About Bluebird Care (Gravesham & Dartford)
We are Bluebird Care covering Gravesham and Dartford, supporting people in their own homes across this part of Kent. The people we visit include older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Calls range from a short morning visit through to several a day, covering personal care, medication, meals, help to move safely around the home, shopping, appointments and company. Continuity is the part of this work we take most seriously. It is far easier to send whoever is nearest, and the result is a stream of strangers coming into somebody's house at the most personal moments of their day. Building a small regular team around each person takes more effort and means the person at the door knows the household, knows where things are kept and knows what the person is normally like. We agree support with the individual and with whoever they want involved, write it in plain language and revisit it as things change. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are arranging care at home locally, please get in touch. We are happy to come out and talk it over with no obligation on your part.
