Verano Care Services delivers specialist domiciliary care and mental health support across London, Kent, Nottingham and Newcastle — person-centred, clinically excellent, and genuinely human.
We provide two CQC-registered services — personal domiciliary care and clinical mental health support — delivered in people's own homes and supported living settings across four regions.
Compassionate support with all personal care needs — washing, dressing, medication management, nutrition, continence care, and daily living activities. Delivered in your home, on your terms.
Specialist clinical mental health support in the community — for adults with diagnosed mental health conditions, Section 117 aftercare, NHS CHC placements, and dual diagnosis needs.
Care delivered into supported living properties — enabling residents to maintain tenancy and independence whilst receiving the clinical and personal care support they need to thrive.
Specialist Section 117 aftercare support for adults discharged from detention under the Mental Health Act — jointly funded by NHS and Local Authority, delivered in the community.
Domiciliary care and mental health support for individuals meeting NHS CHC eligibility — fully funded, clinically supervised, and delivered to the highest standard.
All our care is built around recovery — measurable outcomes, independence goals, and a belief that every person we support has the capacity to flourish with the right care around them.
