Re: coverage on property with adult foster care business
the property shouldn't be an issue, i have never heard of Adult Foster care, but wonder if you mean Adult day care? If it's in a private home, the Homeowner's insurance policy would cover the property. If it's in a commercial space, you can insure just the property. You may have to go surplus lines if you need only property in a commercial space, if so, let me know!

Try Smith Bell & Thimpson out of Vermont.

Re: coverage on property with adult foster care business
I would not try Smith Bell & Thompson unless you have no other Standard or Preferred markets to Access. This is not a tough line of business. Hartford, Safeco, CNA, any carrier should be willing to write this property coverage.
If it's in a home, coverage for business personal property would be limited. I believe the ISO limit is $2,500 for personal property used AT ANY TIME or IN ANY MANNER for ANY business purpose. I'm not sure what ladybroker was referring to, but I haven't seen any wording more liberal than this. Some direct writers may have a limit that is higher though.

I don't think that you'll find a standard market for an HO-3. I used Monticello through Superior U/W for one where I had an HO-3 with the PE&O for the adult foster care several years ago. I think that MId-Valley GA http://www.midvalleyga.com/ would be a better choice right now with or without the PE&O.
I have a lessors risk policy currently through Century Surety Co. through Hull & Co. http://www.hullco.com/

If your client is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, you may want to try a Risk-Retention group that I use, The Alliance of Nonpprofits for Insurance. You can find them on the web at http://www.ani-rrg.org. They are great to work with! Good luck!

Hello again! Yes, there would be some limitations on the property, but if this is run like a home day care, the majority of the property is the Homeowner's...you can't really insure a private residence under a commercial policy, so I thought this was probably the easiest way to go, since the prospect likely already has an HO policy in place.

Re: coverage on property with adult foster care business
adult foster care is in a home as it is residenital program - not a day program. The clients live as a family, usually 3-5 in a home, similar to a group home. As previously stated, Travelers is a good home for this.

Re: coverage on property with adult foster care business
I had a tenant-homeowners in Portland who operated an adult foster care/day care out of the home he was renting. The company wanted off (not due to the property issues but due to the liability issues, even though he had a commercial policy, since they could still be liable). None of my standard carriers would touch it, I had to quote it via a general agency.
