Sec. 10. (a) The superintendent of the county home shall manage the county home and its farm to the best interests of the county.
(b) The superintendent shall maintain order and discipline and shall assign a reasonable amount of labor to every resident who is able to perform labor. A resident may not be excused from labor except by the superintendent or by the county physician for cause. The excuse of a resident by the physician shall be for a definite time, except in the case of:
(1) residents at least seventy (70) years of age; or
(2) residents suffering from a physical or mental disability that makes the residents unfit for labor;
to whom a permanent excuse may be given by the physician.
(c) A resident who refuses to perform the task assigned by the superintendent may be dismissed from the county home by the superintendent and can only be readmitted within six (6) weeks after dismissal:
(1) with the consent of the superintendent; or
(2) upon an order that is issued by the township trustee as the administrator of township assistance and endorsed by the chairman of the board of commissioners.
