Caremark Kevin Lewis

Start Your Journey with a Top Home Care Franchise

Caremark’s ascent in the home care landscape is a story of innovation, resilience, and leadership.

Our foundations were laid by Kevin Lewis, Caremark Founder, with the promise of exceptional care and a vision that continues to propel us forward.

Today, Caremark boasts one of the largest networks of home care franchises, delivering care to thousands across the UK. We pride ourselves on creating a strong community of franchise owners who run successful and rewarding businesses, embodying the highest standards of care and operational excellence.

The Care Revolution

In the early 90s, the ‘care revolution’ took place – local authorities stopped being sole suppliers of care and instead enabled private companies to step in as providers.

Kevin’s business was thriving and respected, so social services invited him to branch out into the provision of home care – also known as domiciliary care. This venture flourished, and the business soon became a key provider in the area.

Kevin soon recognised that franchising was the best way of providing exceptional care services throughout the country. He then developed a detailed and highly specialised care service methodology, incorporating a robust set of policies and procedures.

Caremark II
From opening a large Care home in Brighton and Hove to his first domiciliary care centre, Kevin shared how he got into the care industry and how it made him feel.

Learn just what Kevin’s belief was on the evolution of home care and how the growing local authority market has enabled domiciliary care to be such a lucrative and successful venture.
