About Bluebird Care

Bluebird Care Ferndown supports people in their own homes in Ferndown and the surrounding part of Dorset. We work with older people and with younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, sensory loss and eating disorders. We assess at home, with whoever the person wants present, and the conversation is as much about what somebody intends to keep doing for themselves as about what they need from us. The plan is agreed rather than issued and it changes when circumstances do. Support may be a single short call each day, visits at several points for personal care, medication, meals and company, or longer stretches for somebody who should not be alone. Across that spread of needs, training is a practical matter. A carer supporting an autistic person, one supporting somebody in the later stages of dementia and one supporting somebody with an eating disorder each need different knowledge, and ours have it before they go out. Where somebody is living with an eating disorder we are patient at mealtimes and record what is actually eaten rather than what was offered. We hold onto continuity as firmly as the rota allows and say in advance when a new carer is coming. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
