About Bluebird Care
Bluebird Care in Worthing supports people in their own homes across the town and the surrounding part of West Sussex. Most of our work is with older adults, a good number living with dementia. We also support younger adults, people with a physical disability, and people who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing. We think the length of a visit matters more than most agencies admit. A rushed call is not a cheaper version of a proper one, it is a different and much less useful thing. Somebody hurried through a wash, handed a sandwich and left to it has been processed rather than helped. So we plan visits with enough time to do the job without anybody being chivvied along, and we would rather turn work away than take on more than we can deliver that way. Where dementia is involved we take our lead from the family, who already know which words work and which part of the day is difficult. Where sight or hearing has gone we agree in advance how we will announce ourselves at the door, and we say what we are about to do before we do it. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ring us and we will come out and listen before suggesting anything.
