The Ohio Nursing Home Bond is required by the Director of the Department of Human Services. A home, according to the Ohio Revised Code, means an institution, residence, or facility that provides for a period of more than twenty-four hours, whether for a consideration or not, accommodations to three or more unrelated individuals who are dependent upon the services of others, including a nursing home, residential care facility, home for the aging, and a veterans’ home.
What is the purpose of an Ohio Nursing Home Bond?
This surety bond is required for any home that manages the financial affairs of its residents to assure the security of all residents’ funds.
The bond covers residents’ funds held by such licensee during the year: (1) well and truly hold separately and in trust all residents’ funds deposited with the principal as, or as an operator of, a nursing home or homes for the aged; and (2) shall administer said funds on behalf of said residents in the manner directed by the depositors thereof; and (3) depositors and the obligee when requested; and (4) upon termination of each said deposit shall account for all funds received thereunder, expanded and hold on hand.
