What it is and who needs it.
What the patient trust bond actually covers
When a Rhode Island nursing facility, ICF/DD, or assisted living residence holds and manages residents’ personal spending money — their personal needs funds — the state requires a financial backstop so those funds are protected if the facility mishandles them or fails.
Under R.I. Gen. Laws § 23-17-50, a licensed health care facility that controls patient funds must maintain a surety bond with the State of Rhode Island as obligee, consistent with the federal requirement at 42 C.F.R. § 483.10(f)(10)(vi) to assure the security of residents’ personal funds. The bond amount must exceed the total resident funds on hand, typically benchmarked to the prior year’s average balances and reviewed annually.
The bond protects residents and their families: if the facility loses, misapplies, or fails to return resident funds, the bond makes them whole. It is not insurance for the facility — if the surety pays, the facility repays the surety. Enter the amount your balances require; the application collects no credit information.
