About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 22 February 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Bluebird Care (Derbyshire Dales & Amber Valley) is a service providing care and support to people in their own homes. At the time of the inspection the service was providing support to 45 people, but only 21 of those were receiving support with personal care. As the Care Quality Commission (CQC) does not regulate domestic support, this inspection relates only to people receiving the regulated activity of personal care.

People told us they enjoyed their independence whilst also getting the support they needed to live independently and be part of their local community.
