Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 5-21009. Purchase of care.

Any infirm or chronically ill
resident of the county, or resident of participating counties in the case
of a joint home, who desires to purchase care and maintenance in the county
home with his own funds or with a public aid grant awarded to him under
"The Illinois Public Aid Code" may be received and cared for in the home.

Upon authorization of the County Board, or the County Boards in the case
of a joint home, infirm or chronically ill residents of other counties who
desire to purchase care and maintenance in the home from their own funds or
from public aid grants may also be admitted to the home.

The Department of Healthcare and Family Services, any local Supervisor of General
Assistance, and any other State or local agency may also purchase care in
the home for persons under their charge by paying the rates established by
the County Board.
