Supporting a Family With Care at Home: Stefan's Story
When someone you love needs increasing support at home, having compassionate and reliable care in place can make a difference to the whole family. Stefan shares his family's experience of receiving day and overnight care from Bluebird Care Dover & Folkestone during a particularly difficult time.
“Bluebird Care Dover team have gone above and beyond in looking after my Mum in her time of need for day care and overnight care at home.
Nothing was too much trouble, and they worked tirelessly with such compassion, sensitivity and dedication, committed to giving the very best. They really made all the difference to our family at the end of Mum's life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
— Stephen Cork (Google Review)
Supporting Mum at home when she needed it most
When Stefan's mum needed additional support at home, the Bluebird Care Dover & Folkestone team provided both day care and overnight care, helping her continue to receive support in the familiar surroundings of her own home.
For Stefan and his family, the compassion and sensitivity shown by the Care Experts were particularly important during what was an incredibly difficult time.
Day and overnight support at home
As Stefan's mum's circumstances required more support, the team provided care during the day as well as overnight.
Stefan described the team as going “above and beyond”, with nothing being too much trouble.
Having care available at different times meant his mum could continue to be supported at home, while giving the family reassurance that Care Experts were there when needed.
Compassion when it mattered most
For Stefan, it wasn't only the practical care his mum received that made an impression. It was the way that care was provided.
He highlighted the team's:
“Compassion, sensitivity and dedication.”
Those qualities became particularly important towards the end of his mum's life, when compassionate and respectful support mattered to the whole family.
Stefan said the team remained committed to giving his mum the very best care and that their support “really made all the difference to our family”.
Supporting the whole family
When someone you love needs increasing care, the impact is often felt by everyone around them.
For Stefan's family, having trusted Care Experts supporting his mum provided more than practical assistance. It meant having people around who approached a difficult period with care, understanding and dedication.
His words of thanks reflect just how much those relationships meant:
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
