(210 ILCS 55/2.11)
    Sec. 2.11. "Home nursing agency" means an agency that provides services directly, or acts as a placement agency, in order to deliver skilled nursing and home health aide services to persons in their personal residences or a certified family health aide, as defined by the Certified Family Health Aide Program for Children and Adults Act, for individuals receiving or eligible to receive: (1) in-home shift nursing services under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment requirement of Medicaid under 42 U.S.C. 1396d(r); or (2) in-home shift nursing services through the home and community-based services waiver program authorized under Section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act for persons who are medically fragile and technology dependent. A home nursing agency provides services that would require a licensed nurse to perform. Home health aide services are provided under the direction of a registered professional nurse or advanced practice registered nurse. A home nursing agency does not require licensure as a home health agency under this Act. "Home nursing agency" does not include an individually licensed nurse acting as a private contractor or a person that provides or procures temporary employment in health care facilities, as defined in the Nurse Agency Licensing Act.
