Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(755 ILCS 5/11a-14.1) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 11a-14.1)
Sec. 11a-14.1.
Residential placement.) No guardian appointed under this
Article, except for duly appointed Public Guardians and the Office of State
Guardian, shall have the power, unless specified by court order, to place
his ward in a residential facility. The guardianship order may specify
the conditions on which the guardian may admit the ward to a residential
facility without further court order.
In making residential placement decisions, the guardian shall
make decisions in conformity with the preferences of the ward unless the
guardian is reasonably certain that the decisions will result in substantial
harm to the ward or to the ward's estate. When the preferences of the ward
cannot be ascertained or where they will result in substantial harm to the
ward or to the ward's estate, the guardian shall make decisions with respect to
the ward's placement which are in the best interests of the ward.
The guardian
shall not remove the ward from his or her home or separate the ward from family
and friends unless such removal is necessary to prevent substantial harm to the
ward
or to the ward's estate.
The guardian
shall have a duty to investigate the availability of reasonable residential
alternatives. The guardian shall monitor the placement of the ward on an
on-going basis to ensure its continued appropriateness, and shall pursue
appropriate alternatives as needed.
