Review from V W (Client) assisted by family/friend published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, we have been satisfied with Caremark. We recently had a customer review with one of the local managers. We have been clients for over a year, and we gave positive feedback.
One issue has been few carers volunteer to help in the home, whilst their patients uses the toilet, they stand/sit using
their mobile. One carer was exceptional in voluntarily emptying bins, washing breakfast dishes, or sweeping the kitchen. Most disappointing was one carer refused to operate a wheelchair.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great service, friendly, keeps you to date and definitely goes the extra mile to help. Will always telephone if there's a problem which is great. The two carers are really helpful and will always make sure my dad is kept safe and well.

Review from C I (Granddaughter of Client) published on 9 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Caremark have been assisting my grandmother for about a year and they have been brilliant.
The carers are always friendly towards my grandmother, and she really enjoys the companionship Caremark provides.
The office have also been accommodating if we ever need to put in extra visits or cancel visits,
and have always been friendly if we have any questions and queries.
My grandmother enjoys the company and feels comfortable with her carers.
Would definitely recommend Caremark Poole

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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.500 for Caremark Poole is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 4.5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Caremark Poole is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
