As the Baby Boomer population continues to age, more people are moving to senior care communities like assisted living facilities and nursing homes. If you own or operate one of these facilities, the care and comfort of your residents is certainly your top priority. You understand that the residents and their family members put their trust in your staff to attend to their needs, and you do everything possible to meet their expectations.
Being responsible for assisted living facilities is a big responsibility. Preparing meals, monitoring health, supervising medication, offering help with daily living and more are all things that long-term care facilities are responsible for. With so many important duties, accidents or incidents are bound to happen. “Assisted living claims are paying out more than skilled nursing claims, on average,” according to McKnight’s Senior Living.
Because of the significant risk that senior housing facilities face, carrying an adequate amount of liability insurance coverage is essential. Insurance for assisted living facilities from XINSURANCE offers a cost-effective risk mitigation solution to protect your business assets and give you peace of mind.
Assisted living facility insurance is your business’s best defense against lawsuits and other liability claims. Your plan will provide compensation to third parties — typically residents of your facility or their families — due to covered accidents or injuries resulting from the negligent acts of your employees. In addition, it will help pay for your legal defense if a case against your facility goes to court. You can also attain coverage for your property and other areas of your operation.
