The carers have been kind, respectful & helpful in looking after my dad. Nothing is too much trouble for them. When we had a crisis, the carer did an addiction call to he;p my dad and keep him comfortable. The manager of the service has been in constant contact and answers any changes required are seamlessly
made.

Exceptional service delivered by exceptional carers.
Looking after my mother has shown me that being a carer is a very hard and often difficult job. It requires empathy, compassion and dedication which my mother's carers have in abundance (each and every one of them !).
I am deeply grateful for all
that they do for her. Also for their invaluable advice and support which is a great help to me.
The carers really do become part of the family. My mother and I have grown very fond of them all !
Also a big thank you to the management team who have gone above and beyond the call of duty on a numerous occasions.
Well done Caremark !

The live in carer goes above and beyond to look after mum. She cooks for her from scratch another purees the food. She makes sure she drinks enough and that she is always comfortable. The other cares that come in 3 times per day are always gentle and careful when helping mum. She loves to see them.

Reply from Brooke Draper, Registered Care Manager at Caremark Hatfield, Welwyn & St Albans

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that your mum is receiving the care and attention she deserves.

I am very grateful to the lovely staff at Caremark who looked after my mum, at home for two and a half years after she became bedridden, with compassion and kindness. All the carers were reliable, supportive and attentive, and communication with the friendly admin staff was always quick and efficient.
Would highly recommend.

She stayed several days, was fully trustworthy, a great cook and company, and gave me great peace of mind.

I don't normally write reviews but I have to say Caremark has helped me with my mum who has Dementia sadly. I did try a care home and my mum was so upset and stressed there. Moved back to her home and now the Caremark staff has changed my mum back to a calm, happy-go-lucky lady and has helped in every
way. That includes me, I can relax knowing my mum is safe 24/7 all in all very happy with Caremark's service in taking care of my mum.
Thank you, Caremark for your special service in a very hard time.

Sadly my mother has passed away. However while she was alive and bedridden. The care she received from Caremark was at all times faultless... The carers went above and beyond what was expected from them. Often buy things like milk, etc out of their own money! (I always paid them back). Sometimes they
even over ran their allocated time. Every carer was friendly, attentive, polite, and most of all caring.
It was always very easy to get hold of the office, even out of hours.
So, a big thank you for a job well done.

We are deeply sorry for your loss and extend our sincerest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. It is heartening to hear that our carers were able to provide the support and compassion that you and your mother needed. Your kind words about our team's dedication and willingness to go above and beyond are incredibly meaningful to us. Please know that your appreciation has been shared with the entire Caremark team, and it will certainly motivate us to continue delivering exceptional care to all our clients. Thank you once again for your kind words and for choosing Caremark. We are here for you if you need any support or assistance in the future.

Overall the carers have been very good. On occasions l have found it difficult to understand some of the carers, this could be down to my deafness and the wearing of masks. On each visit, the carers have asked if there is anything else they can do to assist me. I would like to thank them for all the
consideration they have given me.

I can't look after my 90-year-old mother myself now and don't know how we would cope without the carers.
I like the fact that the office and I are in regular contact and feel that we have a 'partnership'.
If there is a problem I ring and they sort it quickly. Also, I like that somebody will ring me
if the carer has concerns.
There were a few problems in the beginning but very quickly put right.
Mum looks forward to the carers' visits and they treat her with such respect and care.
It is also reassuring that Caremark will call a doctor very quickly if there is anything wrong.
