Why do I need this bond?
Florida patient trust bonds are in put in place to ensure that principals (nursing homes) do the following:
- Hold separately and in trust all patients’ funds deposited with the principal
- Administer funds on behalf of said patients in the manner directed by Section 400.162 of the Florida Statutes
- Tender true and complete accounts to the patients, the depositors, and the state when requested
- Account for all funds received, expended, and held upon termination of each deposit
If a principal fails to comply with the letter of the law and the surety bond contract, the bond protects harmed parties from resulting financial loss and damages up to the full penal sum of the bond. The principal must reimburse the surety for all amounts paid out.
