Overview of the Program From Colonial General Colonial General brings decades of experience as a Managing General Agency and Excess & Surplus Lines Broker, providing tailored transportation programs across the Western U.S. Our Nursing Home Van Insurance program is designed to meet the unique risks faced by nursing homes and elder care facilities that transport residents for medical appointments, outings, or treatment centers. This program supports agents looking to place specialized auto liability and physical damage coverage for commercial passenger vans. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program is ideal for facilities providing non-emergency transportation for elderly or disabled residents, particularly those under Medicare or Medicaid contracts. We work with agents placing business for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and long-term care providers that operate vans with passenger seating. However, please note: We generally do not have markets for wheelchair-accessible vehicles in most states. Facilities must hold valid Medicare or Medicaid transportation contracts. If you have a client operating multiple vans with scheduled routes for residents, or a mid-sized nursing home transporting patients up to 500 miles away for care, this program could be a strong fit.
