What is personal support worker (PSW) insurance?

Personal support worker insurance is insurance designed specifically for personal support workers (or PSWs) – those who assist elderly, disabled and chronically ill individuals on a day-to-day basis. If you’re a PSW, and you’re looking for insurance, then you’ve come to the right place.

While working as a PSW isn’t dangerous in the traditional sense, you still face risks. For instance, you may accidentally damage your client’s (potentially expensive) possessions while helping them out or you might get accused of malpractice and sued for it. Even when you're not to blame, the legal costs could easily put you in a precarious financial situation. With insurance, however, you have financial protection and the peace of mind that comes with it.

It's possible that your employer already provides you with insurance, but it’s likely that the coverage is limited. If that’s the case, consider shopping for something a little more comprehensive, so that you're prepared for whatever might come your way.

How much does personal support worker (PSW) insurance cost?

It's nearly impossible to specify how much you might pay for PSW insurance because your premium will depend on a variety of factors, including your revenue, claims history and work experience. If you’re new to the field, then expect to pay more, since your inexperience makes you more of a risk. The longer you work and the fewer claims you make, the lower your premium will be down the road. Most single-person businesses shouldn’t pay more than $2,500 per year. We expect that a PSW – depending on their individual circumstances – would pay about $400 to $1,000 per year.

However, the best way to find out how much you will pay for insurance is by talking to either a broker or consulting a comparison website, like LowestRates.ca, where you can get quotes quickly and compare the market.
