A HOMECARE provider in Hook earned an additional seal of approval from Hampshire County Council after it team up with a new initiative.

Bluebird Care Hook, which helps and cares for people living in their own home in Basingstoke, Deane and Hart, has received the green light to join ‘Buy with Confidence + Care’ – the Trading Standards approved register.

All the businesses on the scheme have been stringently vetted and approved by Trading Standards Officers to ensure that they operate in a legal, honest and fair way.

Phil Miles, Director of Bluebird Care Hook, said: “When we heard that Trading Standards were partnering with Adult Social Services to launch the Buy with Confidence + Care scheme in Hampshire we were very keen to be involved from the outset.

“Although Bluebird Care is already heavily regulated by the Care Quality Commission, the CQC’s priority is on the quality of care we provide; specifically is our service Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-Led.

“Until now there has been no way to reassure our current and future customers that Bluebird Care’s commercial terms abide by the spirit and letter of the law and that we trade fairly with our customers.”

Based in Hook, the organisation provides care in Odiham, Warnborough, Crondall, Hartley Wintney, Hook and across the borough.

Bluebird Care is a national provider of care in the home, specialising in working with customers who live with dementia, physical disabilities and many other acute and chronic conditions.

Bluebird Care work alongside their customers’ families, social services and the NHS to ensure each person receives the care they need.

Phil added: “We see our membership as further differentiating the high quality service that Bluebird Care provides from our competitors. Bluebird Care is focussed on the self-funding market and so it is vital that anyone looking to trust us to provide a service for themselves or for a loved one has the confidence that all our dealings with them are carried out to the same high standards.

“A third party endorsement by such a respected name as Trading Standards reassures people that they will not have to worry about the fairness and legality of our contractual terms and we can work together to provide the very best quality of care at home.”
