At Verity Healthcare, we understand that the relationship between a carer and client is crucial. That’s why we take great care in matching our carers to clients based on a range of factors. We look at the level of care needed, specific health conditions, and personal preferences. For example, if you have a condition like dementia, we’ll match you with a carer who has specific training and experience in this area. We also consider personality traits and interests, as a positive relationship with a carer can greatly improve the overall experience. Our team takes the time to understand both the client’s and the carer’s needs to ensure compatibility. Once a match is made, we closely monitor the care relationship to make sure it’s working well and adjust it if needed.
