Being a Care Assistant means so much more than making a lovely cup of tea. It's about giving your customers everything they need to stay comfortable, safe and happy in their own homes.

Julie Oommen, Managing Director of Caremark (Wakefield) is thrilled to be nominated as a finalist in this year’s Encouraging Women Into Franchising (EWIF) awards. This is the first time Julie has been put forward for the EWIF awards and is now a finalist in the category of New Woman Franchisee of the Year 2022! Julie already started the year well by winning a major award at the Caremark annual conference in January for the best business in her region, beating off a number of her fellow franchisees. Fingers crossed that she will be taking home another one when she goes forward to the awards ceremony to be held in London at the end of the month!
We are thrilled to announce that, for the eighth year in a row, Caremark have been recognised in the homecare.co.uk annual awards. Nine of our franchise offices across the country have been rated in the top 20 in their respective regions. The Home Care Awards recognise high-quality care and are based on reviews from customers and their families which makes this recognition all the more meaningful. In the 2022 awards, the following nine offices were rated in the top 20: Caremark (Chiltern & Three Rivers) Caremark (East Hertfordshire & Broxbourne) Caremark (Harrow) Caremark (Kirklees) Caremark (Liverpool) Caremark (Plymouth) Caremark (Redcar & Cleveland) Caremark (Richmond & Twickenham) Caremark (Welwyn and Hatfield) With the results coming down to decimal points there were some franchisees who, despite receiving a score of 9.9, didn’t quite make the list but they should be very proud of what they have achieved. We are positive that over the next twelve months this hard work will continue and we look forward to seeing the results next year.
Those businesses across the network who have grown their business and shown innovation and forward thinking are recognised with our regional and national awards. Regional awards were won by Caremark Maidstone, Southampton, Wandsworth, Dacorum & St Albans, Worcester & Malvern Hills, Cambridge & South Cambridgeshire, North Downs, Ards & Belfast. National awards were won by Caremark Worcester & Malvern Hills, Ealing, Broxtowe & Erewash, Elmbridge, Thanet and North Downs, Ards & Belfast. Joint CEO David Glover said: “It is very important to recognise the unbelievable work done by our franchisees and their brilliant teams. My only regret is that we can’t award all our franchisees as, without exception, the work they do in their communities, especially during such challenging times, is truly outstanding.”
Together again! Franchisees rate Caremark’s 15th annual conference as top notch. After a challenging 12 months, the network were reunited at our annual conference for a packed agenda offering franchisees valuable & inspirational content from leading speakers across the business & care world. This year’s gathering was particularly poignant. It was the first conference & network gathering since Kevin Lewis, Caremark’s founder, had unexpectedly passed away last year.
15 new research studies, backed by government funding through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), will allow UK researchers to draw together their expertise from analysing long COVID among those suffering long-term effects. The latest research shows that although many people make a full recovery following COVID-19, a significant proportion continue to experience chronic symptoms for months. These studies aim to help those affected return to their normal lives.
With hundreds of entries across every sector, we are delighted to be placed 15th in the Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100). Franchises are ranked based on their financial performance, network size, contribution to the community & support offered to their franchisees. Mark Thompson, Caremark Director of Franchise Recruitment “It is an honour to have maintained our Top 15 status, within the prestigious HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 Award Winners for 2022.
