In September 2017 The Care Quality Commission (CQC) re-registered the provider at a new location address. There has not been any change in ownership of Verina Daly Care Limited just an adjustment to the location address. As there has not been any change of ownership or leadership this report makes reference to how under the previous provider the service was not meeting a number of the fundamental standards and was in breach of three Regulations. This inspection checked to see whether those required improvements had been made.
• Verina Daly Care Limited is a domiciliary care provider and also provides a live-in care service. At the time of this inspection 29 people received personal care support from the service. The service supported older people, some of who were living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, within their own homes.
• Not everyone using the service received a regulated activity; CQC only inspects the service being received by people provided with ‘personal care’; help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also take into account any wider social care provided.
