My mother has home carers from Caremark (Richmond & Twickenham) for the last seven weeks and they have been wonderful. My mother who has been totally resistant to any form of care and still is cannot speak higher of them and the office staff are extremely approachable, reassuring and friendly. They
have been a lifeline for my peace of mind, knowing my mother has regular daily contact whilst I am working and Mum has been noticeably so much more motivated in herself, with a purpose and routine in place. They are also extremely adaptable to Mum's changing needs and totally flexible on the times they can offer, dependent on when family are visiting Mum and care is not required. They are also fair and competitively priced and do not charge a retainer fee if Mum needs a vacation or a stay in hospital, unlike other home care providers. I would have no hesitancy in recommending this God given home care service and will continue to use them as Mum's needs change.

My uncle gets three visits daily from Caremark (Richmond & Twickenham) since the start of the pandemic. During the whole of last year all the carers who visited him went beyond their regular duties. Whether its booking a GP appointment, getting medication from the pharmacy or arranging shopping, they
have done it all with utmost care and responsibility. As I live away from him, I can't be always there for him.

I am the carer for my husband who has dementia. I had almost reached breaking point when I contacted Caremark. I had also contacted another agency.
I was looking to hire help for me as my husband could not accept he needed help.
I went to the offices rather than rely on making enquiries on the telephone
and was able to meet the managing director and another director, in addition to the main contact for seeking help. All three impressed me by their clear commitment to providing me with assistance and solving my problem.
From the first, I was reassured by their thoroughness. The clear aim was to provide support.
My family had been concerned what might happen if I were to fall sick or have an accident. I decided I had to find a care agency that would be able to look after both my husband and myself in an emergency. In a sense, it is a form of insurance for us both. I have been really relieved by what I have been able to put in place.

We have been very pleased with the care service received for more than a year. The carers assigned have arrived promptly, provided efficient and caring service. We are especially pleased with the current carer who has established a very positive relationship and as a result, the condition of the patient
has remained very steady.

The excellent care provided over the past 9-months has assisted my mother's recovery following surgery. Continuity of care throughout lockdown was so reassuring when the close family were unable to visit.
The carers have been attentive and caring to my mother, and have kept an eye on my father too.
Having care at home has enabled my parents to remain in their own home, which is so important to them both, and to the rest of the family.
It's a difficult decision for a family to start care, and I have valued Caremark's support for me too. From the very first phone call to the care coordinator, I knew that I had found the solution, and the care manager's assessment visit reinforced this. You have always been there to talk things through, and I have valued your understanding and advice, thank you.

I was put in touch with Caremark when my Mum suddenly needed help at home after a few months in the hospital. It took Mum a while to accept carers coming in, but she eventually grew very comfortable with them, and from the start, they were nothing but reliable, trustworthy and professional. Mum deteriorated
somewhat and without doubt, the wonderful carers made it possible for Mum to stay at home for as long as she could. They really do become friends and they really do go the extra mile when needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caremark to my family and friends.

I had a very prompt response to a request for some temporary care for my husband, who has dementia and who fell in the stairs at home. We needed help with getting up in the morning, showering and dressing. As time went by, we were glad to have companionship care. The main carer was exceptional and she
responded to all our needs with grace, energy and efficacy. If we need care services in the future we would have no hesitation in engaging Caremark and recommend their mode of operation, right from the initial assessment by the care manager, through to execution over many weeks. This is our first experience of engaging care services and we have no idea of the correctness of charges having nothing to compare with. I felt perfectly comfortable with the charges.

I was forced to change my father's care agency at a challenging time in April, due to COVID-19. My father is 89 and very frail, requiring three hourly visits a day. Caremark was extremely accommodating at short notice and proactive in ensuring a smooth transition and that Dad's complex needs were fully
meet. Each carer visiting Dad has been truly amazing - they genuinely care, are thoughtful, kind and treat my dad with respect and dignity.

The amount of care and indeed the quality has gradually increased as my Aunt's needs change. She now has visits three times a day with two or three carers mainly attending in the week. My Aunt has become more content with the visits. She now lets one lady help her with the bathing, which is amazing.

They want to give those people the opportunity to spend time as a family member and not just as a carer.

By placing their trust in us, customers and their loved ones can have the confidence to enjoy a more independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home."


Shipra is passionate about quality and ensuring that the individuals that she supports receive the best possible service.
