With a growing ageing population – it is often said that 70 is the new 60 and 80 is the new 70 etc – more and more people are choosing to keep their independence for as long as possible by staying in their own homes with the support of home care.

Bromsgrove-based Bluebird Care recognises the need for friendly, professional and quality care that “goes the extra mile”. Owners Diane and Rukshana, who double up as the Training and Care Managers respectively, are supported by Diane’s husband John together with an experienced supervisor, care co-ordinator and a team of professional carers – so Bluebird Care offers a wealth of experience and a shared common goal of making a difference to people’s lives.

Award-winning Bluebird Care is one of Britain’s foremost care providers, with franchisees and offices throughout the UK providing care for everyone: people with learning or physical difficulties, short term respite care, post-operative support and care for older people.

John says: “For many people the questions about care don’t arise until there is a need. In my own experience, my 90-year-old blind mother was diagnosed with dementia. Nothing could have prepared me for the experience of visiting and caring for my mother. 

“There are many care providers out there, but not many who determine the quality and type of care based on the needs of the individual rather than the convenience and cost. At Bluebird Care we only deliver the level of care that we would expect for our own vulnerable friends or relatives.”

Bluebird Care provides each individual with a tailor-made plan for their individual needs and, in going the extra mile, it provides not only traditional care but also assists with activities such as cooking, shopping, sightseeing, visiting relatives, trips to the theatre or taking up a new hobby.

John adds: “There’s growing flexibility in home care with changes to the way local government allocate funds, giving the individual a personal budget and more choice and freedom than ever before.

“Our care is flexible, from as little as half an hour a week to several hours a day or even live-in care; and we offer different lengths of service – from temporary home care, such as when carers go on holiday, to intermittent care or long-term. Whatever your need, we would be happy to discuss the many different options available to you.”
