A standard business policy won&rsquo;t do the trick. Many providers offer specialist insurance that&rsquo;s tailored to meet the needs of a care home business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When choosing a care home insurance policy, check it protects against the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Public liability &ndash; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">this will cover you in the event that a member of the public is injured whilst on your business premises. It is not a legal requirement but certainly a good idea<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Employers liability &ndash; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">this is legally required even if you only have one employee and will cover you in the event one of your employees is injured or becomes ill whilst working for you. You must have at least &pound;5m worth of cover<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Building &ndash; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">this will cover the cost of repairing damage or rebuilding your main building or any outbuildings. Just make sure your policy covers the actual value of the building<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Contents &ndash; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a care home insurance policy can protect the equipment and items belonging to your business from theft or damage. Residents&rsquo; and employees&rsquo; belongings can also be covered on this policy though very high value items may have to be insured separately<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Business interruption &ndash; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">this will cover you for any loss of income suffered if disaster prevents or changes the normal running of your business<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Medical malpractice &ndash;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">as your residents will rely on medication and other treatments, this will cover you if your staff do anything wrong such as administer the wrong dosage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most policies will include public liability cover of &pound;5m as standard but, should you need it, many will include limits up to &pound;10m. Assess your individual needs to determine whether you need a higher value of cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The above is not an exhaustive list of the cover you could get as a care home owner but will protect you in the event of most scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Once you&rsquo;ve made sure you&rsquo;re complying with the necessary regulations it&rsquo;s time to start thinking about marketing your care home.
