I have regular a regular carer. She is very good, but when she is on holiday things go down hill. I don't like male carers.

Overall Experience

Staff are very good with Mum, they make sure she drinks plenty, which she won't do for others. They make sure she is clean and dressed properly. Most of the carers come on time and they always check she has eaten her meals. I go to work knowing she is well looked after.

Review from Louise M (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 21 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The care provided is good, but some carers could do better with their timekeeping. Most carers are very accommodating and very respectful of my dad in law and his specific requirements. They provide a good level of care and very rarely miss appointments. Those who work in the main office could be more proactive when taking calls, they don't even take specific details so I do worry messages don't get past to the relevant people sometimes. There is a good mixture of carers and they are always happy and positive.

Having worked all my life, it has been difficult adjusting to having to rely on other people, but I couldn't ask for anything more than the care I receive.

The team treat me with great dignity and respect.

The carers are considerate and friendly. They treat my mother with dignity. She is happy with the standard of care provided and with the particular carers assigned to her. The carers seem to enjoy their job, which makes all the difference. They are genuinely interested in my mother and her family.

Duncan Smith
Duncan SmithJob Title:Managing DirectorJoined: 2015

Inspired by the memory of my Grandfather, Murray Affleck, who was a well-known and respected Doctor (Consultant Physician) at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, I have opened Caremark Kirklees with the vision to become the best provider of home care in the region. The focus is on delivering the highest quality of care possible in order to improve the quality of life for the people supported by Caremark.

Born in the Holme Valley and raised in Huddersfield, I have a wide ranging business background, with both international and UK sales experience. My mission is to provide a local service where I can make a difference to those who have chosen to remain in their own home and receive personal care to enable them to be independent, secure and retain their dignity.
