We have had a very positive experience using Caremark for the provision of some PA hours weekly for my son who has autism and associated learning difficulties. He enjoys the company of his helper and we (his parents) gain some much appreciated free time.

All the carers from Caremark treat my mother with utmost respect and dignity. They are kind and respect Mum's wishes. They have encouraged Mum to have showers and always ensure she has everything she needs before they leave. My mother loves them all and says they are like a second family to her. If
there are ever any queries or needs they always contact me immediately. It is such a relief to have people who care looking after her as we live several hours' drive away. The owners are so approachable and empathetic. Would highly recommend.

Caremark has been looking after my mum for the last few months now. I must say that team has taken away pressure from my shoulder. It's the first time in the last two years that I went away for a few days knowing my mum is in good hands. Thanks to the supervisor and management team for taking care of
my mum so well.

Very pleasant and helpful from point of contact. The initial visit to Mum's home was extremely helpful in reassuring Mum. The care team are all amazing in caring for my mum's daily needs and also provides Mum with friendship and understanding of her disabilities and daily needs allowing her to remain
comfortable and in her own home.

Caremark started looking after my granddad just before Xmas. Initially, we received care through the local council as he came out of the hospital. Since finishing that free care, we opted for the same care through the Caremark team. I must say that carers are kind and caring. Sometimes time keeping
is an issue, but we do understand. Overall, we are quite pleased with the standard of service and regular visits from their supervisor to make sure all is well.

Carers treated our aunt with dignity and respect and allowed us to keep our promise to keep her in her home. The staff were loving, caring, kind and compassionate the whole time. My aunt got on incredibly well with everyone who was sent to her and the staff felt like family, especially in the last few
weeks. We would recommend their service to everyone. Communication was paramount between us and we will be ever grateful for their love and support to us all. Thank you to all.

My mother has home carers from Caremark (Richmond & Twickenham) for the last seven weeks and they have been wonderful. My mother who has been totally resistant to any form of care and still is cannot speak higher of them and the office staff are extremely approachable, reassuring and friendly. They
have been a lifeline for my peace of mind, knowing my mother has regular daily contact whilst I am working and Mum has been noticeably so much more motivated in herself, with a purpose and routine in place. They are also extremely adaptable to Mum's changing needs and totally flexible on the times they can offer, dependent on when family are visiting Mum and care is not required. They are also fair and competitively priced and do not charge a retainer fee if Mum needs a vacation or a stay in hospital, unlike other home care providers. I would have no hesitancy in recommending this God given home care service and will continue to use them as Mum's needs change.

My uncle gets three visits daily from Caremark (Richmond & Twickenham) since the start of the pandemic. During the whole of last year all the carers who visited him went beyond their regular duties. Whether its booking a GP appointment, getting medication from the pharmacy or arranging shopping, they
have done it all with utmost care and responsibility. As I live away from him, I can't be always there for him.

I am the carer for my husband who has dementia. I had almost reached breaking point when I contacted Caremark. I had also contacted another agency.
I was looking to hire help for me as my husband could not accept he needed help.
I went to the offices rather than rely on making enquiries on the telephone
and was able to meet the managing director and another director, in addition to the main contact for seeking help. All three impressed me by their clear commitment to providing me with assistance and solving my problem.
From the first, I was reassured by their thoroughness. The clear aim was to provide support.
My family had been concerned what might happen if I were to fall sick or have an accident. I decided I had to find a care agency that would be able to look after both my husband and myself in an emergency. In a sense, it is a form of insurance for us both. I have been really relieved by what I have been able to put in place.

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

    The Average Rating of 4.935 for Caremark Richmond & Twickenham is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.935

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Caremark Richmond & Twickenham is based on 45 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.

Job Title: Managing Director

Joined: 2017

I have a degree in clinical engineering and have been working as an underwriter for medical insurance. I have had a first-hand experience caring for my ageing father. His constant struggle to remember things and communicating with people has been a worry to both me and my family. Hence I and my long-term friend Ms Shipra Mehta decided to do something for others suffering from a similar condition. We have taken franchise of a very reputable company like Caremark to deliver a professional, friendly and caring service to suit everyone’s needs. Since our shared visions and goals are the same we put in our honest efforts in bringing about a change in people’s lives. We look forward to being at your service whenever you need us.

We are committed to supporting Clients to continue to live fulfilled lives with dignity and independence and to be participating members of their own communities.

Shipra Mehta

Job Title: Registered Care Manager & Managing Director

Joined: 2016

Shipra's experience ranges from teaching, insurance and has recently been working for NHS 111 emergency and urgent care services.


The lack of professional healthcare has become a growing concern in the U.K and has put our elderly adults at risk. Having ageing parents with growing need for care, has inspired and motivated her to do her bit for the society we live in.


Hence, Shipra and her closest friend Swati Bagwe decided to set aside their jobs and tie up with a very reliable and professional Caremark franchise. Through their professional and personal experience of the care system, they believe that the quality offered by Caremark Hounslow and Chiswick would set them apart from all other providers. They want to give those people the opportunity to spend time as a family member and not just as a carer.


"By looking after our customers like members of our own family, we allow their family members to enjoy time with their loved one whilst we take the pressure and demands of caring away from them if they so choose. By placing their trust in us, customers and their loved ones can have the confidence to enjoy a more independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home."


Shipra is passionate about quality and ensuring that the individuals that she supports receive the best possible service. She believes that we have a long-term commitment to providing personalised support which is meaningful to individuals, enabling them the opportunities to achieve the quality of life that they deserve”.

I am a seasoned health and social care practitioner and a critical customer service promoter with over 15 years in education management and 5 years in social health care. My background is in education management. I was fortunate to teach in some of the most amazing schools in East Africa, North Africa and the Middle East. I have had a short stint teaching in the UK both at primary level and most recently lecturing at the university. I joined social health care by chance when my friend Mr Norden persuaded me to try it just for the sake of it. I did and I got hooked. I have never looked back. It has been one of the most fulfilling decisions I ever made.
With a Level 5 in Adult Social Healthcare Management, a MSc in Psychology and an ongoing PhD in the same, I have increasingly found myself wanting to really make a difference in the lives of the people I interact with; be it our Service Users or colleagues at Caremark whom I work with closely. I have found out that paying close attention to the very obvious and the little things in social care is what distinguishes a good Care Manager from the others. Fashioning care tasks/activities to truly meet individual’s personal needs has become an important influence on how I make decisions as a Manager; the very practical approach.
With an attitude to empower and inspire, the journey has been thrilling despite the occasional challenges that come with my role.
Joining a brand like Caremark was definitely the right move.
We are determined to offer exceptional services to our clients.
