The bond a South Carolina long-term care facility posts when it holds residents’ personal funds in trust. It protects those funds against mismanagement — we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check, sized to the average balance you hold.

A long-term care facility often holds small amounts of residents’ personal spending money in trust on their behalf. A resident patient trust funds bond is a resident-protection guarantee: it backs the facility's honest handling of those funds, so that if money is lost, mismanaged, or misappropriated, affected residents can be made whole.
It's a three-party arrangement: the facility (the principal), the surety carrier, and the residents whose funds are held (the protected parties). The amount generally tracks the average balance of resident funds the facility held over the prior year, so it scales with how much you hold in trust.
South Carolina's long-term care facilities are licensed and inspected by the state health agency (the function formerly under DHEC, now the Department of Public Health), and Medicaid-certified nursing facilities are separately required to safeguard residents' personal funds. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, the facility repays the surety. Confirm the exact requirement and amount with your licensing or Medicaid contact.
