Care Assist - Supporting your health & wellbeing

At Bluebird Calderdale, all our clients are able to benefit from a health check called "Bluebird Care Assist". 

Bluebird Care Assist is based on a universally recognised system, used across the NHS, to provide a standardised approach to monitoring vital signs, improving patient safety, and supporting clinical decision-making. It also ensures consistency in care, helping healthcare professionals respond swiftly to changes in a patient’s condition.

The Bluebird Care Assist health and wellbeing check are carried out at regular Assessment and Care Reviews, which usually take place with clients every 6 months.

During the checks that make up Bluebird Care Assist, a number of vital sign readings will taken along alongside a general well-being questionnaire.

The vital signs that are to be recorded during the checks are: 

• Blood pressure and pulse 
• Temperature 
• Breathing and oxygen saturation 
• Alertness 
• General wellbeing status assessed via the questionnaire 

These checks offer the potential to identify a decline in a customer’s physical and/or mental/emotional wellbeing.  A report is generated after every Bluebird Care Assist visit to a client, enabling prompt action to be taken if necessary.
