Bluebird Care Wellbeing Checks in Lewisham & Southwark: Peace of Mind for Families and Loved Ones

At Bluebird Care Lewisham & Southwark, we know that keeping a loved one safe, healthy and independent at home is a top priority for families. That’s why this month we are shining a spotlight on health and wellbeing with the introduction of our Bluebird Care Wellbeing Check – a proactive service designed to detect changes early and provide families with real peace of mind.

What Is a Wellbeing Check?

Our Wellbeing Check is a short, friendly visit carried out by a senior member of our care team, right in the comfort of your loved one’s home. During the visit we use our Wellbeing Kit (the “blue box”) to take key health observations, including:

• Blood pressure

• Oxygen saturation

• Breathing rate

• Temperature

• Pulse

We record these using NEWS2 – the same nationally recognised early warning scoring system used by the NHS. This means healthcare professionals can quickly understand and respond if something needs attention.

Why Families in Lewisham & Southwark Value the Service

For many families, especially those who don’t live nearby, our Wellbeing Check offers reassurance and early intervention. If we notice any changes or potential risks, our team acts straight away – informing both the family and the appropriate healthcare professionals.

This small but powerful check can help prevent avoidable hospital admissions, keep your loved one well for longer, and support safer independent living at home.

Local Care, Community Trust

Because this service is delivered by our experienced, local Bluebird Care team, families know their loved one is being supported by people who understand the community as well as their individual care needs. It’s not just a health check – it’s an extra layer of safety, connection and care.

Helping Loved Ones Stay Safe and Well at Home

Our Wellbeing Checks are part of our ongoing commitment to high-quality home care in Lewisham & Southwark, supporting older people and vulnerable adults to live safely, confidently and comfortably in their own homes.
