Caremark are the Best, very caring towards my mother-in-law, really can not do enough. Definitely go that extra mile, nothing is too much trouble.
We had to ring my mother-in-law's Supervisor on Sunday, with a small problem. The Supervisor was lovely, even came to the house to see what could be done, there and then and the rest had to be put into place Monday.
As a very much appreciating family, for all the hard work Caremark team do, we just cannot thank you all enough.
Thanks again.

I have had Caremark looking after me since May 2015 as my old care company could not provide the increase in care i needed. At first i was not happy to change as i had been with the old company a long time. It was not long before i got used to the new carers, they are always pleased and happy. I have the same carers over the week so they know my needs. They treat me with respect and dignity in my own home and they stick to their rota times, which is always the same each day. The staff are lovely and i would recommend them.

We are very pleased with the care we receive from our carers. They are very helpful in all aspects. They are very cheerful and we look forward to seeing them twice a day. As of this moment we have never had any issues with Caremark, we are always told if the carers will be late or earlier of any changes.
