I like the response to change. Carers are punctual. Some carers have not yet won my wife over.

Your carers are on the whole good, some need more training on how to talk and treat a patient with dementia. Some personal care i.e teeth and shaving get forgotten. Timings over a week can vary up to 2 and a half hours difference. This makes life at home difficult when medication with food has to be
given. I emailed one staff member in particular back in February 2024 with my concerns. My husband gets very confused when timings are so different from one day to the next. I have had to call the office back on more than one occasion to get an answer to requests.

Reply from Karen Beach, Business Development Manager at Caremark Pulborough

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve the care we provide. We're glad to hear that many of our carers have met your expectations, but we sincerely regret the concerns you've raised regarding dementia care, personal care, and schedule consistency. Ensuring the highest standard of support for your husband is our priority, and we understand how important routine is, especially when it comes to medication and daily care. Please know that we take your concerns seriously and will review our processes to improve consistency and communication. We would love the opportunity to discuss this further and work towards a solution that better supports you and your husband.

Excellent care and service from regular carer. Client likes and welcomes this carer, but is not so happy with occasional carers. Occasional carers do not always understand client's needs or condition, so are put off when client says they are find and don't need anything. Regular carer knows how to get
round this. Communication from office to carers is not always satisfactory e.g informing them there are cameras in the house. Turnover of staff can cause some issues.

Reply from Karen Beach, Business Development Manager at Caremark Pulborough

Thank you for your feedback. We are thrilled to hear the regular carer provides excellent care and has built such a strong rapport with your mum. We appreciate your honesty about occasional carers and communication challenges, and we are working to ensure all team members are fully informed about customer needs and home features like cameras. Your input is invaluable, and we are committed to improving.

We have used Caremark for the past 3 and a half years to care for my husband 4 times per day. In that time I have been pleased with the standard of care given. Our carers know my husband well and are attentive to his complex needs. Recent changes to weekend and bank holiday pricing could become prohibitive
in the future.

Reply from Karen Beach, Business Development Manager at Caremark Pulborough

We are delighted to hear that you have been satisfied with the care provided to your husband over the past three and a half years. Our carers are committed to delivering the highest standard of care and understanding his complex needs. Your positive feedback means a lot to us. Best regards.

On the whole, I am pleased with the care service that I receive. It does occasionally go wrong but that comes with the territory people do go side or have holidays and I accept that as long as I am informed of changes, things happen that are outside of the office's control. So they are not to blame
this is not a criticism of the service you provide.

Reply from Karen Beach, Business Development Manager at Caremark Pulborough

Thank you so much for your understanding and thoughtful feedback. We're glad to hear that overall, you are pleased with the care service you receive. We truly appreciate your patience and acknowledgment that sometimes changes are unavoidable due to circumstances beyond our control. Your recognition of our efforts to keep you informed is greatly valued. We remain committed to providing the best possible care and communication. If there is anything specific we can do to improve your experience further, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you again for your support and understanding.

Caremark has been extremely helpful and supportive and has provided us with some lovely carers. I have been using Caremark for many years for my husband who is disabled. I can always rely on them for help when needed. My husband likes everybody that comes.

Overall, Caremark provides a good service. I do find that there is the occasional chasing and reminding, such as making sure soft drink glasses are washed a bit more regularly. I don’t think they all stay for 1 hour, which I don’t mind if all needs have been met, but very recently Dad has mentioned
1 carer only staying for 20 minutes.

Reply from Karen Beach, Business Development Manager at Caremark Pulborough

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you generally find our service satisfactory. Your insights are invaluable as we continuously strive to enhance the care experience. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by reminders and visit durations. Rest assured, we are addressing these internally to maintain our high standards. Our care coordinator has been in touch to address these matters directly. Regarding visit durations, we are committed to ensuring all needs are met within the allotted time. We take reports seriously and will investigate thoroughly. Your satisfaction and your father's well-being remain our top priorities. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further concerns. Thank you for entrusting us with your father's care. Warm regards.

I had been taking some strong antibiotics with really severe side effects, 5 days in, I couldn't cope anymore, and phoned my care provider to cancel my call that day and the next few days. Whilst on the phone, the lady who answered my call talked to me, asking quite a few questions and then advised
me to talk to my GP or ring 111. I phoned my GP, and he confirmed I was definitely having an allergic reaction and to stop them immediately! This is the difference of quality and standard of care that I have come to expect from this care agency. They know their clients really well, and in spite of the constant business of the company, nothing is too much trouble. Caremark are absolutely first class. I have always been really pleased to be with them, and this is an example to show why they always go above what one would expect.

The carers and service are brilliant, kind, polite, caring, do a great job, the only trouble is the rota that changes too often without notice. A two-week rota with maybe the same staff would be helpful so we know what time to cook etc.

I find the carers from Caremark are as caring as your name suggests. They ask what my needs are and I have always been impressed with their attitude to please me. They also show an interest in how I am feeling.
Whilst I realise that it may be necessary to have a male carer, at times I feel more at
ease with a female.

The carers provide an excellent service and are always very friendly and welcoming and could not fault them. They work however with difficulties when it comes to travelling time. They finish one job and then have zero travelling time to get to the next even in some cases this is 6 miles away. Management
would be advised to take a day out with carers to see the problems they face.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.392)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.392) out of 10 for Caremark Pulborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.392 for Caremark Pulborough is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 102 Ratings = 4.392

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Caremark Pulborough is based on 16 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
