What the resident trust fund bond actually covers
When a resident of an Iowa health care facility (nursing facility, residential care facility, ICF) deposits personal spending money with the facility, the facility holds it in trust for the resident. Iowa Code 135C.21 governs the handling of those resident funds and requires the facility to safeguard them so a resident is never deprived of their own money.
A surety bond is the common way to provide that safeguard. The bond is payable for the benefit of residents: if the facility misapplies or fails to return a resident’s trust funds, the harmed resident (or their estate) can recover against the bond up to its amount.
Because the exposure is the dollars you hold, the bond amount is sized to your resident trust funds — confirm the figure with the licensing department, enter it, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check. If the surety pays a claim, the facility repays the surety.
