More than just an Insurance Policy

We understand that operating a retirement residence or long-term care facility presents unique challenges. Among them, you must ensure the safety and well-being of your residents, staff, volunteers, and visitors; protect your premises, contents, and equipment; and provide clients with facilities, services and standards of care that consistently deliver a comfortable, respectful, and enjoyable quality of life.

You require specialized and tailored insurance coverage to help protect you, as well as your staff, residents, volunteers, visitors, your reputation, and your property. We understand what you need. And, we have also developed a range of tools, resources, and value-added services to help you manage the risks that are unique to you.

Giving back is what we do 

Being owned by a charitable trust means giving back is what we do. Our employees across Canada are proud to volunteer their time, lend their support and offer creative fundraising ideas—all in support of the numerous registered charities and non-profit organizations that play such a vital role in our diverse communities. Over the years, countless charities have benefited from the generosity of our employee-led and corporate giving. And we continue to develop materials, toolkits, and advice to help charities and non-profit organizations. For example, our fundraising hub offers information on how to raise funds, work with key stakeholders, and raise organizational awareness.
