Caremark is a British home care services company that operates a network of Franchising, specialising in both private-pay and state-funded home care. It was founded by Kevin Lewis, Chief Executive, in 2005 and is based in Worthing.
In 2019, Noorina Boodhooa, who owns the franchise in the London Borough of Barnet, and is also senior clinical site manager at the Royal London Hospital met with Boris Johnson to discuss long-term funding solutions and improving hospital-to-home transfers.
In 2020 the business had 128 offices and employed about 6,000 people. Most of the offices are in the UK, with 12 in Ireland, one in Malta and one in India. The Indian office, in Cochin provides free care in a home for 180 people who have been 'abandoned'.
In April 2020 the business was looking to recruit 3000 extra staff in the UK because of demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. One of the staff from Guildford and Woking was gifted a free tank of petrol and a round of applause from random bystanders at a petrol station. It is also actively recruiting in Ireland.
In 2022 it had more than 7,000 remote caregivers in 115 franchise offices.
In 2021, Caremark Gloucestershire started trials of 'Genie', a voice-activated robot which provides free video calling, welfare video monitoring with alerts, entertainment and access to online shopping and remote medical support for older people. It enables their customers to speak to and see their friends and family.
Two staff from the Huddersfield franchise were nominated for the Great British Care Awards in 2019.
