How to arrange Live-in Care

The first step is to contact our office on 01206 827605 to arrange an initial Care Assessment.

An Initial Care Assessment gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you have face-to-face, giving you a greater understanding of how we can best support you. This can be arranged by calling 01206 827605 Our Live-in Care team will then put together a bespoke care plan and will discuss the Live-in Care Assistants that we feel are best suited to you and your needs.

On the first day that your care commences, our Live-in Care team will be there to introduce your Live-in Care Assistant and run through everything to ensure you are happy. We will then keep in close contact with you on a regular basis to manage all your care needs and ensure everything runs smoothly.

You will have a central, named point of contact to talk to at any time. We have an on-call service that is manned 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, so there is always support when required.

1. CQC rating & report

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. They monitor, inspect and regulate all care services to make sure they meet fundamental standards of quality and safety. 

Don’t just look at the CQC rating but also read the report.

Our Colchester & Tendring branch scored overall "Good" with "Outstanding" for Well-Led

2. Consistency and continuity 

Continuity is so important.  Customers need to see the same friendly faces day in, day out. 
At Bluebird Care, we keep our Customers comfortable and relaxed in their own surroundings with Care Assistants they know and trust. 

3. We are a local family company

Unlike many care providers who are large national companies operating out of far-away head offices, we are local to you.  Being close by means it’s easy to keep in regular face to face contact with you and our Live-in Carers - we are never far away if extra support is needed.   

Local people, delivering care and support in the area they live in.

4. Highly trained Live-in Carers

Only the best Care Assistants pass our selection process and unlike many agencies, we employ all our own staff and train them to standards exceeding other care companies in the area.  We recognise, reward and look after our team properly. 

We have specialised in house training sessions which run weekly to ensure all of our staff are up to the standards we expect.
