Why choose live-in care

It is quite natural to resist moving away from familiar surroundings and carry on living to our final day in comfortable surroundings. More than bricks and mortar, our homes are where memories are made. The threshold our husband carried us across, the dining table where we spoon-fed our toddlers, the garden where we planted our favourite roses, celebrating our ruby wedding anniversary by dancing barefoot on the living room carpet. 

Many people believe that as they grow older, or as their family member's needs increase, there is no realistic alternative to residential care. A move to a care home seems a foregone conclusion - it's life's last stop. 

With our live-in care service, this simply isn't the case. You can coose to remain safe and happy at home for as long as you so desire. In fact, Bluebird Care's live-in service is the pinnacle of support.

If the idea of sharing your home with a Bluebird sounds daunting, fear not. Speak to Sylwia or Jacqui about setting up a live-in care trial. We're convinced you'll have a ilfe-changing experience.
