What it is and who needs it.
What the patient trust bond protects
Under the Nursing Home Care Act (210 ILCS 45/2-201), if a facility elects to accept and manage some or all of its residents' personal funds, it must purchase a surety bond — or otherwise provide self-insurance or another approved assurance — guaranteeing the security of those funds. The bond protects residents and their families against loss from the facility's mishandling of the money it holds in trust.
The bond is filed with the Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Long-Term Care Quality Assurance, on the state's resident-fund surety bond form together with Schedule A. It is continuous and can be terminated by the surety only on 30 days' written notice to the facility, with a copy to IDPH.
There is no single statewide dollar figure — the bond is expected to be adequate for the trust funds your facility actually holds, so it scales with the money under management. Enter the amount that covers your resident funds and see your price; the application collects no credit information.
