Residents can now have 24-hour care at home, after a provider extended its service.

Bluebird Care in Thurrock and Castle Point is expanding its live-in care service, where staff live with customers in their own homes, for anything from two weeks to ongoing long-term care and support.

Alvin Osei-Tutu, Managing Director of Bluebird Care Thurrock and Castle Point, has many years’ experience of managing high quality home care. He said:

“Leaving the home you love, where you may have lived for many years, can be an upsetting and daunting experience. New routines, different environments and unfamiliar faces can all add stress at a time when all you want is comfort and reassurance.

"We recognise the everyday pressures families face as they come to terms with the care needs of a loved one, which is why we’re expanding this attractive solution, where people have the option of remaining in their own home with the support of a live-in care worker.”

With the office based in Benfleet, Bluebird Care already employ staff who provide care and support to the elderly, people with physical disabilities and adults with learning difficulties across the whole of Thurrock and Castle Point.
