What Coverages Do Senior Living Facilities Insurance Provide?
As mentioned, senior living facilities insurance policies usually come with multiple coverages. The exact list of coverages that are available can vary, but policies frequently offer protections like the following:
- Commercial Property Coverage, which may protect facility-owned buildings and equipment
- Boiler and Machinery Coverage, which may protect essential equipment in the event of a breakdown
- General Liability Coverage, which may protect against common accidents and certain lawsuits
- Professional Liability Coverage, which may protect against errors made by employees when providing care
- Excess Liability Coverage, which may increase the limit of an underlying liability protection
- Business Income Coverage, which may protect against sustained drops in revenue following a disaster
In addition to these, facilities might also want specific coverages for certain personnel within their organization. Some of the more common personnel-specific protections are:
- Directors and Officers Liability Coverage, which may protect leaders of an organization
- Coverage for Medical Directors, which may protect directors when acting in their administrative capacity
- Coverage for Beauticians and Barbers, which may protect non-medical professionals who are employees
There are still other coverages that policies often offer. An insurance agent who specializes in senior living facilities insurance can help facilities sort through the available options and select protections that are right for them.
Do Senior Living Facilities Insurance Policies Cover Evacuations?
Many senior living facilities policies will reimburse evacuation expenses if a facility must evacuate its residents. An agent can confirm whether a policy will cover these costs when reviewing the policy.
How Much Do Assisted Living Facilities Policies Cost?
Assisted living facilities policies’ premiums are based on many different factors and frequently vary as a result. Even with the variance and all the coverages they provide, however, these policies tend to be within what facilities can afford. The premiums are almost certainly more affordable than what facing a major claim could cost if no coverage is in place.
Facilities can find out how much a policy that provides the coverages they need would cost by contacting an independent insurance agent. An independent agent has the flexibility and freedom to request quotes from multiple insurance companies, which makes comparing rates for different policies easy.
