What it is and who needs it.
What the resident’s fund bond actually covers
A Georgia long-term care facility — a nursing home, skilled nursing facility, or intermediate care home — that handles residents’ personal funds must back those funds with a surety bond, under the rules administered by the Department of Community Health. The bond is a safeguard for residents’ money.
It runs to the Commissioner of Community Health for the benefit of the residents whose funds the facility holds. It guarantees the facility faithfully accounts for all residents’ funds it receives or manages, and disburses them only as the residents request or the rules require. If a facility mishandles those funds, residents can recover against the bond.
The amount is equal to the total funds in the residents’ accounts the facility maintains, so it scales with your trust balance — if your balance grows, you increase the bond. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, set by the amount you hold — confirmed by a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
