Happy Birthday Judith!

Sunday 15th August 2021. One of our lovely carers, Stella, made a cheesecake from scratch and bought a meaningful gift to celebrate our customer Judith's 83rd birthday yesterday.

Many of our customers have lost their loved ones, so for them the connection they share with those providing them with care is all the more important. Our carers often share with us that being able to be a part of special days see them on their birthdays, holidays and sentimentally significant days. 

Judith shared with Stella that growing up, she never got to play with toys or dolls.To make her day all the more special, Stella bought Judith her first ever doll. It was a moving moment for them both. Stella has known Judith for almost 5 years, and has supported her by providing companionship and assistance with domestic tasks.

Thank you Stella for doing all of this for Judith, it was such a thoughtful thing to do.

Companionship Care 

As we get older, life starts to slow down. At Bluebird Care, we understand that sometimes it can be difficult to plan social activities around your busy schedule. If it’s for yourself or perhaps you have ageing family members nearby, or across the country, it can help just knowing that there is a friendly, caring companion who visits regularly.

Companion care is one of our most requested services. When one of our Bluebird Care care assistants provides companionship care, they become a trusted companion who can keep you or your loved one socially engaged in their own home, and also accompany you or them on visits with friends, family, and to other social events.

At Bluebird Care, our companionship services may cover a wide range of activities where we are able to provide support, for example:

• General companionship and conversation
• Cooking and sharing meals
• Help with your weekly shopping
• Joining in with your  favourite hobbies
• Help with general domestic tasks (cleaning, laundry etc.)
• Help with travel arrangements
• Driving you where you would like to go
• Arranging and accompanying you to and from appointments
• Planning outings and visits

The aim of our companionship services is to ensure that you or your loved ones can lead happy, healthy and stimulating lives in the comfort of their own home or residence.
