Here's a recent Google review from a member of staff “I've worked for a few care companies over the years and I can honestly say this is the only company which cares for the customers and staff welfare above anything, and it makes me really proud to be part of this team. The training is fantastic and the management team work really hard to look after us all. Can't recommend a job with Bluebird Care Lancaster enough"
