What can Care Home insurance cover?

Liability Cover Public liability insurance. Protects your organisation from the financial impact of compensation claims made by residents, members of the public, or other third parties, for example for injury or damage to their property.

​

Employers’ liability insurance Provides cover for work-related illness claims (including psychological), injury, or property damage claims made by employees. In most cases, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement.

​

Medical Cover Protects your organisation financially if a resident makes a liability claim after suffering an injury or adverse reaction due to a treatment you administer.

​

Medical malpractice cover Cover for your organisation if it becomes the subject of a compensation claim due to malpractice or unintentional injury.

​

Buildings & Contents Buildings insurance. If you own your building, this cover helps protect you against repair or reinstatement costs due to insured incidents such as fire, flood, storm damage, or acts of vandalism.

​

Care home contents insurance This cover is designed to cover the cost of replacing contents belonging to the care home that are lost or damaged because of an insured event.

​

Residents’ personal belongings Contents insurance for care home residents can also form part of your policy, helping to protect your business as well as being a benefit for your residents.

 

Professional Indemnity Should a resident or their family file a claim against your organization due to alleged negligence, such as inadequate care or service, professional indemnity insurance can help cover the associated costs.

 

Abuse and Molestation Cover Unfortunately, abuse claims are one of the risks that care providers can face. If a member of staff is subject to a claim of abuse or molestation, this insurance can provide financial protection for the organisation.​

 

The Benefits of Appropriate Care Home Insurance Securing adequate insurance for your care home is essential to safeguard against various risks and to comply with the standards set by relevant regulatory. These organizations include the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Ofsted (England), the Care Inspectorate Wales, the Education and Training Inspectorate (Northern Ireland), and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Education (Scotland).
Additionally, employers’ liability insurance is a legal necessity for care homes, unless all your employees—including volunteers and those on work experience—are immediate family members.
