Why is business insurance for care agencies so specialised? Care agencies cover a wide range of domicilliary services, which typically includes arranging for carers or nurses to visit their patients in their own home, offering domicilliary or home-based patient care.
This care in the home will often be for more elderly people but also the disabled and young people who require help with daily activities.
Care agencies offering these types of domicilliary services may require increased cover for personal contact with their clients, as well as administration of medicines and drugs, so a degree of medical malpractice insurance cover is also required.
Carers entering clients' homes will typically require CRB background checks and appropriate levels of insurance cover provided through their care agency.
