I have been very impressed by the service offered by Caremark. They took over looking after my Mum and Dad at very short notice and were able to accommodate their requirements.
All the staff are very professional and friendly. I would be very pleased to recommend Caremark to anybody needing in-home
care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience with care mark is above any expectations we might have had.
At 98 mum is unable to manage at home by herself. Her health and mobility has fluctuated as have her care needs.
We have been impressed by the way her care has been tailored to allow her to stay in her own home. Regular reviews
to assess her changing health needs, to keep her safe and comfortable and most of all to provide real friendship.
The care, kindness and professionalism of the Caremark staff has been exceptional and we are so grateful.
We would have no hesitation in recommending their service.

Review from Anne C (Client) published on 27 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The weekly hourly sheet issued to the client does not comply with the care workers phones, which means that the carers turn up too early or too late or sometimes never. When this is addressed to the management, nothing is corrected. What I will say is that the girls are very hard working and very kind
to people of my age group. Now as a result of complaining about the issue over times to the company, they have terminated my contract.
Reply from Alina Conway at Caremark Winchester & Eastleigh

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you were not fully satisfied with the service we provided for you and acknowledge your feedback. It is important to clarify that our decision was based on the carers’ feedback and that it was not an easy decision to take. We wish you well in the future.

Review from Carol A (Daughter of Client) published on 1 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my initial phone conversation with staff at the Caremark office through to the home assessment with my Dad, all the communications have been open and very friendly. My parents found all the staff comforting and trusted them to undertake my Dad's personal care to a very high standard. Time schedules
were adhered to which was very important to my parents and enabled them to plan the rest of their day after the carer had visited.
Reply from Calum Gray at Caremark Winchester & Eastleigh

We are delighted that you and your parents had such a successful relationship with Caremark. Our carers found your parents to be an inspiration - please pass on our very best wishes to them. Thank you for such a generous testimonial.

I am very impressed with Caremark's care of my mother. The carers were all very kind and I felt at times went over and above their duties to ensure that she was safe and well looked after. There were a difficult few weeks before she went into hospital and everyone, management and carers, did their utmost
to ensure her care and comfort. Whenever I met carers or had to contact the office I was always treated in a friendly fashion and impressed with everyone's commitment to my mother.
Reply from Calum Gray at Caremark Winchester & Eastleigh

Thank you for such a positive testimonial. It is clear that everyone, carers and office team alike, considered your mother a delightful, warm and friendly person. It was a real pleasure to provide her care and support as well as giving you the reassurance that she was in safe hands.

I could not be more satisfied or happy with the care assistance I get. My needs vary from day to day and the caring I encounter feel able to assess and deal with me as necessary. I would recommend my service providers and their staff to anyone.

Caremark cared for my son until he died and treated us with the utmost care and compassion, they went far beyond what is expected from a care company and helped make an impossibly difficult time a little more bearable. I cannot praise them enough.
Reply from Calum Gray, Managing Director at Caremark Winchester & Eastleigh

Your generous testimonial is greatly appreciated. I can only imagine how difficult things were for you and the family so it's gratifying to know that the carers helped to ease the pain, even just a little. Thank you.

All the staff involved in Dad's care cannot be faulted. A high level of care was provided at all times and foremost demonstrated that they genuinely cared. I cannot thank everyone enough for what they did for my Dad.

It was our privilege to provide your father's care and support. We are sorry for your loss. Thank you for your kind words - rest assured that we will inform the Carers.
