Introduction

Roughly fifty providers submitted data for this analysis. Our analysis focuses on paid and closed claim data comprised of nearly 11,000 closed claims with approximately $1.87 billion in paid indemnity and expense over the past ten years. The participants in this study include independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing providers. In total, this analysis includes the exposure associated with approximately 265,000 senior living and long-term care units, which we consider statistically credible.

We have separated the claims and exposure data into long-term care: those exposures relating to skilled nursing facilities; and senior living: those exposures relating to independent living, assisted living, and memory care providers.

Executive Summary

We developed our forecasts using countrywide experience through December 31, 2021. For purposes of this analysis, the 2023 projections are exclusive of any claims relating to the COVID‐19 pandemic. We present metrics for claims limited to $1 million per occurrence and excluding payment values less than $100.
