I have given a 5 star rating as this company/staff are always going above and beyond. My dad has been with the company since the beginning of the year. My dad is very very specific about how things are done and can be quite demanding. They have catered and adapted to my dad well. Every time I have needed
to call/email. They have been very responsive and so helpful. The management is absolutely amazing. P.S. My dad has had 5+ care companies, this is by far the best company. Thanks again Caremark for the services.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and although I have been her carer over the past couple of years I also work full time in a local care home. I've been getting exhausted and wanted to take a break away. A member of staff came to do the assessment at home and I was impressed from the
get-go. I was then contacted by the managing director Prab who was extremely supportive and helpful in setting up a care package within days and more importantly in time for me to fly on my holidays, I naturally felt guilty about leaving Mum but I needed to have as I could see each day via our home camera system that her team of carers were giving mum excellent care with a personal touch. It was quite emotional when I saw Mum greet her carers with a hug as she was so pleased to see them. I can highly recommend Caremark if you are looking for home care. You can trust them with your loved ones 100% and feel reassured that any questions are handled quickly and professionally. I have my life back.

Excellent communication and they have made my dad feel more confident in his own home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Caremark has been very understanding in a situation I had with my aunt, who is 95 years of age. She was in and out of the hospital etc, and Caremark arranged care for her and was very understanding when she was returned to the hospital. They sorted out the type of care that was needed, the amount of
carers, and when I wanted them to attend to my aunt. They were always there at the end of the telephone to give advice. I would recommend them that is why I have a 5-star rating.

Caremark began providing support for my relative at the end of January 2024. I contacted them after reading their very positive reviews and reports of other families' satisfaction with the care provided for their family members. One of the carers has been so kind and positive, professional and patient
with my relative who can be challenging at times. The manager and staff are very easy to contact and have been very supportive. I’m very glad that Caremark has provided care and I’d be happy to recommend them.

I can’t thank Caremark enough for their professionalism; warm, caring and compassionate attitude during my mother’s last months of her life. You provided my mum with the space to fulfil her wishes, achieving the things she wanted to do. In the process putting a HUGE smile on her face and mine. In my
grief, I am able to hold onto those memories of my mother’s happy moments with her carers. Thank you everyone!

Caremark had been recommended to me as a very professional and flexible caring company. We were really impressed by how quickly they came out to assess our needs and how quickly the care package was set up. Caremark makes a point of allocating you a carer who is a really good fit for your needs and
personality.


My husband recently had a very serious MS flare up and as I am still recovering from surgery and radiotherapy, I was really struggling to care for him, as well as myself and our home. A male carer came to help for one hour in the late evening for a week to help my husband to bed and to do any household chores which needed doing. We found him to be a lovely, gentle man who was always friendly and courteous. He was a great help to us.

I recently moved my mother from another provider who were dreadful to the point of being hazardous. I was recommended Caremark by a friend. They took over mother's care and things have improved immeasurably. Carers are thorough and spend time conversing with mother. Mother's demeanour has improved as
a result and I am much relieved of the worry about the other provider's short comings.

My sister-in-law is a residential care nurse with many years of experience in the needs of the elderly and less mobile people. Therefore we had 'inside knowledge' of what we were looking for regarding domiciliary care for our mother who has Parkinson's disease and very limited mobility. Caremark Northampton
ticked all of our boxes and we are very satisfied with the level of care and compassion displayed by all of their staff and management team. I highly recommend that you contact Caremark if you need any assistance or professional advice regarding home and domiciliary care for yourself or a loved one.

Caremark have been fantastic every step of the way. I first contacted them in February and they were so professional and friendly compared to other companies. They really took the time to understand my grandad’s needs and how he could best be supported. The care plan encourages and empowers him to be
as independent as possible in a safe environment at home. His carers are incredible - so friendly, supportive, respectful - and he describes them as friends now rather than carers! The management team have been so responsive and efficient. I would highly recommend Caremark Northampton.

We first started using Caremark in March 2023 and are still using them. They are an amazing company and have helped transition my dad from a rehabilitation centre to his home, where he continues to make progress in getting back his independence. They continue to provide care in a supervisory role and
encourage Dad to do things himself, while making sure he is always safe. He regards them as friends and they often do things together over and above their role. For example, they take him to his hospital appointments and to his bowls club. I would highly recommend Caremark, not only for the level of care they provide, but the lovely people they have working for them.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.935 for Caremark Northampton is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.935
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Caremark Northampton is based on 36 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
