Review from G C (Wife of Client) published on 4 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

She arrives on time, is chatty, is helpful, well presented, friendly. Helps my husband with his lunch, then cleans up. She sits with him while he watches his programs and we both like her. Even though I haven't said much I think I have said everything.

Overall Experience

We have had care from Caremark for our daughter Grace for 5 years . We have always felt included in staffing issues concerning our daughter . We have always had great carers especially our current carer Adeila who understands our daughter and works closely with our family. We are very happy with the care provided and the understanding given if situations change. We would recommend Caremark to others.

Since we started using Caremark to support our mum who has dementia, we have found everyone to be friendly and helpful. Changes to days or times are handled efficiently and mum enjoys her visits from her girls.

Overall Experience

Caremark have always been very accommodating with changes to our sons call times. Recently he has had a visit into hospital but came out earlier than expected, Caremark were very flexible in putting care back into place at very short notice. The carestaff are extremely friendly and you can see they really care about their job and the clients they see. Unlike other care companies we have used, at present we have never been let down by a care call. Overall extremely happy with how things are going and would not hesitate in recommending them to others

Overall Experience
The Management team always deal with calls and emails quickly and in a supportive, caring, polite manner. The carers are kind, considerate and understanding of my husband's needs.
They always call to advise if they're going to be a little late.
They take my husband out on visits and always to places that he enjoys.
Ensuring that he's always safe and happy.
He returns happy and comfortable.
Caremark as a company do their utmost to make sure they're attending to the needs of my husband and will always go the extra mile.

Their social events are very well planned and provide the opportunity for carers and clients to meet one another and have fun.

Review from M R (Client / Service User) published on 26 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When I started with Caremark 3 years ago, I had no confidence in myself, I was hoarding, and my bipolar disorder was unstable as I was conflicted about transitioning from male to female. Since then, with their care, support, acceptance and encouragement, I have:-
Regained my confidence & self belief.
Regained control of my bipolar disorder.
Decided to approach my GP to be referred for transitioning.
I am also engaging with life, in that I have an active social life and I have started to do art again.
I also have ambitions; it has been suggested to me that I might be suitable to be a volunteer mentor for my local community mental health service - this is something I 'd like to do. I have also been asked by the Samaritans if I would be a volunteer for them ( I would do this in a few years' time). I would also like to take courses in psychology.

I also have plans to be more involved with the LGBTQ+ community, and I am also determined to get my house in final order and redecorate ASAP

Overall Experience

I had to have care due to living on my own and having a knee replacement. From the initial assessment, to the end of my six week care, it was a great experience for having care which I was dreading. Office staff were great when I called, carers were cheerful and very professional right to the end. Would recommend this company to anyone.

When I first contacted Caremark Central Bedfordshire, they were extremely helpful. Then when one staff member in particular came to visit us and go through everything she was extremely pleasant helpful and very friendly.
Dad has since been very happy with all his carers, of which are a nice small group of friendly helpful people.

They have helped with all my dad's needs and take their time with him. We could not praise them enough.

Review from R W (Client / Service User) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My wife and I (both 80) are learning to cope with her advanced mixed dementia and arthritis issues. We contracted with Caremark Central Bedfordshire to give us additional respite care. We already receive help from another provider, but wanted to make sure we were not inadvertently left in the lurch when replacement carers were unavailable (holiday, etc.).

From the outset, our experience with Caremark has been exemplary. The first impression was positive in that great care was taken to identify our needs, and make sure that relevant personal details were declared and recorded. We were initially concerned that a new carer unfamiliar with us and our quirks would cause friction, and maybe even increase already heightened stress levels. Not so. The various carers we have had have universally been easy to get on with, yet totally professional. A significant factor we experience is that Caremark keep a close eye on care progress, with a more or less monthly informal visit to make sure no problems are arising.

Overall Experience

We find the carers are very polite, friendly and punctual most of the time. We feel that older people would appreciate having to get used to fewer carers as we are not always good at accepting change. Being in hospital, we have found has it's drawbacks, that is our only real grievance is that we are charged if we do not give 24 hour notice, how this is possible if you are being told one minute you can come home then they turn round tell you that you've got to stay in. Apart from that we are very happy with everything else. Thank you very much for all the support you give.

My Dad's carer found my dad unconscious last week and was amazing. She helped him till paramedics arrived and took him to hospital. It seems it may have been a bad stroke, but whatever caused this, thanks to her, my dad is still alive today! Also massive thanks to the care manager who has been an amazing support through all of this.

Just can't thank you enough, and your staff member for saving our father's life recently after a serious medical episode. On behalf of me and my two brothers. It was the quick thinking of your member of staff who identified there was a serious problem and got him the medical attention he needed urgently. Very difficult to put into words, but thank you so much.

Overall Experience
Home care has been providing care to my father for the past 3 years, initially for 1-2 hours per day but, more recently progressing to a live-in carer. I have found them to be delivering an excellent level of care. They are flexible, respectful, and understanding, encouraging my father when he is able and supporting him when he is not.

The need to move to a full-time live-in carer was responded to quickly and efficiently. We are very happy with the carer we have, who supports with personal care, and day-to-day support such as cooking and cleaning, and even advocates for him in meetings with healthcare professionals, when appropriate.
