Why this coverage matters for assisted living facilities
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. General liability can respond to common allegations involving bodily injury, property damage, products, completed work, and personal or advertising injury, subject to the policy.
