Veracity Healthcare

Veracity Healthcare is a home care agency based in Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Beverley office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, sleeping nights, waking nights and 24-hour care. The agency has been registered since December 2019.

At its latest inspection, published May 2022, the CQC rated Veracity Healthcare Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
