Testimonials
‘Bluebird Care have been able to come and care for my husband at a very difficult time. The help of their staff has been invaluable to both of us. Unused to asking for help, we found the transition to accept care made easy. It all worked out extremely easy and well organised.’
‘The care provided by the Bluebird team is excellent. The staff are very friendly, polite, patient and reassured my mum (aged 101) is in safe hands. The staff are always going above and beyond their remit when attending to Mum's needs. They also spent time chatting with Mum, which is a massive positive for her mental wellbeing.’
‘We would like to express our grateful thanks for your care of Mum during her final months. Through your care and compassion we were able to keep her in her own home, surrounded by the love and devotion of Dad and her family, which was her expressed wish. Thank you for going the extra mile.’
