Frequently asked questions
Does memory care require different underwriting information?
Often yes. Resident acuity, secured-unit controls, staffing, training, elopement, behavior, medication, and incident history can materially affect the review.
Is abuse or molestation coverage automatic?
No. It may be excluded, limited, separately endorsed, or unavailable. Definitions, limits, defense, reporting, and control requirements should be examined.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
