Top 10 Reasons

Our clients and their loved ones choose our services because they appreciate the level of care we provide, incorporating:

1. Compassion

Blue Care was built on compassion and care for the community. We understand that when you or a loved one needs care, there are emotional, physical and financial stresses involved. Our professional staff love what they do and deal with each client with empathy and understanding. They are happy to answer questions in a patient and respectful manner, working towards a better quality of life for you or your loved one.

2. Reliability

We have served the community for over 55 years and are regarded as an industry leader in the field of residential and community care. Our staff are trustworthy and understand punctuality is important to you or your loved one. They also appreciate urgency and will try to help as quickly as possible.

3. Respect

Our staff offer the same respect and compassion regardless of clients’ requirements or social background. We embrace diversity and are committed to bringing quality care to all clients, dealing respectfully with different cultures. We also understand the importance of sensitivity, friendship and forging trustworthy relationships.

4. Service

Blue Care is not just about aged care. We offer a broad range of services – from helping with self management of chronic disease to domestic assistance. We also offer services such as nursing, palliative care, continence advice, retirement living and disability services. With 2,200 volunteers and over 8,000 staff employed, we go out of our way to make life more comfortable no matter what your circumstance.

5. Medical expertise

We pride ourselves on having highly qualified staff trained to deal with varied medical conditions. Our culture encourages innovation and supports learning so staff always have the opportunity to upgrade their skills. We also value and appreciate the richness of individual contributions, partnerships and teamwork.

6. Client satisfaction

We strive to provide professional and caring services to the community, and personal stories from our clients and their loved ones speak for themselves. We are often complimented for the compassionate and professional way we deal with clients. Feedback is important to us and we are always open to discussing how we can improve the way we operate.

7. Convenience

Our services operate within 80 communities throughout Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Even remote farming communities benefit from our services, as many of our staff live and work in these areas. We have 1,400 cars on the road delivering services not only to clients in cities and suburbs, but also in regional and remote locations.

8. Doctor and hospital reputation

Doctors and hospitals know the level of care we provide, which is why so many of our referrals come from professional service providers. While many family members contact us on behalf of their loved ones, doctors often refer patients needing ongoing care. We have built up a strong reputation with medical practitioners, and we value the trust they place in us.

9. Public recognition

In 2009, the public voted Blue Care a Q150 Icon, recognising the valuable contribution our organisation has made to Queensland’s development. We are also only the fourth organisation to be named a 'Queensland Great'. These significant achievements recognise the importance of our work and the extraordinary support our staff provide to thousands of people who are frail, vulnerable or in need of support.

10. Flexibility

We understand every client is different and each case individual, which is why we have different packages and options to suit every situation. We know that sometimes clients would prefer to live in their own home and receive help there. We understand that others may want to take their favourite chair with them when moving into one of our residential facilities. We do our best to accommodate everyone’s needs and help promote a sense of wellbeing, no matter what the circumstance.
