For Nawal and Ruth, care isn’t just a job, it’s creating moments that matter. 💙

Recently, our incredible carers from Caremark West Berkshire, Reading and South Oxfordshire spent a beautiful day with one of our customers - enjoying the park, watching boats drift by, and sharing plenty of smiles along the way.

At Caremark, we’re proud to support people of all ages, including younger individuals, helping them live full, independent, and joyful lives. For Nawal and Ruth, it’s these little moments, laughter, connection, and care, that make the biggest difference.

Every day, our carers bring dignity, compassion, and joy into the lives of the people they support.

November brings a slower pace. The evenings draw in, the air turns colder, and everything feels a little more still.🍂

But care doesn’t stop. A visit, a chat, a bit of help with the evening routine, it’s the kind of support that makes a real difference, especially when the days feel long.

Our Care Assistants show up with warmth, consistency, and kindness. That’s what real care looks like.
