Happy Retirement Sylvia & Mark 💙 enjoy your well deserved rest 🩵
& a warm welcome to Julian & Felicity 💙

Today is a day of mixed emotions for us. After 15 years of providing quality care in North Cornwall, we have decided to retire. We can reflect on the business being rated Outstanding by CQC and being given a Gold Compliance Award from Bluebird Care, however, we are very aware that all of our achievements would not have been possible without the wonderful team of care experts who have worked alongside us over the years. We do indeed feel truly blessed and humbled as at all times we have been supported by wonderful Registered Managers, Coordinators, Supervisors and Admin Teams. We wish to thank all of the above, as well as the many customers and families who we have had the privilege of caring for. We also wish to thank all our followers on Facebook. So for us this is it! 🙁🙁 For us, this is the end of a era. However, we are delighted to introduce Julian and Felicity Speers, who take over the mantle from us. They are a lovely couple and we have no doubt that they will continue to provide the same levels of quality care as you would expect from Bluebird Cornwall North. Best wishes to all of you.

Someone asked us recently what makes a great carer… and honestly, it’s not what you might think 💙

It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about the way you show up for someone.

Taking your time. Sitting down for a chat. Remembering the little things that matter to them. Knowing when to talk… and when to just be there quietly.

That’s exactly what you’ll see in Lauren’s video below, the care, the patience, and the genuine connection she builds every day.

Some of the most incredible carers we know didn’t start with experience, they just had the right heart. Everything else, we can teach 🤝

When is the right time to ask for home care? 💙 usually, it is not one big moment, it is the little things that start to feel different.

A missed meal here and there 🍽️ a home that feels a bit less manageable 🏡 aloved one seeming quieter, more tired, or more alone 💭
Everyday routines becoming that little bit harder

And often, it is not just the person you are worried about, it is the family around them too, trying to juggle everything, checking in more often, & wondering what to do next.

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone 🤍

Asking about care does not mean giving up independence. Very often, it is the step that helps someone keep it, with the right support, in the comfort of home. You do not have to wait until things reach crisis point to start the conversation.

We’re here to talk things through whenever you feel ready 💙

A little Easter weekend check-in 💛

Sometimes, it is only when you spend a bit more time together that you notice how someone is really doing.

Over Easter, many families will pop in for a visit, sit down for a cup of tea, and enjoy a little extra time with loved ones. And sometimes, in those ordinary moments, a few quiet worries begin to surface.

Maybe they seem more tired than usual, the fridge is emptier than you expected, it could be that everyday jobs around the house feel a bit harder for them now or maybe you leave thinking they seemed a little more lonely than you realised 💙

These thoughts can feel heavy, especially when you are not sure what to do next.

If this weekend leaves you wondering whether someone you love may need a bit of extra support at home, you are not alone 💙

We’re here to talk things through whenever you feel ready.

Today we are recognising World Autism Awareness Day 🎗️

It is an important opportunity to promote understanding, acceptance and inclusion, and to reflect on how we can create environments where people feel respected, valued and supported.

At Bluebird Care, we understand that every customer is unique. That is why it is so important to take the time to listen, understand individual needs, and provide support in a way that respects each person’s routines, preferences and way of experiencing the world.

By leading with kindness, patience and understanding, we can all help build more inclusive communities 💙

We’ve been speaking to a lot of people recently at careers fairs, and one thing keeps coming up…

People want a job that actually means something 💙

A career where you’re not just clocking in and out, but making a real difference to someone’s day, whether that’s a chat over a cup of tea, helping someone feel safe at home, or just being there when it matters.

For many, care isn’t something they planned… but once they start, they realise just how rewarding it can be.

If you’ve ever thought about working in care, or you’re looking for something more meaningful, we’d love to have a chat 🤝

this is very helpful advice from Alzheimer's Society regarding the clock changes ⏰

Reminder - British Summer Time starts this Sunday⏰

When the clocks go forward it can be confusing for all of us, but it can be especially disorientating for people living with dementia, who might struggle with awareness of time.

As our days get longer and brighter, people living with dementia may find it harder to differentiate between 6am and 6pm. This disrupts their natural circadian rhythm and makes it hard for them, and those who care for them, to ensure they get enough sleep.

Thankfully there are a few easy things we can do to help minimise any disruption.

🌙 Consider having dinner and going to bed an hour earlier on Saturday. This means the person you’re caring for can still get enough sleep and can wake up at their usual time on Sunday, and that their routine will only be different for an evening rather than the whole day.

📆 Keep to a regular routine during the day and at bedtime. This can help to regulate a disrupted body clock. Doing regular activities at the same time each day – for example, going for a walk after breakfast – can help a person with dementia make sense of the time.

🚶‍♀️ Gentle exercise during the day can help the person feel sleepier during the evening, meaning they’ll go to bed at their usual time. If this isn’t an option, keeping them active during the day can have a similar effect. You could also consider using blackout curtains to reduce sunlight in the evenings.

⏰ Invest in an auto-setting clock. Some people with dementia can find it tricky to read a clock face, so often digital clocks are easier. You can also get clocks that show the day of the week and date as well as the time, and for some people a day/night clock can help them distinguish what time of day it is.
