I have used Caremark as a sitting service for my husband for the last few months. I have found them very accommodating, professional, very caring and understanding to my husbands needs.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Overall Experience

Having an almost 97 year old mother is wonderful, but also a big challenge. My husband and I go on holidays and trips quite often and are trying to make the most of our time together - leaving my mum is the most difficult bit, particularly as she doesn't make it easy and makes her displeasure well known 'my family has abandoned me' being one of her many cutting comments. The staff at Caremark have been wonderful with my mum, they are lovely with her, patient and caring when covering the beginning and end of days. I feel safe in the knowledge that my mum is in good hands. This has enabled me to live my life, rather than having to choose between my husband and my mum. Thank you for all you are doing.

My Dad is the client, he finds all the staff at Caremark warm, friendly & professional. He loves the parties they put on for the clients. I have to take him to these events but even I'm impressed with how welcoming I am made to feel, How well they are organised. It is lovely to see all the clients having fun & laughter all together. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each & every member of staff at Caremark for the outstanding work they do. I could not ask for a better care company as this one to look after my Dad.

The agency have been very friendly and efficient.
I would recommend the agency.

The main carer has been on time, she is kind and helpful. All of the other carers sent to us have also been good. It has meant a lot to me to have 'time to myself'.

Overall Experience
we were already using Caremark for a sitting service when my mum was taken into hospital. on mums departure from hospital we were let down by the local authorities for care visits. I contacted Gemma at Caremark and I have to say she was brilliant and went above and beyond to arrange 3 visits a day for the week cover that we needed within the same day of contact.
The ladies that came to care for mum were absolutely fantastic, very kind, caring , helpful & understanding. Reliably arriving at times given for the visits.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for care for a loved one, if I could rate them higher than a 5 star I would.
i would like to say a big thank you to all of you that have helped so far.

Review from Keith T (Son of Client) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Carers provide good support to my mother, providing meals and helping her get up and go to bed. Resourcing issues mean that scheduled timings are rather erratic and a number of different carers are used, which makes establishing a routine rather difficult, but the carers themselves are very supportive and mum is happy with them.

Reply from Shweta Batra, Director at Caremark Central Bedfordshire
Hi Keith, thank you for your review. I have spoken to the manager about this and this has been rectified since the review was done (April 2026).

I am glad that mum like all the care workers and we have been able to provide excellent service to your mum. Many thanks again for choosing Caremark.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
