What is this bond?

A California Health Facility Patient Trust Fund Bond for Foster Family and Group Homes is a surety bond that protects the financial assets of residents entrusted to a care facility. It guarantees that the facility and its employees will ethically manage, properly account for, and correctly disburse the residents' funds. If the facility misappropriates or mismanages this money, the bond provides a mechanism for the residents to recover their financial losses.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for foster family agencies, group homes, and similar residential care facilities operating in California that handle or manage resident funds. Operators, directors, and administrators responsible for patient trust accounts must secure this bond as a condition of their licensing.

Why is it required?

The State of California requires this bond to protect vulnerable residents from fraud, theft, or financial negligence by care facility staff. It acts as a financial safety net, ensuring that if a facility fails to properly safeguard patient trust accounts, the affected individuals are financially compensated.
