What is domiciliary care insurance?

Domiciliary care insurance is a specialist policy that protects businesses providing personal care, medication support and daily living assistance to clients in their own homes. It typically includes public liability, employers liability and professional indemnity.

Caring for people in their homes creates unique liability risks. If a carer accidentally injures a client, damages their property, or makes a medication error, the right insurance covers the resulting claim.

Find cover options from specialist insurers who cover home care providers, ensuring your policy reflects the type of care you deliver and the number of clients you support.
