Ensuring the highest standard of care is at the heart of everything we do at Verity Healthcare. We are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Inspectorate Wales, which means our services are subject to regular inspections and must meet strict care quality standards. But we don’t stop there. Our team conducts continuous monitoring and feedback loops, meaning we consistently assess and improve the care we provide. We also ensure that all carers participate in regular training and development to stay up-to-date with best practices in care. Additionally, we take feedback seriously – from both clients and families – to ensure that every care plan is working effectively and that you’re satisfied with the support you’re receiving.
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.
