Report: Litigation claims hit Florida senior living, long-term care providers hard

A new report shows Florida is one of the states hardest hit by litigation claims against senior living and long-term care facilities.

Florida’s senior living loss rate of $1,496 was the highest in the 2022 General and Professional Liability Report for Senior Living and Long-Term Care Providers that was released March 2 by Oliver Wyman and Marsh, which are businesses of Marsh McLennan.

That means it takes $1,496 to pay indemnity or expense per occupied unit in a senior living facility in Florida. The rate for long-term care facilities in Florida is the fourth highest at $6,916 per occupied unit, behind Kentucky, Indiana and South Carolina.
