Could you be looking for Live-in care?

Live-in care is whereby our experienced Care Assistant would live with you in your own home and support you throughout the day and/or night for one-to-one support with your loved one, as opposed to regular scheduled visits throughout the day. This can be beneficial for people that require either companionship or personal care tasks and are looking to avoid going into a care home.

The Differences:

Round the clock tailored support can be provided as opposed to regular visits
Provides a genuine alternative to selling up and moving to a care home
Keeps couples together in the home they love
Avoidance of surrendering pets
Specialist support including catheter care, stoma care, and PEG care.
Overnight care and daily companionship (including accompaniment with outings)
Continue to engage in favourite pastimes, with your favourite people, in the community you are used to

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I be sure that my care assistant will stay the full period of the care visit and carry out all the tasks?

We take a considered and comprehensive approach to ensuring that your care service is exactly what is required.

Our care professionals are required to log their arrival and departure time at all visits using our electronic care planning system. All activities undertaken during the care visits are also logged using this system.

Customers are able to request a report of details held on the system at any time should they required this by contacting the office support teams.

What about my personal security?

Every member of the Bluebird Care team has been through a rigorous vetting procedure before they start working with us. In addition, all staff will always be in uniform and carry a personalised identification card which shows their name, photograph and signature.

What safeguards do I have?

Bluebird Care is registered with the local registration body in each country in which we operate. These bodies set the minimum standards by which we operate, however in every case we seek to exceed these minimum standards by a significant margin. We are also full members of the United Kingdom Home Care Association(UKHCA). Both of these bodies have standards which set out how we should operate. We also carry Public Liability insurance (£10million).

Is there anything that my care assistant is not able to do?

Once we have established exactly what you want on each visit, we will work to that list. We are not able to give injections or change sterile dressings. Also, we cannot carry out tasks which are likely to cause risk to either the person we provide care to or to the Bluebird Care care assistant. Tasks will be agreed with you in advance. Any changes to the plan can be discussed with your local Bluebird Care team.
