Hi, my name is Gordon, and if you join Bluebird Care you might have the pleasure in meeting and supporting me in my own home.

For me to continue staying in my own home, you would support me in the morning with general personal care, helping me to get ready for the day which will consist of helping me to have a wash, ensuring you help me remain independent, by giving me choice and providing me with dignity and respect, this is very important to me. I will then need some assistance getting dressed and preparing my breakfast and a nice cup of tea. My current Bluebird carers always make me smile and feel special and nothing it too much for them, they are kind and caring and always show me compassion.
