Domiciliary Care Insurance and Homecare Insurance
Running a domiciliary care business means looking after people where they feel safest — in their own homes. With that responsibility comes a need for the right protection. At Cascade Insurance Services, we help care providers safeguard their clients, employees, and business operations with insurance that’s built around the realities of delivering care in the community.
Care Agency Insurance
Owning and managing a care agency means supplying trusted staff to other people’s homes and organisations, across multiple locations and settings. With that comes risks around staffing, contracts, and clinical responsibilities. We help care agencies protect their workforce, manage complex placements, and safeguard their business with insurance shaped around the realities of providing care staff to others.
Care Home and Nursing Home Insurance
Providing 24/7 care in a residential home means being responsible for residents every minute of every day, under one roof, often with complex medical, safeguarding, and regulatory demands. That brings risks ranging from medication errors and falls to property damage, staff injury, and regulatory action. We help care and nursing homes protect residents, staff, and the business itself with insurance designed around the realities of delivering round the clock care in a regulated environment.
Support for Care Businesses Under Pressure
We have experience with care providers who have been told they require improvement by the CQC and have been declined by their current insurers. You will still need insurance to operate and turn your business around; we provide the specialist knowledge to approach the insurers that are more likely to offer cover. We will persist with difficult cases where other brokers might have told you “we can’t do that”, by liaising with care businesses, talking to the right insurers and presenting the risks properly.
High Risk Care Support
Providing care to high risk groups, such as ex offenders and people in drug and alcohol rehabilitation, can bring additional layers of risk. Insurance cover may need to reflect complex support plans, a higher potential for incidents, and stringent contractual requirements from other parties. We understand how these services operate day to day, and can arrange carefully structured cover that considers risk assessments, staff training, lone working, safeguarding, and premises security, so you can focus on delivering safe care and support, confident that your business is fully protected.
Specialist Insurance for Care Professionals
If you are running a care business or taking the first steps to building a new business, you need to choose suppliers who you can trust to support you.
From years of first-hand care experience, I understand the many challenges you face in managing your care business.
CQC demands, clients with complex health needs, and high-risk clinical tasks all make having the right business insurance cover a necessity. To be confident in your level of cover, your insurer needs to understand the complexities of your business.
Care providers continue to work with us because we look for the risks others often miss. PEG feeding, high-dependency clients, and local authority contract requirements are just some of the complex topics that need to be considered when you are reviewing your business insurance, and you need to know how much information to provide to your insurer.
To ensure your cover is adequate, we will ask you the questions that insurers actually need to know, collating the essential information, and then take the time to explain any complex policy details clearly for you.

Why Care Businesses Need Insurance
-
Protect the people you support
Accidents can happen during day‑to‑day care. Insurance provides financial protection if a client or employee is injured or if property is accidentally damaged. This can include legal fees, medical costs, and compensation — giving you peace of mind.
-
Professional indemnity for peace of mind
Your clients rely on your expertise. Professional indemnity insurance protects you against claims of mistakes, errors or alleged negligence that cause harm or financial loss. It helps defend your reputation and ensures fair outcomes for clients.
-
Support your staff
If you employ anyone, employer’s liability insurance is a legal requirement in the UK. It covers you if an employee suffers a work‑related injury or illness and helps with compensation and legal costs.
-
Protect your equipment and assets
Whether it’s care equipment, IT devices or your office contents, insurance helps cover theft, damage, loss or events such as fire or vandalism — so your business can get back up and running quickly.
-
Stay resilient during disruption
If a major event like a fire or flood stops your operations, business interruption insurance can help replace lost income and cover ongoing costs such as rent, salaries and utilities while you get back on track.
-
Meet regulatory expectations
Having the right cover in place is often a legal or contractual requirement for UK care providers. It shows professionalism, compliance and a commitment to high‑quality care.

I recently contacted Cascade Insurance for some additional business insurance. Their response was not only swift, but the quotation I received was very competitive. Needless to say, they secured my business and I will be using them again in the future as my other insurances come due for renewal. Thank you Cascade. ATTENTION - I have just renewed using Cascade Insurance for a second year. Absolutely brilliant service and the quote was only £20 more than last year. Excellent service and I will stick with Cascade 🙂

I had Julie sorting my public liability insurance for few years now, she is so professional and quick to remind me when the insurance is coming up for renewal. The insurance comes up to less then I paid for the first year when my income was much smaller then is now. Also it gives me peace of mind knowing that I am covered if things happen. I would strongly recommend Cascade Insurance to everybody who needs insurance.
Have used Cascade for a few years now, very pleased with the service and how they have proactively searched for value as well as negotiated with our existing insurer.
Cascade arranged the insurance for Channel Radio and not only understood the needs of the business but went the extra mile to give us confidence that our insurance is properly arranged – Fantastic!
Always helpful. Friendly and professional service that I would definitely recommend to others.
I have worked with Julie and Cascade Insurance for over a year now and having worked with other brokers in the past I can say cascade has been the best. Julie quick grasped my business and asked me questions other brokers hadn’t. This meant that we found several areas for improvement. The main reason I have found for working with a broker is to have someone who can answer questions about policies (and find good coverage) but over the last year as odd questions have come up cascade have been able to give almost instant replies even when there have been unusual circumstances. I would certainly recommend cascade insurance to other people.
Cascade Insurance are diamonds. They're always available whenever I have last minute needs and they have fantastic customer service. They answer the phone QUICKLY. On the one occasion they just weren't able to help me I had a call from a contact at an adjacent firm within a couple of hours. Fantastic service
Since setting up my business in 2020, I've used Cascade for all business insurances I have. Very efficient service for reasonable market standard rates

Amazing service. Julie was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire process efficient and easy and saved me money on my renewal quote. Many thanks
John was super helpful even thought he wasn’t able to assist us with our insurance. Many thanks
