My stepfather is a difficult person to live with. On a couple of occasions he dismissed the carer without any reason. Luckily Veritas quickly found us someone new. They were so patient with us, especially with my stepfather. Every time they provided us with yet another great carer. Great company.

I wish we had found them before. Reasonable priced 24hr care for my alzheimer's suffering mother, where we get to choose the carer we want. Previous experiences where we used the normal agency's which charge a highly inflated price, twice the amount the carer gets paid and then dump carers on my mother who have been very unsuitable in the past and then aren't willing to move them. It's been working out really well for us and have found 2 lovely carers.

Best live-in care company [from Trustpilot.com]

Best live-in care company Veritas assisted my 89 years Dad following a stroke. Thanks to the carers from Veritas he could remain in his own home. That was a relief for him, considering what kind of a homebird he was. Veritas stayed in touch and we had a brilliant communication with their customer relations managers. The carer they provided us with was a young energetic lady, who was perfect for my Dad. The price they offered were fairly reasonable.
