What is this bond?

An Illinois Patient Trust Funds Bond is a financial guarantee required for certain healthcare facilities that hold or manage the personal funds of their residents. It guarantees that the facility will ethically handle, accurately account for, and safeguard the patients' money against theft or mismanagement.

Who needs it?

Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other residential healthcare providers in Illinois that manage resident trust accounts typically need this bond. Because exact requirements vary based on the facility type and services offered, providers should verify their specific bonding needs with the appropriate state agency.

Why is it required?

The State of Illinois requires this bond to protect vulnerable patients from financial harm, fraud, or mismanagement of their personal assets by the facility. If a facility mishandles a resident's money, the bond provides a mechanism for the resident or their legal representatives to recover the lost funds.
