Why Home Care?
Home care is an extremely stable industry. And it’s growing year on year!With the ageing population ever increasing, and the fact that they’re choosing to receive care in their own homes, means home care is recession and pandemic proof.
With stability and longevity, home care is a great choice for owning a franchise and a profitable future.

We’re not new to this. In fact, we are one of the largest home care companies in the UK; delivering more than 124,000 hours hours of excellent home care each week.

Our brand operates in all home care markets. This is because, as we’ve said before, we care passionately about people - all people!
We believe that everyone, regardless of their social standing, should have the right to remain living in their own home and be given the care and assistance to do so as safely and securely as possible.
We have worked hard to build our brand in all markets and across the entire home care industry; serving private customers who pay for their own care as well as customers who require their local authority to arrange care for them.

The prestigious ranking is bestowed on those that attain the highest score from service users, customers, family and friends on leading review website, homecare.co.uk.
The seven awarded offices achieved a top 20 position within their respective regions, indicating an exceptional level of care, customer satisfaction and positive engagement within each community.

- Caremark Harrow - London

- Caremark Liverpool - North West England
- Caremark Newcastle - North East

Homecare.co.uk hosts reviews for a total of 12,747 providers across the UK and attracts over 3 million visits a year which highlights the significance of this accomplishment for each of Caremark’s seven listed offices.
Commenting on the achievement, David Glover, joint CEO of Caremark, said:
“We are incredibly proud of our teams across the country for their unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional care. Being recognised in the Top 20 Home Care Provider Awards is a testament to each office’s hard work and our collective dedication to make a positive difference in the lives of the people we care for.
“For people searching for care for a loved one, Homecare.co.uk is a trusted platform. Users can share their experiences and rate the quality of care they receive which ensures transparency and reliability in the rankings. Knowing this accolade is a direct result of what people think of us makes it particularly meaningful to us all. The compassion shown daily by staff has been recognised by customers and their families and it’s incredibly humbling that our communities are in turn showing us support with reviews that acknowledge how we strive to improve lives at Caremark.”
Caremark's consistent presence in the Top 20 awards underscores its reputation as a leading provider in the home care industry, continually setting high standards for quality and customer satisfaction.
I chose Caremark because of the brand name. Caremark is nationally known and I also like its mission statement which is to achieve greatness in the provision of domiciliary care throughout the UK. I found out during the initial consultation that Caremark has in place an excellent support package for all its Franchisees and that is something you don't really get with other Franchise companies.”
It is important for any franchisor to quickly recognise weaknesses in their franchise owners and help them grow and develop in those areas. After all, one of the reasons we bought into a franchise was for the guidance and support the franchisor can provide. I believe Caremark, through personal experience, are well placed to recognise these issues in new franchise owners.
If you were to ask me what I was doing right, then the only thing that I can say is that in our business there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of the Caremark system and what this brings. Caremark is the best investment I have ever made and I would like to share that belief with the rest of the network.
We have worked together for the past 10 years at Oldham local authority within children, young people and families directorate. Having previously considered other franchisors within the domiciliary care sector, we came to the decision that Caremark was the one for us. This was due to the quality and professionalism shown at every level of the organisation.
