Management of the PNA Account

If requested by the member, a facility must assume responsibility, that is, become a trustee, for the PNA funds of a member. To do so, the facility must obtain and maintain on file a statement of authorization signed by the member or the member’s authorized or legal representative. The authorized or legal representative must not be an employee of the facility or related to an employee of the facility. Once a facility becomes trustee of a member’s PNA account, the facility is responsible for the safekeeping of the PNA money and must repay the member for any lost or stolen funds or for any money that cannot be accurately accounted for.
