About

Bluebell Homecare is a home care agency based in Chelmsford, Essex, providing care and support in people's own homes, with a particular focus on dementia. It supports older people, younger adults, people with physical disabilities and people with sensory impairment.

Support includes help with washing, showering, dressing and meal preparation, shopping, and sitting services that allow a person to be looked after at home. The agency also offers complex packages, double-handed dementia care and palliative care. Overnight cover is either an awake night, with a carer on call and alert throughout, or a sleep night, when the carer can be woken if needed. The Care Quality Commission rates the agency Good overall, and Good across all five key questions (report published 2019).
