About Bluebird Care West

We provide care at home in Weymouth and across west Dorset. The people we support include older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairments. Needs that varied cannot be met from a standard package, so we ask before we plan. For an older person, help often centres on personal care, medication, meals and keeping the house manageable. For a younger adult it is more likely to be about independence: running a home, getting to work or college, handling money and keeping appointments. Where somebody is living with dementia, a familiar and unhurried carer does more good than anything written down. Covering a town and a good deal of countryside means reliability has to be planned rather than promised. We would rather be honest about which places and times we can cover than commit to visits we cannot keep. Where we do commit, we try to send the same carers consistently. Our staff are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and have senior colleagues they can reach. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking into care at home, please get in touch for an honest conversation about what we can take on.
