What is an ICF?

What is an Intermediate Care Facility?

An Intermediate Care Facilityis a health facility that provides inpatient care to those with developmental disabilities who are in need of skilled nursing supervision and supportive care, but do not require continuous nursing care. Intermediate care facilities provide active therapy and treatment that gives an opportunity for recovery through structured individual care plans.

Intermediate Care Facilities range in size from the state developmental centers to the smallest, the single family home. Providing the most normalized setting, the six bed residential home provides for individuals to live in family units supported by 8-10 full time trained staff. Each home is managed by a Qualified Developmental Disability Professional & Administrator and clinical care overseen by the facility Registered Nurse and Medical Director.
