Supporting California Senior Care Communities with Property and Casualty Solutions
Some assisted living facilities and their carriers rely on The Hanover Insurance Group for property, casualty, and specialty coverage. Hanover writes commercial lines through independent agents, including coverage for senior‑care and healthcare‑related accounts.
For California‑based assisted living and long‑term care facilities, Hanover may provide primary property and liability coverage, or be part of a broader program structure, supported by claims leadership such as Executive Vice President and Chief Claims Officer David J. Lovely.
Who Is The Hanover Insurance Group?
The Hanover Insurance Group is a U.S. property‑casualty insurer headquartered in Worcester, Massachusetts. In 2023, Hanover appointed David J. Lovely as Executive Vice President and Chief Claims Officer, responsible for the company’s claims strategy and operations.
Hanover distributes its commercial products through independent agents and offers multiple lines, including commercial property, general liability, and specialized coverages.
Why California Assisted Living Facilities Need Hanover
California assisted living facilities may work with Hanover when:
Their independent agents place property, liability, or umbrella coverage with Hanover.

Industry Insight: The Real Cost of Staff Burden in Senior Care
Hanover’s commercial portfolios show that staff burden and documentation quality are major drivers of loss outcomes in senior‑care and healthcare accounts. Overworked staff and inconsistent documentation lead to more frequent incidents and less defensible claims, particularly in liability lines.
California assisted living facilities that invest in documentation and training help improve their claim performance and favorability with Hanover.
Case Story: When Documentation Failures Put Facilities on the Regulatory Radar
In slip‑and‑fall and professional‑liability claims, missing incident reports, incomplete witness statements, and absent corrective‑action documentation often result in higher settlements and extended litigation. Over time, these patterns may influence how carriers like Hanover view an account or segment.
Facilities that maintain strong documentation and engage with Hanover’s loss‑control guidance help mitigate these risks.
