Customer Reviews

Charlotte has handled our insurance renewals for nine years now.  As a new Charity taking over a Community Library in 2015, it was scary navigating through compliance matter such as insurance.  Charlotte steered and helped us through in those early days and has been with us ever since.  She is always available; always responds in a timely manner and we never feel any question or query is silly.  She is a reassuring presence in our Operation.  We feel she goes the extra mile to understand our ever increasing financial and regulatory pressures of an entirely volunteer led Charity.

Friends of Wandon Recreation Park found representatives of Ladbrook Insurance to be very professional, but at the same time extremely helpful and took time in understanding what our insurance needs were and the best policy for us. We would highly recommend Ladbroke Insurance.

What a delight to work with Tim and his team. Totally professional, they responded rapidly to an urgent insurance requirement for our club after our previous insurers let us down badly. Tim took a real interest in what we do and came up with an ideal policy at a great price in record time. Thank you!

Insurance for Care Home Facilities

Ladbrook can advise and help source insurance for a range of care facilities including  residential homes, retirement homes, childrens’ homes, hospices, care homes, rest homes and nursing homes for the elderly.

We are an independent broker and work with a number of specialists in the charity and care sector such as Ansvar / Ecclesiastical, Markel and CaSE.  We offer expert advice and a personal as part of our care home insurance proposition.

We will analyse your requirements including buildings insurance and any assets and contents that you own.  We will look at your liabilities regarding trustees, directors, staff, management, volunteers, patients, service users and the general public.

An importtant part of care home insurance is understanding the degree to which any medical care is exercised.  We will discuss this with you and the need for care home medical malpractice cover.

Sometimes our care home insurance customers seek support on a range of risk management issues.  This can range from simple advice to helping to organise full risk management support.  Some insurers, such as Markel, offer consultancy as part of their insurance package too and so we can discuss your needs and options for support.

One area we will offer advice in is your disaster recovery planning and how this relates to your care home business interruption provisions.  We can discuss the appropriate insurance for your care home in the event that your site becomes unusable.

 

Professional risks are also an area where we can provide advice.  Some local authorities might contractually insist on this cover and it is sensible protection for a large number of care facilities.  We will discuss your care home professional indemnity insurance cover and whether it meets your organisational needs.

Essentially, Ladbrook will provide independent advice for your care home and make sure your cover meets the requirements of the Care Quality Commission.
