To provide appropriate cover, insurers must understand exactly how a home is operating at the point of renewal. Insurers request this information because care homes are complex environments that change over time. To provide appropriate cover insurers must understand exactly how a home is operating at the point of renewal.
Details such as occupancy levels, type of care provided, staffing arrangements predicted turnover and claims all influence how the policy is structured. Even small changes can affect how insurers assess exposure. A home that has added beds or adjusted service user profile may present a different insurance risk from the previous year.
Renewal questions help insurers ensure that the policy still matches the reality of the care home rather than relying on outdated information.

Care homes naturally evolve. Rooms may be reconfigured, services expanded, staffing models adjusted or occupancy patterns changed. Insurers rely on accurate disclosure to ensure cover remains valid throughout the policy period.
If information provided at renewal is incomplete or incorrect this can create problems later. Policies are written based on the facts disclosed and if a claim were to occur the insurers may look reduce the claims amount paid or even void the policy if the reality does not match what was declared.
Disclosure is not about creating barriers. It allows insurers to provide cover that genuinely reflects the way your business operates on a day to day basis and ensure that when a claim occurs you are covered correctly.
Renewal questions also reflect wider changes within the insurance market and the regulatory landscape. Insurers are required to demonstrate that they fully understand the risks they insure.
Care homes are regulated environments with ongoing scrutiny. Insurers must show that policies are priced and structured appropriately based on accurate information. This is why renewal processes have become more detailed over time.
Clear communication helps insurers continue supporting the care sector sustainably.
