Many thanks to the Caremark team for all the help and care provided to Mum for the past two years. I very much appreciate Mum being treated with understanding, patience and dignity at all times and she certainly regarded the carers who visited regularly as friends. Not living locally, it was reassuring
to know that the Caremark team were there to ensure Mum's care and wellbeing. I'm also very grateful for Caremark's help in chaperoning Mum to GP and hospital appointments and the team have always been very responsive and helpful whenever additional help and support has been requested. I would have no hesitation in recommending Caremark.

Caremark have been caring for my mum, for a few months now and I couldn't be more happy with the care she is receiving. They always make sure she is clean, clothed, fed and in a safe and clean environment. The whole team are so helpful and will always get in contact with me if any issues arise. The
peace of mind that I have knowing she is in safe hands, is paramount to my own mental wellbeing.

The carers that come to look after my mother are really polite and understanding of the needs need to be met, they are a godsend to make the day a little brighter when days seem to be at their darkest, and for that they all deserve praise and acknowledgement. I'd hope they read this and understand that
you are all amazing in my and my family's eyes thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done and continue to do.

I'd like to thank the wonderful staff at Caremark for looking after my Dad before his recent passing. You treated my Dad with dignity and compassion and I will be forever grateful to you all.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants the best care for their relative.

Mum has a carer that has so much patience, time and compassion for mum. She goes above and beyond for her, nothing is too much for her even when mum is going through a difficult time. Her devotion and and thoughtfulness is amazing. Don't know where we would be without her. So I'd like special mention
for her.

Staff consistently well mannered and courteous. We prefer the same carers then we don't have too many strangers coming in. Also, they get to know the patient and are soon aware of changes in condition. Try to keep accurate time, this is important regarding medication/food regime.

My regular carers are really good and always leave me feeling better than when they came. The only complaint I have is if you ring the office, messages don't seem to get passed along.

The carers I have had have been very good and attentive and are let down by erratic scheduling and time allowed between visits to clients.

Overall care is adequate - some carers are better than others.
Caremark's internal and external communication is poor, emails never replied to and clients not contacted when last minute carers are changed.
Not great for service users with learning difficulties, to come to terms with changes and
when someone new turns up.

We have been very satisfied with the help we receive from the carers, though they get 'messed' around by the management.
The services provided are really very good.

My husband was sadly diagnosed with cancer in November 2016, after surgery he came home and had wonderful support from Caremark.
As his condition deteriorated further and he came towards the last stages of life, Caremark's staff became even more necessary.
The care my husband and I received from Caremark
was truly outstanding.
The carers were outstanding - they were exemplary in every way.
They were kind, caring, well-trained and very, very decent people.
They would talk to my husband (who was in a very deep sleep) and tell him gently what they were doing. I thought that was very important - they treated him with dignity and compassion.
They also made time for me, they spoke to me and reassured me. Nothing was too much trouble.
Caremark are wonderful.

Caremark have been attending to my needs since November 2014 - they are truly dedicated hard working group of people who endeavour to give the best care possible. Having been a carer for 8 years in a nursing home myself I know how important it is to be treat with dignity and respect. Changing personal
care assistants - sometimes having 4 different carers in one day not always turning up at the correct time as stated on the rota - I have to repeat myself over and over again concerning things to deal with finance and my individual careplan - I am self funding - I still do not understand how anyone from government down can justify the ever increasing prices carehomes and companies private or otherwise charge - but hey lets not get political - overall the carers I have are excellent at their job, well done and long may it continue - so from me to the carers management and staff - thank you for everything you do - I really do appreciate it.

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.
