Managing direct payments can give you greater control over your care, but it also comes with important responsibilities—especially when employing personal assistants. At Verity Healthcare, we provide a comprehensive Direct Payment Payroll Service designed to remove the stress, reduce administrative burden, and ensure full compliance with UK employment and tax regulations.
Whether you are new to direct payments or already managing a care team, our dedicated payroll specialists are here to support you every step of the way.

What is PEG gastrostomy care?
Short explanatory section for visitors who may be unfamiliar with PEG feeding.
PEG stands for Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy.
A PEG tube provides direct access to the stomach for prescribed nutrition, fluids and, where clinically authorised, medication. It may be used when eating or drinking by mouth is unsafe or insufficient.
Verity Healthcare can support day-to-day PEG care at home in line with the person’s care plan, clinical instructions and assessed needs.
Our approach
Every package starts with an individual assessment before PEG support begins.
Feeding regime
Bolus, continuous or pump-assisted support as prescribed.
Hydration
Prescribed water flushes and fluid support.
Tube care
Routine cleaning, observation, connection and flushing.
Skin & stoma
Hygiene, observation and prompt escalation of concerns.
Medication
Support only where authorised and within staff competence.
Daily living
PEG care combined with personal care and everyday routines.
