About Bluebird Care

We provide care at home in Torquay and across Torbay. Those we support include older adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, younger adults, and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug use. How somebody is spoken to matters to us as much as what gets done. A carer can complete every task on a plan and still leave a person feeling managed rather than helped, and that difference is not a detail, it is the job. Several of the people we support have had experiences of being judged rather than helped, so we recruit for manner as much as for experience and we supervise in a way that means we would notice if the manner slipped. The practical side has to be right too, and reliability is what most often fails in this sector. We keep rounds realistic, we decline patterns of care we cannot honestly staff, and we give notice when something has to move. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased with it and a little wary of it, because a rating describes a period of time rather than a permanent quality.
