We understand some companies' loss control services appear to mirror the already burdensome state compliance inspections. Our approach to Loss Control for senior living programs is to make recommendations for program, policy, or procedural changes that we have identified as having a positive impact toward reducing losses. We can tailor our services to address specific losses, industry trends and at the same time maintain or improve documentation that is needed to meet compliance issues.

The material will be updated periodically to provide information on loss trends and industry hot topics. We encourage you to visit the site often. If you have any questions about loss control / risk management services for Senior Living providers please contact Bill Coons at BillC@thomcoins.com
