What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
Illinois licenses assisted living and shared housing establishments through the Department of Public Health under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9). As part of licensure, an establishment must provide a surety bond pledging faithful performance of the Act and the Department's rules.
The bond exists to protect residents who pay fees up front. It is generally required of an establishment that collects application or entrance fees exceeding a resident's minimum monthly fees within a short window — and that does not hold a permit under the Life Care Facilities Act. If the establishment closes, the bond backs the reimbursement of prepaid fees.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for the operator — if the surety pays a resident's claim, the operator repays the surety. The Department of Public Health (77 Ill. Adm. Code Part 295) sets the required amount based on the prepaid fees you hold. We issue whatever amount your license requires, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
