What does liability insurance for home health aides cover?

Home health aides face unique risks when providing care in clients’ homes. Insurance protection often includes: 

  • Professional liability – coverage for claims of negligence, errors in care, or failure to provide expected services 
  • General liability – protection if a client or visitor experiences injury or property damage during your work 
  • Cyber liability – safeguards sensitive client health information and records from breaches or data loss 

Together, these coverages protect both your caregiving role and the business side of your work.
