About Bluebird Care
We provide care at home in Woodford Green and across Waltham Forest, supporting older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people with physical disabilities and people with loss of sight or hearing. 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. In a part of London where people are used to seeing a different carer every week, continuity is the thing worth fighting for. We try to send the same staff to the same households, because that familiarity is what allows somebody to notice when a person is unwell, in pain or unusually withdrawn. Our staff are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and have senior colleagues they can reach when a situation is unclear. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking into care at home for yourself or a relative, please get in touch for an honest conversation.
