our care insurance
Why Ecclesiastical for care insurance?
Ecclesiastical offers insurance solutions to a wide range of care sector businesses and risks including care homes, nursing homes, private hospitals, supported living accommodation, and children’s homes.
Our cover is based on over 30 years’ experience of underwriting across the care sector so we truly understand the changing needs of brokers and customers within this market.
Before developing our care insurance policy, we consulted brokers and end-customers to ensure the result was a policy that both felt met their needs.
