Start with how the business operates
Assisted living facility insurance should connect resident care and supervision with professional liability, premises safety, staffing, property, vehicles, cyber risk, regulatory responsibilities, and the need to operate without interruption.
Industry risks to discuss
- Resident injury, care, supervision, medication, and professional liability allegations
- Employee injury, employment practices, abuse or molestation allegations, and staffing pressures
- Fire, severe weather, water damage, cyber incidents, transportation, and operational interruption
Coverage priorities
- Professional and general liability with appropriate resident-care provisions
- Property, business income, equipment breakdown, cyber, crime, and commercial auto
- Workers' compensation, EPLI, D&O, umbrella or excess, and abuse or molestation coverage where available
Build Risk Controls Around the Operation
- Prioritize controls for severe losses as well as frequent incidents
- Assign responsibility for inspections, training, maintenance, and corrective action
- Keep written procedures and records that demonstrate controls are active
- Revisit controls when locations, equipment, staffing, or services change
