The height of personalised at home support

What is Blended Care?

Our Live-in Blended Care allows you to blend your current HSE provided support hours with private hours from your local Bluebird Care office. 

The primary Healthcare Assistant resides in the client’s home and is on active duty for up to seven hours, six days each week. Our team of local Healthcare Assistants provide a seamless transition on the seventh day, allowing your Live-in Care Assistant to enjoy a day off.

This model is more affordable for families, as it utilises HSE funding for the client’s agreed package hours, with the family supplementing the HSE package by purchasing additional hours.

For instance, families may add our Blended 23 to supplement a 7-hour HSE package, Blended 16 to supplement a 14-hour HSE package, or Blended 9 to supplement a 21-hour HSE package.

How this works

• A Bluebird Care Care Assistant moves in with client for a minimum term of 12 weeks
• The Care Assistant provides hours of care as chosen by the client.
• This would be a blend of HSE hours and Bluebird Care hours based on supplementary hours chosen.
• The Healthcare Assistant is guaranteed a minimum of 30 hours per week
• The Healthcare Assistant works 6 days a week, with your local Bluebird Care office providing a seamless transition with a Care Assistant providing care for your loved one on the seventh day.
• The Healthcare Assistant works a minimum rotation of 12 weeks with our co-ordination team managing rotation with client & family to ensure seamless transition and continuity of care.
