Virginia Home Care Insurance Requirements
Understanding what insurance Virginia requires for home care agencies:
State Licensing Requirements
For licensed home care organizations in the state, your Virginia home care insurance must meet specific benchmarks set by the Virginia Department of Health. General liability insurance is a core component of Virginia home care insurance, with state licensing requiring proof of coverage for both business premises and operations.

Maintaining continuous Virginia home care insurance is vital to avoid administrative penalties or the suspension of your operating license.
