Review from V L (Daughter of Client) published on 6 May 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

As a nurse herself, my mother has spent years caring for others so when her body grew tired and help was needed Caremark came into our lives. The carers are supportive, friendly and go out of their way to become a friend to us all. Mum is looked after in a professional way with a loving feel, our carer is her friend now, giving dignity and laughter.

They are ok on the whole. Some are stroppy with a poor attitude. Could improve greatly.

Overall Experience
These two people who are here at the moment are very good. He's done things, he cleans the sides, puts away my washing up. None of the others have done this.

My worst complaint is they broke my last three small plates which means now I have to use my dinner plates and the other problem is I have had so many different people. I get used to someone and that can take a couple of weeks but then they have gone. Some are here for one day only.

Overall Experience

My mum had returned from hospital having suffered two fractures. Things were very different for her as her mobility was so limited. Her carers have been outstanding; attentive, kind, professional and have respected her dignity at all times. They have offered great advice and I absolutely trust her care in their hands. Superb!

Overall Experience

I am currently a service user as I have broken my knee and leg after an accident. The care I am currently receiving from Caremark is exceptional. I feel I am maintaining my independence and the carers understand my needs. Would highly recommend Caremark. I feel happy and relaxed with the care I receive and couldn’t ask for more. Five-star care from the carers to the office. Brilliant. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment Caremark on the quality of the service they provide. The management is very accessible responsive and pleasant to deal with. The carers never rush and take their time to do things gently and with care. They are always cheerful and provide not only personal care but also pastoral care, which is very important.

All the staff treat my dad with respect, dignity and kindness. They all do a great job and bring a big smile and fun and laughter into the house, which helps lift my dad's spirits.

The whole Caremark team are very helpful. I would recommend them to care for a loved one as you would have peace of mind they are being very well looked after.

Overall Experience

We found the company very very professional and helpful all the time. The care persons who visit are very polite and caring for the patients. Their time keeping is mostly very good, the carer would always inform us if they are running late due to traffic problems or over run the time at the previous client. The manager is very helpful and always try to accommodate your needs. I would very strongly recommend Caremark to any one who needs care.

Overall Experience

Every individual concerned with my sister's care and treated my sister with professional care, kindness, patience and good humour in sometimes trying circumstances. When the need for full-time care in a home, their recommendation was welcomed and acted on without subsequent regret. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone in need.
