Senior Care Insurance
Senior care insurance covers assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care operators, where liability severity is tied to a resident population that can't self-report abuse. HUB brings deep, dedicated experience in senior care insurance, with advisors who understand this population's risk specifically, not as one line among many.

Problems that come with a vulnerable population
HUB's advisors work across assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care operators, where a single incident becomes a claim, a staffing question and a documentation problem all at once. Three conditions surface most often across this population.
Elder abuse and neglect are persistent, documented risks in long-term care. Even where care is appropriate, a facility without formal screening, training and reporting policies in place struggles to demonstrate that appropriateness once a claim is filed.
HUB's approach builds a formal elder abuse policy covering pre-admission and periodic resident risk screening, staff background checks and training, a reprisal-free reporting structure and documentation practices that support defensibility if a claim is filed.
Faring poorly in a claim usually has less to do with the quality of care provided than with whether that care can be proven.
Facilities with a documented, formal abuse-prevention policy defend claims more effectively and, over time, reduce the incidents the policy was built to prevent in the first place.
Claims involving harm to vulnerable residents carry disproportionate severity compared to standard general liability exposure. A single incident can produce a claim far larger than its scale would suggest, reflecting the heightened duty of care owed to a population that cannot always advocate for itself.
HUB's approach structures liability coverage for severity rather than frequency alone, reviews claims history to separate high-severity vulnerable-resident incidents from routine general liability claims and applies risk management support that reduces the underlying incidents driving that severity.
A senior care operator with a clean claims count can still be carrying more severity risk than a facility with more frequent, smaller claims elsewhere.
Operators that structure coverage around severity, not just frequency, and invest in reducing vulnerable-resident incidents directly protect against the outsized claims this population can generate.
Staffing ratios in senior care directly affect both resident safety and workers' compensation exposure. Thin staffing increases abuse and neglect risk while also increasing staff injury from resident lifting and repositioning, meaning a single staffing decision compounds risk on two fronts simultaneously.
HUB's approach ties staffing-ratio benchmarking directly to liability and workers' compensation experience, provides safe resident-handling training and equipment that reduces staff injury and treats staffing levels as a risk decision, not only a cost decision.
Cutting staff to save on payroll often just moves the cost to claims. It rarely disappears; it just shows up somewhere less visible.
Operators that benchmark staffing against both liability and workers' compensation experience — not payroll cost alone — reduce risk on both fronts instead of trading one exposure for another.

How HUB protects a population that can't self-advocate
Standard liability coverage prices frequency. Senior care needs coverage structured for severity, backed by prevention and staffing practices that reduce incidents before they become claims. HUB coordinates abuse-prevention policy, severity-based coverage and staffing-ratio risk as one connected program.
Elder abuse and neglect claims rarely turn on whether care was appropriate — they turn on whether a facility can prove it. HUB builds a formal elder abuse policy covering pre-admission and periodic resident risk screening, staff background checks and training and a reprisal-free reporting structure that gives staff a safe way to flag concerns before they escalate. Documentation practices are built into this policy from the start, so a facility isn't assembling proof after a claim is filed — it already has the record a claims defence depends on. Environmental security measures round out the policy, addressing the physical conditions that contribute to abuse and neglect risk alongside the human and procedural ones. For an operator without a formal policy in place today, this is often the single highest-leverage improvement to make first.
A senior care operator's claims count can look clean while its severity risk quietly climbs, since a single incident involving a resident who couldn't self-advocate can produce a claim far larger than its scale would suggest. HUB structures liability coverage around severity rather than frequency alone, reflecting the heightened duty of care this population is owed rather than treating every general liability claim as interchangeable. A claims-history review separates high-severity vulnerable-resident incidents from routine claims, giving underwriters a clearer picture of where an operator's actual risk concentrates. Risk management support then addresses the incidents driving that severity directly, connecting this coverage structuring to the same prevention work built into the elder abuse policy above. For an operator whose claims count looks reassuring, this severity-specific review is often what reveals the risk frequency alone doesn't show.
Staffing decisions in senior care rarely stay contained to the payroll line they're made on, since thin staffing increases both resident-safety incidents and staff injury from resident lifting and repositioning at the same time. HUB ties staffing-ratio benchmarking directly to an operator's liability and workers' compensation experience, rather than evaluating staffing purely as a cost lever disconnected from its risk consequences. Safe resident-handling training and equipment address the staff-injury side of this equation directly, reducing the physical strain that drives workers' compensation claims. For an operator weighing a staffing reduction to manage costs, this benchmarking shows where that reduction lands — on liability, on workers' compensation, or on both at once — before the decision is made rather than after a claim reveals it.
