What Is the Bond Limit and Cost of the Nursing Facility Residents Fund Bond?

The Nursing Facility Residents Fund Bond limit is approved by the Director of the Ohio Department of Health and must be equal to the total amount of resident funds held by the facility during the year. 

Jet’s prices are based on a small percentage of the custom bond limit and the personal credit score of the nursing facility owner. For those seeking a $10,000 bond amount, prices start as low as $100 annually. For further examples, please refer to the chart below for various bond limits and their preferred tier prices.

How Does a Ohio Nursing Home/Facility Avoid Bond Claims?

Licensed nursing homes and long-term care facilities that manage some or all of their residents' funds are expected to follow regulations under Section 3721.5 of the Ohio Revised Code. Failure to do so may lead to the end of the residents' fund program, suspension or termination of their State license, large fines, and/or civil action that results in a claim on the Nursing Facility Residents Fund Bond.

Claims typically occur if the Department of Health finds that the nursing facility has mishandled residents' funds, performed an act of negligence or dishonestly pertaining to the funds, and/or committed embezzlement. Such violations can come to light through an official complaint made to the Department or random financial reviews by the Department of the facility.

If a resident fund violation occurs, civil action can be taken by the Director on behalf of a damaged resident or the resident can take action themselves. If the state court rules in favor of the claimant, the Nursing Facility Residents Fund Bond will cover any funds lost by the nursing home resident due to the facilities violations should the Nursing Facility be unable or unwilling to reimburse damages sustained. 

Immediately contact Jet upon receiving a court ordered claim payment notification, and be ready with any and all information you have concerning the Nursing Facility Residents Fund Bond claim. We will brief you on how our claims process works and then will proceed to an investigation and review of the provided info/documentation.

Bond claims that are determined to be justified must be paid out by Jet to the damaged party, but only up to the bond’s limit. Your surety bond is essentially an extension of credit, and therefore you are responsible for reimbursing Jet for the claim payout made on your behalf. Failure to do so will result in future difficulties in securing surety bonds in Ohio, particularly bonds that are needed for the obtainment of various health industry licenses.
