About Bluebird Care (Swale)
Bluebird Care Swale provides support at home to adults in Gillingham and across Medway and Swale. The people we work with include older people who need help to stay in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment, younger adults who need support to live independently, people living with an eating disorder and people dealing with alcohol or drug misuse. That breadth only works because support is built around the individual. A morning call to help an older person wash and dress has almost nothing in common with supporting somebody through recovery, or with helping an autistic adult run their own household on their own terms. So we assess properly, agree the support with the person, and change it when their circumstances change. Some of the areas we work in carry real stigma, and people have often had more experience of being judged than helped. We try to be straightforward and useful instead. Staff are expected to be reliable, discreet and honest. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you are arranging care at home locally.
