Why choose us?

Care at home includes many benefits, the main one being able to stay in your own home as long as possible.

Stay in the comfort of your home

At Bluebird Care, we think staying in your own home as long as possible is so important. You can keep your daily routine, be around your much-loved pets and couples can stay together. The familiarity of being in your home reduces the stress and anxiety that a care home would.

Personalised and tailored care

From enquiry to initial assessment and delivery of care, everything is tailored to your needs. Our operations work hard to develop a care plan which is suited to your needs, with guidance from our in house reregistered nurse, if complex needs are considered.

Independence and flexibility

Its important when receiving care that we promote our customers individuality and growth. For example, choosing their meals, keeping up with activities in their community and setting their schedules. Your home, your care.

Companionship Care support

The best part about receiving care is knowing you will always have a friendly face around. Our carers go out their way to make you smile and laugh and you can talk about your memories over a cuppa. Loneliness in elderly people is often overlooked and a simple conversation can go a long way.

There's always a decision between going to a care home and home care, but its not a hard decision to make. Care homes do not provide that tailored support you need when receiving home care. This is why we are here, to help you stay independent with the personalised care you deserve.

	Home Care	Care Home
Location	Care is provided in the individual's home, where memories are held and new ones are created. With the likes of their partner and pet by their side.	Residents move into a dedicated care facility, separated from their partner and pet.
Independence	Greater independence, as individuals stay in familiar surroundings, where thy built their life and memories.	Structured routine with less personal flexibility. In a new setting, which causes stress and anxiety for the elderly.
Personalised	Care plans are tailored to individual needs and lifestyles.	Care is provided based on the general structure of the home and not you.
One-to-One Care	Dedicated, one-on-one support during visits or live-in care. You decide what care you want, your routine and your life!	Care staff support multiple residents at a time, with next to no personalised support.
Familiarity & Comfort	Individuals stay in their own home with familiar surroundings and routines. Family can visit whenever.	New environment that may take time to adjust to. Don't need to wait for a time slot to see your family.
