I highly recommend Verina Daly Care! I approached the company 16 months ago to look after my son's package of care, he has complex health needs, respiratory needs and has NIV (non-invasive ventilation) and oxygen therapy.
They were very quick at getting a great team into the package, full and continual
training given. Superbly managed package, absences and holidays covered seamlessly, hugely reliable company, which is invaluable to our lives. The managing director/owner is extremely approachable and always has time to listen and she reflects this to her staff too. Carers are dedicated, proactive and have so much compassion towards my son and are happy in their role. They are a great asset to his life, they take him out daily from visiting Goodwood, Polo at Cowdry, concerts, afternoon matinees, cricket etc which is a challenge as all his medical equipment is in situ. Office team are very friendly, and always at the end of the phone if needed. Thank you VDC for everything!

Verina Daly Care have provided wonderful carers for my mother until she passed away and recently to my father. They have provided an exemplary service in their professionalism, compassionate and supportive role to them both and to me, their daughter. We will always be grateful to all at VDC, a very
big thank you!

Thank you so much, we will miss you here at the office and I will miss my visits with your dad and his wonderful humour and being a wonderful host with a bottle of wine always on offer.

A group of us stayed for a week in disabled-adapted holiday accommodation in order to give our friend a holiday from her nursing home. She is severely disabled due to multiple sclerosis. The Carers came each morning and evening and they all brilliantly adapted to a new client. They were friendly, patient,
well-trained and cheerful. Our friend rated them very highly (as did we). They made a huge contribution to making the holiday possible and we one hundred percent recommend them.

Verina Daly Care is a care provider with a difference - the entire team displayed warmth, compassion and empathy matched with incredible professionalism and a true desire to make a difference. The manager became our trusted guide through such a difficult time - she gave us such honest and supportive
advice on the best way forward. I do not know how we would have gotten through the last days of my father's life without her and her team. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much to the manager and your team.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for the service provided by Verina Daly Care during the last few months of my mother's life. The love and care that the wonderful carers showed helped her pass on peacefully and in her own home. Not only did the carers help Mum but us daughters were supported so
well by them. Thank you so much all of you, our mum loved you.

Verina Daly Care proved to be fantastic. From the managing director herself downwards, every single one of the team was wonderful and displayed a rare combination of professionalism and genuine compassion for my mother in her final weeks and days. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

The care which Verina Daly has been providing for my wife has been excellent. Verina personally met us for the initial discussion of our needs, and we were then assigned a senior carer who has worked with three other carers to provide the desired support. The carers have all been friendly, helpful,
and have gone beyond what we expected of them.
The management team have also been great and are very accommodating of requested changes to the schedule. We always know which carer is coming and when (thanks to an online calendar), and so far there have been no mistakes.
We would definitely recommend Verina Daly to others.

We are pleased with Verina Daly. Excellent service and so much better than the previous care company. All the staff are professional, empathetic, caring, punctual, and always wearing PPE. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

Verina's team cared for Dad for 18th months up to his death in July. The last 3 months, during the Covid-19 situation, were tough. However Mum and I decided he should stay at home and we increased the care to three visits a day. Towards the end, I was present for most of the visits, which can't have
been fun for the carers.....but every single visit was carried out with kindness, compassion and humour (when appropriate!). They also always took the time to check on Mum even though they were there to look after Dad. Their experience reassured us when we knew the end was coming. When we look back on those last few weeks, we know that he couldn't have been better looked after...and I know Mum misses those cheery 'Hellos' when they turned up.

Verina Daly Care is an excellent care company who have been looking after my wife for approximately 18 months and I have nothing but admiration for the care team who provide an excellent and totally reliable service. The firm is small enough to be able to provide a personal service and large enough
to be up to date with the latest equipment. Really pleased we found them.

Members of Verina Daly Care Ltd have been caring for my husband for well over a year. He suffers from PSP, a progressive illness. Every carer shows consideration, kindness, understanding and empathy, not only to my husband but to me and the extended family. The care is suitable to the condition and
the carers forsee necessary developments and changes. The staff are presentable and follow strict hygiene rules. Only once have I had to make an informal complaint, which was immediately, satisfactorily settled.

The care provided by the managing director and her team over the past months has been quite exceptional.
It is obvious that all the carers enjoy working for the company, have respect for the management and work well as a team.
Individually, the carers are enthusiastic, friendly and truly caring and
come to the house now as true friends.
Their primary role is obviously in caring for my wife, who has challenging end of life conditions, but the support they have offered me have been transformational in this very difficult time.
Their role is increasingly essential during the Coronavirus outbreak and we can only hope, when we return to normality, that their true value to society is appreciated in a way it has not been hitherto.

Always cheerful and positive. Could be better at bed making. Sometimes the bathroom needs better clean-up after use.

We started with Verina Daly Care through a personal recommendation and this was a very positive way for my father to commence a daily package of personal care. The introductory meeting was very helpful and reassuring and the responsiveness of the company to text and email contact has been excellent
throughout. A regular carer is a high priority for my father and generally, this has happened. The carer has a strong working relationship with my father and this gives us all confidence and also allows small changes to be monitored effectively. In an otherwise excellent service, the one problem has been the recently introduced care line system. Despite frequent intervention by senior staff at Verina Daly Care there appears to be an access problem. When sorted, I’m sure it will be very useful.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Verina Daly Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Verina Daly Care Ltd is based on 4 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 = 4.25

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
