Who Needs This Bond?
You're running — or preparing to open — a nonmedical home health services agency in Ohio, and the Ohio Department of Health has told you a surety bond is required. Any business that provides nonmedical in-home support services such as personal care, homemaker assistance, or companion care must carry this bond as part of the state licensing process. This applies whether you are launching a new agency or renewing an existing license. If the Ohio Department of Health is your licensing authority, this is your bond.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your nonmedical home health services agency will comply with Ohio's rules governing the care and treatment of clients in their homes. It gives the Ohio Department of Health a financial remedy if your agency fails to meet its obligations — protecting vulnerable clients who rely on in-home support. You are the principal, the Ohio Department of Health is the obligee, and the bond is the financial assurance they require as a condition of licensure. It is not liability insurance — it is a compliance guarantee issued in favor of the state.
When is it Required?
Before your nonmedical home health services license is issued, the Ohio Department of Health must have proof of your bond on file. You cannot legally operate under this license without it. If you are applying for the first time or completing a renewal, the bond must be secured and verified before the state will move your application forward. Do not schedule clients or begin operations until this requirement is met.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Ohio requirement administered by the Ohio Department of Health. It applies to nonmedical home health service providers operating anywhere in Ohio, regardless of which county or city you are based in. There is no local-jurisdiction substitute — only this state-level bond satisfies the licensing requirement.
