We have only needed this service recently, but grateful that it is available. One or two teething problems, but the response to any requests has been positive. Personal care is excellent. Time keeping has been difficult due to bad weather and road problems, snow, ice, traffic, trust it will be better
when spring arrives. So good to know that my husband is being well looked after if I need to be out. Carers are friendly and respond well to us both.

My mum required an initial small level of care as she was struggling with some of the day-to-day things she used to be able to do for herself. Caremark stepped in and provided twice daily visits to provide that care. As time passed Mum became more in need of help and Caremark immediately increased the
care level without any issues. The senior care manager visited Mum on a number of occasions to check in and ensure the care package being delivered was appropriate.
The actual care provided by the carers was superb, not only did they perform their tasks well based on a detailed care plan, but they also showed empathy and kindness to my mum. It was more than just the job.
Unfortunately Mum became ill and recently passed away. Throughout this time Caremark took time to send their best wishes to my mum which I know brought happiness that she was not forgotten.

Thank you once again for your trust and support. If there's anything more we can do for you or your family, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I write this review with the utmost honesty and sincerity and strongly advise you do not employ this care provider. Our experience with this company proved the management is false, unprofessional and really does not care. They may fool you while attaining your custom but in time their true colours will
show. They caused my elderly parents extreme stress which impacted their mental health with their lies and lack of professionalism. Sadly the only thing they really care about is money. They are extremely false, you will sense the falseness when you meet them but do not make the mistake of giving them the benefit of the doubt as with time you will question the care of your loved ones. Some but not all of the carers were wonderful but due to the poor management, there is no way I could not write this review to warn others.

Reply from Herkesh Malhi, Owner at Caremark Solihull

We sincerely apologise for the distress your parents experienced, and we appreciate your honest feedback. It deeply concerns us that our services fell short of your expectations, and we take these issues seriously. We understand the gravity of the impact on your parents' mental health and empathise with the stress they endured.
Our commitment to providing compassionate and reliable care remains unwavering, and we're actively implementing measures to enhance our management practices. While we are grateful for your acknowledgement of some dedicated carers, we recognise this does not negate the overall negative experience.
We assure you that your concerns will contribute to our ongoing efforts to improve service quality. Our goal is to learn from this experience, rectify any shortcomings, and ensure a better experience for all our customers. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention; we would welcome the opportunity to address your specific concerns directly.

Caremark has been fantastic. I have been using their service for a year now and they have helped enable me so I can enjoy being at home with my family and build my strength and independence. I had fractures a month before my son was born and was bed-bound in my lounge. The carers have always been extremely
kind and caring and have always put me at ease. Everyone is approachable and supportive. I would definitely recommend their service to others. I love how personal the service is and how I can talk to management easily. Thank you.

We had received extremely poor home care service from another provider. So was apprehensive about starting with a new one. However, we couldn’t have been more wrong. From the director of the company down, there is a clear ethos of care for their clients. We were never let down and are happy to prompt
this wonderful care organisation.

Reply from Herkesh Malhi, Owner at Caremark Solihull

We understand that choosing a care service can be a significant decision and we are honoured that you placed your trust in us. Your review not only encourages our team but also helps potential clients make informed choices based on real experiences. Your words serve as a testament to our dedication and the quality of service we aim to provide. Thank you.

I have been with Caremark for four years, we did go through a not-so-good patch for a while last year due to staff leaving who had been with Caremark for some time but I am pleased to say the last twelve months have been a good improvement and having a member of staff, in particular, in the office doing
the coordinating has made things more consistent again. All the carers are very pleasant and helpful and the times of visits are on time again. Well done everyone and a special thanks to the carers who do my morning calls when the hard work is done.

Reply from Herkesh Malhi, Owner at Caremark Solihull

Thank you for your feedback, I will share this with the team, I'm sure they'll be delighted. The care sector has been going through a very difficult time over the past few years but after weathering the storm, we again have a strong team to support you at home and have a complete professional team in the office. It's really nice to hear your positive feedback, especially about the office team that works to ensure a positive experience for you and carers. It's always a delight to support you and we look forward to many years ahead.

I have been a Caremark client for just over six years. All the carers are very kind and meet my care requirements perfectly. They visit at a time which is appropriate and perform all the tasks in an efficient manner. For example, setting up my tea maker and making me a sandwich for the following day.
I have built up a good rapport with all the Caremark staff and look forward to many more years working with them.

I am so thankful to the staff at Caremark for looking after my mum so well. I have the best carers who pay attention to detail and converse in her home language. Everything is well-maintained and left tidy. My mum is happy with her care and looks forward to seeing her carers. The management team are
brilliant, always willing to help and keep in touch with any updates. A very professional yet personal service.

I have had very good care from this agency and would have them again. I have felt very safe and all the carers are friendly with me, so I have been able to ask questions etc.
I would gladly use the agency again but hope it won't be necessary for a while.

Caremark came highly recommended and they do not disappoint. All of the carers who visit are professional, reliable, efficient and thorough. However, most of all they are friendly and engage with my friend creating a supportive relationship. It's a huge relief to know that Caremark are involved and

From the very beginning Caremark (Solihull) have been an amazing service provider. Initial meeting with one member of staff was thorough, with everything explained and they took their time to listen to the needs of my mother. The carers they provided did a fantastic job with the care and development
of my mother who suffered a severe brain stroke. We requested to have the same carer for my mother and Caremark (Solihull) did everything within their power to meet our request. The carer did an amazing job and really helped my mothers development. The carers did not just come and perform their duties but ensured they provided their care with a smile. I had all the confidence in their care abilities for my mother and I would not look anywhere else in the future and would highly recommend Caremark (Solihull).
