INSURANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT & LEGAL RESOURCES


Our Goal

Villages Insurance Maze

One of the most difficult and costly aspects of developing and maintaining a village is researching and securing the proper insurance to protect your village, finding the right risk management tools to reduce the chance of loss, and having access to the proper legal assistance to guide your village through the maze of compliance issues a non-profit must follow on an ongoing basis.

Our goal was to create a simple comprehensive solution to provide the tools and resources you need to protect your village. The program includes risk management tools, insurance and legal resources.

The risk management & insurance program we have created accomplishes that goal. In addition, the villages have a choice of how they access the program. You can either use your own local insurance broker that you have a relationship with or you can utilize O'Kane & Tegay Insurance Brokers, the Insurance Program Administrator for the Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program. Either way, you get access to all of the risk management tools, benefits, and legal resources included with the program.

“I believe the village movement will continue to grow and have a significant impact on our society. We want to help by making it easier for villages to open. This program makes it easier, more cost effective, and protects the villages so they can deliver the services needed to allow people to stay in their home longer.

OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM BENEFITS:

Below is an outline of coverage and benefits provided to villages when they place their insurance with the Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program.  Remember, you can access the program through your current insurance broker or access the program directly through O'Kane & Tegay Insurance Brokers, the Insurance Program Administrator. 

If you would like to access the program through your current insurance broker, have them visit this site and contact us.

If you would like to access the program directly through O'Kane & Tegay Insurance Brokers the Insurance Program Administrator, please call 800-965-2955.

INSURANCE COVERAGE

We have partnered with Philadelphia Insurance Companies to provide you with a comprehensive package of insurance options and coverages to protect your village, your volunteers and your members. We utilize CIMA Volunteer Insurance Solutions to place the volunteer accident, liability and excess auto coverages for your volunteers. 

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Philadelphia Insurance Companies and the Non-Profit Risk Management Center are working with us to provide you with valuable resources needed to put policies and procedures in place to protect your village, volunteers, employees and its members. These additional resources are included at no cost to your village. You can obtain additional comprehensive resources at a reduced rate.

VOLUNTEER RISK MANAGEMENT

Volunteers are a necessary part of your Village's operational mission. 

In the past, many organizations would allow most volunteers to participate in the organization. Given the current legal ramifications, a poorly screened and implemented volunteer can present a huge liability to your Village. This liability can drain your resources and also reflect negatively on the Village's good name.

VOLUNTEER DRIVING RISK MANAGEMENT

Below are some training videos and recommendations to help protect your Village, your members, and volunteers.

Defensive Driving Video

Distracted Driving Video

Driver Selection:  Review motor vehicle department records prior to hiring and at least annually thereafter.  Some states have an automated system where employers can provide driver names and the DMV automatically mails the motor vehicle record if there is any activity.   A valid driver‘s license should be required and verified annually.

Vehicle Inspections:  A daily, written pre-operational inspection of the vehicle should be conducted.  Any items impacting the safe operation of the vehicle should be
corrected before the vehicle is placed into service. 

Seat Belt Use -  is especially critical.  Research has shown that large numbers of people die in rollover crashes when they area partially or completely thrown from the vehicle.
 
Preventative Maintenance: Volunteers should make sure their vehicles have periodic preventative maintenance following the manufacturer's suggested servicing intervals. They should maintain a service log of some sort.
 
Accident Investigation:  Maintain an accident reporting kit in all vehicles.  This kit should include a standard format to obtain necessary information in the event of an
accident and a disposable camera (If the volunteer does not have a cell phone with a camera) for pictures of the accident scene and damage.

Policies & Procedures - should include items such as seat belt use for drivers and passengers, cell phone use, emergency situations and basic defensive driving principals should be provided on a regularly scheduled basis.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The enclosed loss control information is for your consideration in your loss prevention efforts. They are not intended to be complete or definitive in identifying all hazards associated with your business, preventing workplace accidents, or complying with any safety related, or other, laws or regulations. You are encouraged to address the specific hazards of your business and to have your legal counsel review all of your plans and company policies.

(AABR) to provide you access to a network of highly rated law firms and attorneys throughout the country.

RISK MANAGEMENT


WHAT IS RISK MANAGEMENT?

The process of identification, analysis and either acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in decision-making.  It can help you understand the risks you face. Risk management is not a crystal ball, however, it does promote greater awareness of circumstances and events that could detract from your mission, and offers you practical tools and strategies.

WHY MANAGE RISK?

The mission of your village is too important to ignore the risks you face. No nonprofit organization exists in a risk-free zone. Decisions about risk-taking are made intuitively and thoughtfully every day. Taking time to learn more about the discipline of risk management and exploring how to integrate practical strategies are best bets for protecting your vital mission of the village for the long term.

FREE RISK MANAGEMENT CONSULTING

Is your Village currently in development and not yet insured? We understand there is a lot or work to starting your Village. We also know finances are tight during the start-up phase. That is why we provide Villages in the start of phase with free* risk management consulting and guidance.

* Free risk management consulting is provided by Insurance Management Corporation (IMC). Free services are not unlimited, but you will be advised up front in writing if there will be any charge for any specific services provided. 

PHILADELPHIA & THE NON-PROFIT RISK MANAGEMENT CENTER

We have partnered with Philadelphia Insurance Companies and The Non-Profit Risk Management Center to provide you with access to comprehensive risk management resources. Watch the video below.

 

The risk management resources described in the video above are included at no additional cost when you place your insurance through the Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program.


BACKGROUND CHECKS

Background checks are a very important part of the risk management process for the villages non-profits. Especially since many of your volunteers will be going into people's homes. Every volunteer and employee hired by a village should have a background check completed. We understand that some may feel the cost is prohibitive to order background checks on every volunteer or employee. That is why we recommend your village to implement a policy that many non-profits around the country have implemented successfully. We recommend that those who turn in a volunteer application be requested to provide a $20 or $25 donation to cover the cost of the background check and processing time of the village. People understand you are a non-profit and most are more than willing to provide a donation to cover the cost of the background check.

This policy shows the volunteer that you are looking out for the finances of the village, that you are being proactive to protect your members, and that you monitor your volunteers. This helps protect everyone involved.

The below video describes the benefits of using Verified Volunteers for your Background Checks.

All new clients will receive a free 30 minute consultation.

In addition, Village Risk Management & Insurance Program Members receive a 25% savings on setting up a Will or Trust through our provider law firms.

Estate planning is for everyone.
It is not just for “retired” people. Unfortunately, we can’t successfully predict how long we will live, and illness and accidents happen to people of all ages.

Estate planning is not just for “the wealthy.” 
Although people who have built some wealth do often think more about how to preserve it. Good estate planning often means more to families with modest assets, because they can't afford to lose any amount.

Too many people don’t plan.
Individuals put off estate planning because they think they don’t own enough, they’re not old enough, they’re busy, think they have plenty of time, they’re confused and don’t know who can help them, or they just don’t want to think about it. Then, when something happens to them, their families have to pick up the pieces.

If you don’t have a plan, your state has one for you, but you probably won’t like it.

Van De Poel, Levy, Thomas, Arneal LLP. provides the highest quality legal advice regarding the transfer and management of our clients' wealth and administration of a decedent’s estate.

The Estate Planning practice at VLTA differs from other firms in that the emphasis is on wealth maximization, rather than simply minimizing taxes. 

Their attorneys are well trained in the Estate Planning field and use the most up-to-date techniques to maximize wealth for future generations. 

This includes advising and creating:

  •       Family limited partnerships and LLCs,

  •       Sophisticated life insurance trusts,

  •       Dynasty trusts,

  •       Grantor retained annuity trusts, and

  •       Charitable reminder and lead trusts.

Estate Planning involves advisors from the various disciplines in financial planning. Our attorneys are adept at working with financial planners, accounting professionals and other advisors. In addition to working with our client’s outside professionals, we add the resources of our firm’s other practice areas to provide truly comprehensive Estate Planning. 

Estate and Trust Administration is another aspect of their Estate Planning practice and their attorneys can provide a host of administrative services including:

  •        Post-mortem trust administration

  •        Advising on Federal and California gift
           and estate tax returns

  •        Gift and estate tax audits and related tax litigation

  •         Administration of lifetime trusts and
            entities including family limited partnerships
            and LLCs.

Finally, their Estate Planning practice group has a strong group of litigators well-versed in representing fiduciaries and beneficiaries in trust and probate controversies.

Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program Only

O'Kane & Tegay Insurance Brokers is the Insurance Program Administrator for the Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program. The Program is available on a nationwide basis to all licensed retail insurance brokers. You must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in Errors & Omissions Insurance. There are no minimum premium requirements to get access to the program.

WHY REGISTER WITH O'KANE & TEGAY INSURANCE BROKERS?

The Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program was created for the benefit of all Villages who are part of the Aging-in-Place movement.  The program combines risk management tools and resources that would cost individual villages thousands of dollars if they were to obtain them on their own. It also includes access to free and reduced fee legal services from highly rated law firms, and a comprehensive insurance program designed specifically for the Villages. 

We understand the importance and desire of some villages to build local relationships with independent agents. That is why we created the program on an open broker basis. However, the carriers involved, want to make sure that brokers submitting business through the program maintain proper licensing and E&O coverage limits.  This information is needed even if you already have an appointment with the carriers involved in the program.

WHAT IF I AM ALREADY APPOINTED WITH PHILADELPHIA INSURANCE AND/OR VOLUNTEER INSURANCE SOLUTIONS?

Even if you are already appointed with Philadelphia Insurance or Volunteer Insurance Solutions directly, you still need to register with the Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program through O'Kane & Tegay Insurance Brokers.  In order for your client to get access to special program pricing, free risk management resources, free and reduced fee legal resources, savings on background checks through Verified Volunteers, and more. If you place the insurance direct through Philadelphia or Volunteer Insurance Solutions, your client will not get access to the other benefits and discounts provided through the Villages Risk Management & Insurance Program.
