My dad has been attending the Caremark day sessions at a local football club. He's really enjoyed himself at these sessions - particularly with the carers who have been very attentive to his needs and have done their very best to make him smile.

We are pleased your dad is enjoying Safe Place Tuesdays. Thank you for letting us know and leaving such a nice review.

The service that Caremark provide to my children is 100%. The carers are amazing and have brought our children on a long way. The carers do a lot of outdoor and indoor activities with the children, and it’s working really well. The children have really taken to the carers also, the carers are always
professional in everything they do. The office staff are always very helpful if we ever have any queries about anything - our problems are always sorted out very professionally and sorted virtually straight away too.

All the staff members who have attended my husband have always been polite, empathetic and cheerful.
Some days when his mobility is particularly bad, they need to have extra patience and understanding, which has never been a problem. I really don't know how we would manage without them.
Can't thank
you enough for the first-class service you provide.

Caremark provides a high standard of service. They put high regard on client and family wishes. The care support around my son is exemplary. My son receives live-in care which has allowed him to move into his first property and develop independence.

Have been with Caremark for 18 months now and have found them to be very caring and efficient. The carers are wonderful and are more like friends. I have been mostly housebound since leaving hospital and would have become very depressed without their visits to cheer me up and take care of me.

Review from Donnette T (Daughter of Client) published on 16 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Caremark provides a three-hour sitting service three times a week, plus a one-hour bathing call for my mother. The company also provides a weekly rota of staff, who are attending that week - though carers are swapped/changed regularly. Sadly, each week we often have different carers, most of whom,
are very young and often struggle to engage and communicate with my mother over such a long period. However, they are positive and caring, and the only issue is my mother reports several sit with their mobile phone rather than engage with Mum.

All issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. Still, they should communicate with me prior to contacting social services. I've found this very odd, to be honest. Other than that, all good. Dad seems to have adjusted now to being woken up.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I would like a constant team of people. I do not like people entering my house that I do not know. Since we joined Caremark, we have enjoyed three people who come to the house, in particular. We do not like it when the rota is changed and some one else comes. I think we should be notified when some
different carer will be arriving.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to my contracting COVID, I have had to request more care for my mother - namely tea time calls. This was dealt with professionally and promptly. It has had a massive impact on myself, as I haven't needed to worry about her, her medications or her evening meal. And she has been happy too. We have
used Caremark for many years now and appreciate all their hard work and care, especially during the pandemic.

Hi Wendy, thank you for your kind words, we are delighted you are happy with the care we provide to your mum.

My mum has had carers since last year, if it wasn't for this company supporting my sister and me, we would not be able to look after our mum at home. Nothing seems to be too much for them. All of the carers are efficient, caring, professional and respectful of Mum's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend
this care company to friends and family.

Review from Nicola R (Mother of Client) published on 11 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has severe learning disabilities and receives regular care and support from Caremark and has done for a few years. As she cannot do anything for herself and is dependent on others to meet her needs and keep her safe, she requires a substantial amount of care.
The care workers we have are
reliable and look after my daughter well. This gives me the opportunity to relax, catch up on jobs in the home and spend some time with my youngest daughter, who likes to be involved and assist the care workers, especially during teatime and weekend calls.
Should we have any queries, I find they are always responded to promptly, and any problems or issues we have are resolved effectively.

Most of the girls are fantastic with Mam, treat her with dignity and are very friendly with her. Some have been coming for years and feel more like family.
When I do have any problems, the supervisors are always on hand to sort things out.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.745 for Caremark Redcar & Cleveland is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.745

  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
