Minibus insurance
If you operate a minibus to transport residents, Towergate Patrick can provide minibus insurance to suit almost any care home, nursing home or day centre, providing that drivers have the appropriate UK licence and the vehicle has between seven and 17 seats.

Bespoke Legal Expenses insurance
Legal expenses insurance provides cover for the costs of solicitors, barristers, expert witnesses and court proceedings, in the event of a legal dispute.

How do we do it differently?
• Dedicated advice team specialising in care
• Legal advice only from qualified solicitors and barristers
• Claims team all qualified with a Law Degree as a minimum

Online Care- Specific HR Management tool- CybHR
As part of the legal expenses cover you will receive, at no extra cost, CybHR, an online care-specific HR management tool.

CybHR will help protect you from the risk of potentially lengthy and costly litigation by giving you access to all the latest information, with proactive updates on best practice guidelines, legislation and case precedents.

Claims Assist:
When disaster strikes, a quick and effective response can be vital to keep a care home in business; large losses call for hands-on assistance. Every year businesses witness devastating losses caused by flood, fire and malicious acts. These claims can be complex and our claims service, included as standard in our Care Concept policy, provides a chartered loss adjuster to work with you. This ensures that the entire process is handled quickly, fairly and without unnecessary stress.

Additional Services Available:
In addition to offering bespoke care insurance packages, we have added new products and service to enable you to run your business more effectively and compliantly.

Expert Risk Management Service- Insurance and risk management should go hand-in-hand- whilst a correctly arranged insurance programme will transfer certain financial exposures for the business, it does not deal with the tangible risks that need to be managed or removed to achieve an efficient, profitable and compliant business.

To help you run a compliant and efficient business, reduce injury claims and employment tribunals, help to defend against claims, and long-term cost saving and peace of mind.

Expert Valuation Service- Towergate Patrick has teamed up with leading valuation surveyor, Gleeds Durden, to provide a professional valuation service at a discounted rate. The service is designed to provide complete confidence in your building sums insured and guard against the impact of under-insurance in the event of a loss.

To avoid under-insurance penalties in the event of a claim, to reduce interruption to your business by accelerating the claims payment process and valuations are undertaken by experienced chartered surveyors.

We believe in offering our customers a breadth of service which, in itself, makes us invaluable advisors to both you and your business.
