The care staff are friendly, polite, and professional. They always ask if I require any other help over and beyond their duties for each of my daily calls. Highly recommend it to others requiring Caremarks services.

Cannot thank Caremark enough for looking after Mum. After two falls one after another and two major operations the care, assistance, and making Mum feel comfortable have been excellent. The language barrier has been the hardest battle for Mum but the careers have all managed to communicate with an online
translator and have made Mum laugh and put her at ease although she was in a lot of pain. We will miss you all a great bunch of honest and caring people. The management has been quick in organising sitting care for Mum and has helped us out in such difficult times when we could not take any time off from work, 3 members of staff, in particular, thank you for your understanding and the support you have had in our regards.
Reply from Tanya George, Managing Director at Caremark Great Dunmow
It has been our pleasure to support your mother. We are all delighted that she is now well enough to return to her own home. We send our very best wishes to you all. Buona salute e felicit.

We are extremely satisfied with the care given to my husband. The carers are all friendly, efficient and willing to do whatever is requested. We are so satisfied with the care received that when my husband was last in hospital, we requested Caremark. The hospital said they couldn't guarantee them and
his discharge was delayed by four days until we managed to get them.

They blow-dry my hair, are very caring and give me nice showers. They chat and provide lovely food and take extra care to make it look nice. It makes me feel safe and means I know my family are able to not worry and have help looking after me.

We have been receiving care for my father from Caremark for several months and are very impressed and grateful for the care that he receives. Caring for my dad can be challenging, as he has dementia, but Caremark carers carry out his personal care very professionally and compassionately. What sets the
carers above other companies is the warmth and good humour of many of the staff. They take the time to chat to Mum and get her smiling. The team leaders do a really excellent job. We look forward to seeing them! A big thank you from us all. One of the carers is wonderful too!

My husband has really taken to the carers. He's now verbal with limited mobility and the carers are very supportive and encourage him. He has improved greatly since coming out of hospital and really benefits from the service the carers provide.

The care my husband received from the carers was brilliant. They were all so lovely and made him and myself feel really supported.
On one occasion after my husband left hospital, we were given carers from a different company, the standard of their care made us realise how brilliant Caremark were and
fortunately we're able to return to Caremark.
I can’t praise them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hello all - I just wanted to drop you a review to let you know of our sincere gratitude for all that you did for Grandad. Even in his last few days, everyone treated him with the utmost love, care and dignity. Not only that nothing was too much trouble and everyone always checked to see how I was doing
and whether there was anything they could do for me.
We especially want to say a huge thank you to the caregivers for the constant support over these last eight months, nothing was ever too much trouble in terms of getting Grandad the support he needed and putting our minds at ease.
As a care company, each and every one of you, do just this and it shows each and every day how much you do really care. For this, my wife and I will be eternally grateful to you all.

Review from Guy G (Client) published on 22 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The carers are all of a pleasing disposition, ready and willing to carry out tasks allotted to them. Over the course of time, as the carers became accustomed to my ways, they would carry out routine tasks without a word from me, especially in the morning! Altogether, it was a pleasure to have them about
me.
(I chose to put 'good' rather than 'excellent' apart from one case - the latter is seldom achieved in this world).

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 4.778 for Caremark Great Dunmow is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 54 Ratings = 4.778
  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 relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Caremark Great Dunmow is based on 9 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4.9
  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.

Job Title: Owner Joined: 2010

I started Caremark (Chelmsford & Uttlesford) in 2010, and have worked tirelessly alongside my team to build a service we are all proud of.
We will all face a time when we need a little help; maybe for someone we love, or maybe for ourselves. At that time we would all hope the people we turn to treat us with kindness and respect. Having witnessed the difference positive care can make, I am determined that we will strive every day to support our clients to live lives that matter.

Julie Chipperfield

Job Title: Care Manager Joined: 2019

I have worked in the care sector for over 30 years I have gained a wealth of experience. I started my journey working within Domiciliary Care as a care and support worker fitting it in around my young family, and this then led to a full-time job as a Care Manager. Through this role I quickly learnt that there are many other facets to the care sector and decided to expand my care knowledge, working in the fields of Domestic Abuse, Children Support Services, Adults with Learning Needs, NVQ Assessor in Health & Social Care, Domestic Abuse Services and finally back to the Domiciliary Care Sector. I continue to be passionate about the quality of care delivered to vulnerable people and will always promote this within my roles.

Callum Porter

Job Title: Senior Care Coordinator Joined: 2020

Since 2014 I have been providing a high standard of care to not only my clients but my staff too. In the years I have worked in the care industry I have been very passionate about building a successful career for myself and Caremark have given me the opportunity to see this through. I chose to start my career path in the care industry because I feel that making a difference in someone else’s life, makes a difference to my life. Since I was young I have always wanted to do that little bit more for people and in the care industry you most certainly can achieve this, I do believe this is why I am where I am today. Building a good relationship with my carers, clients and their families is most important to me as I believe it is vital to keep them communicating with each other as much as possible. This way, together, we can provide a service that supports them personally to meet their individual needs.
