I'm not sure insurance is relevant here.
If the care home failed to supply you with a reasonably safe working environment (including training on procedures) then they are liable to you regardless of whether they have insurance or not.
If you failed to follow such procedures then that's likely to let them off the hook.
And there is of course a grey area in between.
