I've been working for Blue River Home Care for the last 4 years and can confidently say that this is The Best care company you can work for. They treat staff and customers with dignity and respect and are always trying to do everything possible to help any time whenever you need. They always answer the phone and it is so easy to talk to. My managers would go out of their way to make sure that staff is well, safe and happy and this motivates us to provide excellent service and make a difference. I cannot recommend them any higher to everyone looking for social care work or support at home.

I was employed by Blue River as a live-in carer for over a year. Very good working conditions and real attention to your needs wherever you are deployed as a carer. I had a great autonomy in the workplace and freedom of choice. The payment was fair and regular. Also, during my work with them they provided me with lots of additional courses in nursing and care. So, you will get a real chance to upgrade your proficiency and qualifications if you are ambitious. They are real professionals and I am thankful for providing me with that great experience and their friendly approach.

Working with Blue River home care is an exciting experience i won't take for granted. My Manager is the best i have ever had in a long time. She's caring, thoughtful and friendly. She respects her carers and treats them as part of her own family. Thank you Blue River home care for being there for your staff.

Invaluable service! Blue River has made a huge difference to my Mum & Dad’s life and to the whole family also. It’s been such a relief for us to know that our parents are so well looked after and Covid safe 24/7 with 2 Live in carers at all times. Mum has Alzheimer’s and Dad had a Stroke. They are not the easiest of people, being extremely particular about everything and the carers and managers have gone out of their way to understand my parents’ individual needs and wishes. All Live in carers are competent, respectful, compassionate, trustworthy and the admin staff is fabulous too. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Even in lockdown Blue River ensured our parents have exciting, fulfilling and quality life. The company ensured my Mum & Dad are safe but happy too and we are so very grateful. Outstanding care.

I am the Lasting Power of Attorney for an elderly relative who has both physical and mental health disabilities. For the past year I have used the services of Blue River Home Care and found them to be excellent. The manager and her team are highly professional in that they are punctual and always complete all tasks. Importantly, they are also kind, patient and generous. On more than one occasion they have gone more than the extra mile for me. I am delighted to recommend them.
