Life at Bluebird Care Dublin South
February Update
Hello to our incredible team!
Finally, we can feel the spring is around the corner! Days are getting longer, there were 4 or even 5 sunny days last month!! March is a beautiful month to look forward to We have Easter, Mother’s Day and International Women's Day And also our favorite - St Patrick’s Day!! And if you follow us on Instagram, there will be a few more fun days to celebrate I heard there’s World Sleep Day on March 15th, we must celebrate that!!
Looks like we will be waking up from our hibernation (aka winter sleep) and have a month full of events If you need some ideas I have put together a guide of events in Dublin at the end of the newsletter
As always, let’s spotlight some important messages, celebrate the achievements and prepare for the month ahead
Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude!

Client’s BIO & Messages on One Touch
Client’s BIO has the most important information about the client. It changes every time we receive updates from the client or the family Please make sure you read the BIO before each visit We do our best to inform you if there are any changes but it is your responsibility to read the BIO before your call. Changes happen often so protect yourselves,
Also, please check your messages on One Touch as this is the main communication between you Dave and Roxana If you have any issues with One Touch, please let us know so we can help you.
Let all put the effort in making the communication as good as possible and avoid any mistakes. Nobody is perfect and we all do mistakes and learn from them, but we can try to do our best.
