Overview
Some residents entrust your facility with managing a portion of their personal funds. The Resident Trust Ledger provides a per-resident transaction register with a running balance, receipt uploads, and a 48-hour access request workflow that ensures residents and their guardians can always review their funds.
Viewing a resident’s ledger
- Go to Finance → Trust Ledger.
- Select a resident from the dropdown.
- The ledger shows all transactions in chronological order with dates, descriptions, amounts, and the running balance.
Transaction types
Adding a transaction
- Click Add Transaction.
- Select the type (Deposit or Withdrawal).
- Enter the amount, date, description, and optional receipt.
- Click Save.
All transactions are permanent. To correct an error, add an Adjustment transaction with a note explaining the correction.
Resident or guardian access requests
Residents and their legal guardians have the right to review the trust ledger. When they request access:
- They or a staff member clicks Request Access on the ledger.
- ImaraCare records the request timestamp.
- You have 48 hours to provide access.
- When access is provided, click Access Provided to close the request.
Requests that are not resolved within 48 hours are flagged on the compliance dashboard.
Downloading a ledger
Click Download PDF to export a formatted statement of all transactions for a selected date range. This PDF is suitable for sharing with residents, guardians, or auditors.
Trust fund ledger entries cannot be deleted — only corrected via adjustment transactions. This is by design to maintain an unalterable audit trail.
