Overall Experience

Caremark provided a vital service that enabled my mother to stay in her own home. They treated her with compassion and respect and were kind, made her feel valued. Without them, we couldn't have coped with her many needs. They were very polite to our family members, and if we needed extra care, we were

helped by the office staff. The night sitter was a big bonus and gave her full attention to my mother's well-being throughout the long night hours two nights a week.

When new staff were assigned, they soon learned the ropes after training and became valued members of the team. We will be forever grateful to them for caring for mum and doing their best to give her the respect and dignity she deserves. Mum was able to live in her own house to the very end, which is what she wanted. We promised her we would never put her in a home.

Thank you to all of you who came into mum's house and cared for her. You made all the difference, we are so very grateful.

I have found Caremark very efficient, understanding and very caring.
Our mum's carers were amazing. We felt very comfortable with Mum being looked after by Caremark. Recommend them to anyone. The time stated is the time they come. Very reassuring.

Overall Experience

This is not just for April but from the moment that we were recommended to the Caremark (Dartford & Gravesham) team. I am a nurse myself and that does not always make it easy to entrust the care of your most precious relative to the care of others. All I can say is that every single carer that we had

been allocated have been caring, kind, honest, safe and genuinely interested in my mum and also my father, who died last year. I really cannot fault them and trust me, I am fussy! The management team are always responsive and up to speed with everything. Financials are always regularly communicated and accurate. Ten out of ten guys.

Overall Experience

As more care was needed, Caremark were able to meet those needs, the staff were always cheerful, kind and caring. The staff at the office were always happy to answer any queries I had and communication between us was good. If at any time the carers were concerned about my friend's health, action was

taken immediately. I would have no hesitation in using this company again.

Overall Experience

The carers from Caremark are excellent and very experienced in their roles. My dad looks forward to their visits. I have never seen him laugh so much and am very grateful to the ladies for their support.
It is easy to make contact and responses are always prompt. The timekeeping of the carers is excellent,

can't fault them.
I would highly recommend Caremark to anyone who needs help. They go above and beyond and truly care for those in need. They have made life so easy for us, enabling us to enjoy visits with Dad as family members and not as carers.

We can't thank Caremark enough for the amazing care they took of our dad. He felt cared for, had much-needed company and they played a big part in his recovery after surgery. I spoke with them on several occasions and they were always polite, easy to talk to and seemed to genuinely care about Dad.

Hi Lauren, we greatly appreciate your review. A big part of our service is to encourage recovery and independence. So we are very glad our care services helped Dad in this way. Thank you again.

I can't praise the carers Caremark, Gravesend sent to us highly enough. My mother has advanced vascular dementia and the carers understood her and engaged her in a variety of activities. We are truly grateful for the support we have received and for how responsive Caremark were to helping us care for

Mum in what has been a tricky period for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who needs help to care for a family member.

Caremark has been looking after my grandmother since December 2020. All the carers are well trained and really helpful. My grandmother's mobility has improved and she can walk around the house independently. The office staff are very helpful and supportive too. I would definitely recommend Caremark.

We are happy with our carer. Mum feels at ease with her. She is always on time which helps us plan our day and when I can prepare her first meal. Care of my mum has improved as her carer has become more used to her role, although when she first came she didn't seem to have been offered much training.

I would just suggest more training for new employees. We are generally very happy with her now.

Caremark (Dartford & Gravesham) are easy to deal with. The standard of carers is very good with one particular carer being exceptional. He treats my father as if he were his own, uses his initiative, is always willing to go the extra mile and doesn't miss a thing. It's great to know that your loved

one is being looked after so well when you live far away.

Overall Experience

I cannot praise the services of Caremark (Dartford & Gravesham) enough. From the competence and efficiency of their administrative staff, through to the genuine care and compassion of their care workers, this is a truly exceptional care agency.
Having struggled to find Asian care providers for my

mother, I was delighted to find that Caremark understood our needs and ensured that their service was tailored to our particular circumstances. My mother was treated with respect and dignity (as was I) and as her condition deteriorated, Caremark sought to extend their services to make sure that we were supported throughout.
I really don't know how I would have managed without them. I have used other care providers who will do the job, but with Caremark, I felt that my responsibility was shared. With their support, I was able to keep my mother at home throughout her illness and for this, I will always be grateful.

Overall Experience

My uncle, who passed away recently, was well into his 90's and had no friends or relatives who lived nearby. He was determined to remain in his own home and eventually accepted that he needed help. Caremark responded with a sensitive assessment and then carer visits that started with just one hour a

week but gradually increased as the need became greater, eventually giving round-the-clock care.
I particularly valued Caremark because of the careful choice they made of a carer who would suit my uncle's needs. It was the skills and compassion of this first carer that gradually convinced my uncle that he needed personal care and paved the way to a much more comfortable life for him. I also particularly value the responsiveness of the Caremark coordinators. As my uncle grew more frail, he was frequently taken into hospital for short stays; Caremark ensured that there was always someone there when he arrived home, and provided overnight care at short notice. We are very grateful.

Overall Experience

We recently needed twice-daily care for my elderly father who had worsening dementia and has now gone into full-time care. I can’t praise Caremark’s staff enough for the fantastic service they provided over the course of the few weeks they were looking after him. I don’t know how we would have coped

without them, it was so reassuring knowing they were going in and helping him with daily tasks, administering tablets and cooking his meals etc. They were fabulous!

Overall Experience

Last Wednesday evening I needed to arrange a night sitter for my elderly mother, who was extremely unwell. Although it was at very short notice, Caremark arranged for a young lady to sit through the night as company for my mother and to give her frequent drinks of water, as she was very dehydrated.

The care assistant was an excellent choice. She gave my mother frequent drinks of water through the night and chatted with her during the periods while she was awake. She was friendly, helpful and professional and spoke to me by telephone the next morning to update me on the situation. My mother felt comfortable and confident in her company. I can thoroughly recommend the care assistant and Caremark itself.

Having Caremark carers has been like winning the lottery. Carers are friendly, cheerful and expert; consummate professionals who are keen to do as much for me as they can. (They are good at chatting too)
Although I have not been with them for a long time, I can't fault them. And I am not expecting

that to change.
