At Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham dignity is at the heart of everything we do.

As we celebrate Dignity Action Day, treating our customers with the utmost respect, ensuring they feel valued, heard and supported in all aspects of their care, remains our top priority.

Dignity Action Day is a nationwide initiative led by the Dignity in Care Campaign.

The day aims to promote the importance of dignity in care services, encouraging health and social care providers to uphold the principles of dignity in everyday interactions.

It is an opportunity to raise awareness, celebrate best practices and encourage individuals and organisations to take action in improving the care experience for all.

We believe dignity should be embedded in every aspect of care and take great pride in ensuring that:

• Person-centred care is at the forefront of our services, tailoring support to customer needs and preferences.
• Independence is promoted, empowering our customers to make their own choices and maintain control over their lives.
• Privacy and respect are upheld, ensuring customers feel safe and comfortable in their own homes.
• Compassionate communication is practiced, with our care assistants taking the time to listen, understand and engage meaningfully with those they support
• Dignity Action Day is not just for care professionals, it's a call to action for everyone

Here are some ways you can participate:

• Raise awareness by sharing information about dignity in care with family, friends, and your community.
• Show appreciation for care workers who go above and beyond to uphold dignity in their roles.
• Encourage conversations with loved ones about their needs, preferences, and experiences in receiving care.
• Make a pledge to support dignity in your everyday interactions, whether at home, work, or in the wider community

As we mark Dignity Action Day, Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham invites everyone, customers, families, care assistants and the wider community to join us in promoting a culture of dignity and respect.

Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those receiving care.
