Colonial General Insurance Agency, Inc. offers a competitive, flexible Long Term Care Facilities Insurance program tailored for independent living and assisted living facilities. With a widened underwriting appetite and reduced base rates, this program helps agents and brokers place more long-term care risks — including newer facilities and accounts with more complex exposures — using solutions designed for this niche.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is well-suited for:
- Assisted living facilities
- Independent living communities
- Small to medium-sized long-term care operations
Preferred accounts are those that emphasize resident safety, maintain clean loss histories, and demonstrate strong management and risk-control practices. Facilities with documented risk management programs and locations in favorable legal venues may qualify for favorable credits and broader terms.
Example: You might have a client operating a 40-unit assisted living facility in Utah with no major claims in the past five years — that profile typically fits well with this program given the updated coverages and lower base rates.
