambulance. The first lady called my son provided me with a foil blanket and something to sit on as the ground was wet. These three people were like angels sent to help me. My husband and I are pensioners and are not at the stage to need extra care, but I found out these three ladies were carers for Bluebird Care. If I need care later on down the line I would certainly be contacting Bluebird Care. If these ladies can react like they did to a complete stranger I can only imagine how they treat their clients. Thank you Bluebird Care.

Wonderful special people - 100%

I would like to reiterate on behalf of my father and his four children just how grateful we have been for your care, help and personalised support. From the very first meeting up until after his death, we cannot fault Bluebird Care and will be recommending you highly to everyone. Your attention to the details of our father's needs and your understanding and fulfilment of these were second to none. We all felt genuinely cared for by all of your team - you wonderful, special people know who you are. My father looked forward to your visits and called his favourite carers a 'true blessing' and boasted that they were '100%'. So, again. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you.

I have worked for Bluebird N E Lincs…

I have worked for Bluebird N E Lincs for nearly 6 years. My overall experience has been positive and very enjoyable. About a year ago the company faced some unusual challenges which did cause some turbulence. However since then our new management team have worked tirelessly to resolve any issues and continue to do so. I believe the company is now back on track and maintain Bluebird is a great place to work. Caring can be challenging at times but I have always felt valued and supported by my team. Most of my customers have been with us for many years and I am very proud to be part of their journey.
