ProAssurance – Specialty Medical Professional Liability Partner Supporting Senior-Care and Healthcare Organizations

Supporting Senior-Care Ecosystems Through Professional and General Liability Solutions for Senior Living and Long-Term Care

ProAssurance is a leading medical professional-liability insurer serving healthcare providers and organizations, with dedicated Senior Care programs for long-term care and senior-living facilities. Its Senior Care team offers primary and excess professional and general liability insurance on a claims-made basis, delivered through surplus-lines brokers nationwide. ProAssurance emphasizes tailored coverage, healthcare-specific risk management, and claims expertise in senior-care settings.

Who Is ProAssurance in Healthcare and Senior-Care Risk?

ProAssurance’s Senior Care offerings provide professional and general liability coverage for senior-living and long-term care facilities, including primary and excess layers. The Senior Care team understands every aspect of medical and facility liability—from underwriting to risk management to claims—and works with brokers and facilities to design coverage structures that reflect acuity, services, and regulatory environments. ProAssurance also offers small-business Senior Care coverage for smaller facilities offering lower-acuity services.

For senior-care ecosystems, ProAssurance is a core liability carrier focused specifically on clinical and operational risks in senior-care facilities, supporting both large systems and smaller providers.

Why Senior-Care Ecosystems Need ProAssurance

Senior-care ecosystems rely on ProAssurance when:

• Facilities require specialized professional and general liability coverage tailored to senior-living and long-term care operations.
• Organizations value carrier partners that bring healthcare-specific risk-management resources and a long-term partnership mindset.
• Brokers seek a dedicated Senior Care team with deep familiarity with senior-care litigation trends and regulatory challenges.

Standardized incident and claims data—covering resident falls, pressure injuries, medication errors, abuse allegations, and other key events—are crucial for ProAssurance’s underwriting, claims analysis, and risk-management planning.

Case Study

A regional long-term care group operates skilled-nursing and assisted-living communities across several states. Through its broker, it accesses ProAssurance’s Senior Care program for professional and general liability coverage. During renewal, ProAssurance requests detailed claims histories, incident logs, staffing ratios, and acuity metrics by facility to evaluate risk differentiation and refine program terms.

The group implements Caring Data to centralize and standardize incident reporting, capturing events such as falls, medication issues, elopements, and allegations of abuse or neglect. De-identified aggregate data is aligned with staffing and acuity metrics and shared with ProAssurance’s Senior Care underwriters and risk-management team. ProAssurance uses these structured datasets to identify high-risk facilities, adjust limits and deductibles, and recommend targeted interventions. The provider gains a clearer view of which factors drive losses and where to prioritize training and process changes.
