CCRC and life plan. The promise is the exposure.

Residents holding refundable entrance fees have standing and motivation to sue if the community financial position deteriorates. The claims that follow are about reserve management, whether refund obligations were adequately funded, whether disclosures were accurate, and whether the board discharged its duties.

Those are governance claims. The liability program does not answer them. And because many life plan communities are nonprofit and governed by volunteer trustees, the individuals personally exposed are frequently community members who were never told that is what serving involves.

Set the directors and officers limit against the entrance fee obligation and the outstanding debt rather than against annual revenue, since that is the scale of what a deterioration claim reaches.

Then check three terms: that the entity itself is covered and not only individuals, that an innocent insured carve-back preserves coverage for uninvolved directors where one is accused of fraud, and that the bodily injury exclusion is not drafted so broadly that it pulls a governance claim out of coverage merely because a resident was injured somewhere in the story.

A CCRC can answer simultaneously to a health licensing agency for its care levels, a continuing care regulator for its reserve, disclosure and financial reporting obligations, and a bond trustee for covenants attached to tax-exempt financing.

Each of those was negotiated or set once. The insurance program renews annually around all three, and nobody rereads documents signed years earlier, so drift is the normal outcome rather than the exception. It surfaces during a refinancing, a rating review or an audit.

Build a single schedule with a row for every insurance requirement in every document that binds you, and a column for what the current program actually provides. Refresh it at renewal rather than when someone asks.

The administrative benefit is obvious; the useful side effect is that this exercise reliably surfaces genuine coverage gaps, because bond trustees and regulators tend to require the things that matter.

Independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing on a single campus means one program answering four distinct claim profiles, with residents moving between levels as their needs change.

It also means the risk is concentrated at one location. A per location aggregate endorsement, which is the standard answer for a multi-site operator, does nothing here, because the campus is a single location.

Confirm the professional services definition covers the whole continuum rather than one licensure category, since a resident who transitions between levels should not transition out of coverage.

Then size the annual aggregate against the total claim frequency the whole campus produces, not against the frequency of its largest single level of care. This is the setting where a thin aggregate is most likely to be tested.
