A fresh face at Bluebird Care
Thursday 22nd January, 2026
The mid- and west Cornwall franchise of Bluebird Care has been based at Morlaix House on Newham Road for 13 years, offering a range of services from companionship and practical help to children's services and medical expertise, as well as complex and live-in care.
The home care provider starts 2026 with a new addition who brings valuable skills to the team. Registered nurse Hannah Smith is CQC certified in the Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury (TDDI). Her arrival will enable Bluebird Care to take on customers with more complex needs, and to bring in-house training that is currently dependent on external availability.
Hannah explains: “Having a TDDI nurse on staff means we can manage all kinds of things, like tracheostomies, brain and spinal injuries, epilepsy, stoma and catheter care, and challenging behaviours. I can also provide training, for example in PEG feeding, which was previously delivered by district nurses.”
Recruitment manager Sarah Spreadbury adds: “This is an exciting time for us. At a time when people are being held in hospital beds because of a lack of care in the community, our staff have the skills to help.
“Our motto is, ‘your care, your choice’. Our customers can choose when they have their care, and at the minimum of one hour, it isn’t rushed. It’s also carried out in a place where you want to be, and where you have memories.”
