If you are engaged as a nursing home that handles residents funds operating in Louisiana, you are required by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals to file an Louisiana Nursing Home Bond as a condition of licensure.
A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The Louisiana Nursing Home Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions.
By possessing a Louisiana Nursing Home Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
