About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the resident fund bond actually covers

Many nursing-home residents ask the facility to hold and manage their personal spending money. Tennessee requires a facility that accepts and manages residents’ funds to post a surety bond on those funds under T.C.A. § 68-11-906, so the money is protected if the facility mishandles it.

The bond amount equals the total funds held in trust for the facility’s residents — so it scales with your census and the balances you hold. The facility must also make an annual, audited accounting of those funds available to residents and for public inspection.

The bond protects residents (and the state) against loss if the facility fails to manage the trust funds honestly. If the surety pays a claim, the facility repays the surety. Enter the figure that matches your trust balances — premiums start from $100.

T.C.A. § 68-11-906Tennessee Code Annotated § 68-11-906 requires a long-term care facility that accepts and manages residents’ personal funds to maintain a surety bond on all funds held in trust for residents, in an amount equal to the total funds so held, and to make an annual audited accounting of those funds available to residents and for public inspection. The requirement is administered through Tennessee’s health-facility licensing program.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Tennessee resident fund bond?Premiums are 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and the bond amount equals the total resident funds you hold in trust, so it scales with your facility. Your exact price is confirmed at the application.
How do I figure out my bond amount?Under T.C.A. § 68-11-906 it equals the total of all funds you hold in trust for residents. Use your current trust balance — if it grows, re-issue at the higher amount.
Do all facilities need this bond?Only facilities that accept and manage residents’ personal funds. If you never hold residents’ money, the bond requirement does not apply.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for most filers. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs on a larger bond amount, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against?It protects residents’ trust funds against loss if the facility mishandles them. If the surety pays a claim, the facility repays the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for the facility.
