Bluebird Care Rochdale

17/12/2025

Cold, dark evenings can make a home feel smaller and everyday tasks a little trickier—especially when someone lives with a long-term condition or needs hands-on support. The good news: a few practical tweaks can make winter safer, calmer and more predictable.

In this week's article, we cover some of these simple steps to keep your loved ones safe and happy in their own home. Visit our website and check it out for yourself: https://www.bluebirdcare.co.uk/news

So.... we had a 'office team meeting' which just so happened to be in an establishment that served drinks, so we figured it might as well become an unofficial precursor to this week's staff Xmas party.

John filmed the team opening their presents to (a) record their joy or (b) test their acting skills in case they had to fake said joy 😂

Fortunately, it all went well, which is a shame, because it would have been great to uncover the next big Hollywood superstar and expand the business in 2026 to include the Bluebird Rochdale Talent Agency. Alas, I guess we will just have to stick to being amazing at providing care! 😉

Did you know we use kits that run through the essentials — blood pressure, pulse, temperature and oxygen levels, plus a general well-being once-over. Results are logged digitally so we can spot early changes and loop in family or clinicians if needed. Think peace of mind, without leaving the sofa.

Curious how it helps? We use NHS-recognised tools to track trends over time — it’s all about catching little changes before they become big worries.

We wouldn't recommend getting someone a test for Xmas, because it would probably rank lower than socks on the excitement scale, but maybe organising one for the new year so they can start 2026 off on the right foot.

We’re genuinely moved by messages like this. They remind us that behind every rota and care plan are real families doing their best for each other.

Thank you for trusting us to be part of such a personal chapter and for the kindness shown to our Care Professionals along the way.

...is a great company to work for.

Love that, but we have amazing staff too

Think feet-up, blanket on, favourite programme queued… plus a quick check for the sensible bits: is it the right heat setting, no cables/controls trapped, and everything switched off when we’re done?

We’ll help layer up, tuck in, and keep the warmth where it belongs — snug, safe and perfectly toasty.

Big question....What are we putting on the telly?

From a quick natter to a proper catch-up with cards, crosswords or a gentle stroll, it’s time well spent: a familiar face, a laugh, and someone to say “tell me everything.”

Side effects may include louder giggles and mysteriously shrinking biscuit tins.

Your ideal cuppa-and-chat combo + Christmas sing-along tune?

A wander to a favourite local, a comfy seat by the window, time to choose the main event and debate “chips or mash?”—that’s a good day right there.

We love these slow, happy outings: the walk, the chat, the familiar faces, and the all-important pudding decision. Here’s to warm plates, easy laughter and heading home with rosy cheeks and a story to tell.

If you’ve got a go-to pub classic, tell us below—are you team pie, roast, or fish & chips?

We handle the faff—tickets, best seats, getting comfy - while you handle the big debate: sweet or salted popcorn.

(Official Bluebird Rochdale stance: we say “mix”… then ask if there’s room for chocolate. Answer: always. 😇)

Lights down, snacks open, and home after for the post-credits for a cuppa and thorough review about the film.

Popcorn poll: sweet, salted, mix… and which chocolate sneaks into the bag?

Sat-nav says “recalculating”; we say “challenge accepted”!

From GP check-ins to hospital appointments, we plan the route, set off early, park close, wait with you, and get you home for that victory cuppa. Festive soundtrack optional; questionable car karaoke… inevitable.

What’s your best traffic-beating tip — side streets, early start, or zen patience?

Simple habits help:

1) Eat plenty of fruit and veg (vitamin-rich soups and easy snacks)
2) Prioritise good sleep (regular bedtime and warm layers)
3) Stay active (short, safe movement indoors)
4) Drink water (little and often)
5) Ask about flu and COVID boosters.

Our team can encourage hydration, prep wholesome meals, and build gentle movement into daily visits.
