What is Covered Under a Retirement Home Insurance Plan?

Coverage for buildings and contents in a facility are included in your insurance policy. Alleged dishonesty by employees is also included.

Protection for directors and officers in your business related to upholding their responsibilities.

Legal liability and defense costs are built into your businesses abuse policy and provide financial protection.

FAQs
There are a wide range of assisted living and senior homes in Canada. Your senior home premium will depend on many factors, including where the facility is located, the size of the facility, the number of staff and volunteers hired, revenue, and any prior claims.
As a business owner in a complex industry, your employees, volunteers, executives, and part-time and full-time staff should all be included under one policy. Always be cautious and ask your broker or insurer about the details of your policy, including who is insured and for what. Our brokers are savvy in the senior living insurance lingo and can walk you through an insurance policy for clarification.
No, independent and assisted-living home insurance is not mandatory for your business but highly recommended due to all the risks involved in running a home for seniors.
Most long-term care and assisted-living facilities do not have any (or have limited) protection specifically for infectious diseases. No facilities in Canada have a policy specifically for COVID-19. Thousands of deaths connected to COVID-19 happened in long-term care and assisted living facilities between 2020-2022, with lawsuits from patients and their families rising drastically during that time. As a result, premiums for care facilities skyrocketed, some as much as 35%. Consult with your insurance provider, or one of our brokers who specialize in senior living care insurance for further guidelines.
