About
ICF MR/DD is a designation referring to an ICF (intermediate care facility) for either MR (mental retardation) or DD (developmental disability) or both (MR/DD). The distinction between MR and DD is not clear in this context; some facilities designated only "MR" (ICF MR) will accept DD patients, and possibly vice-versa. It may be that there are no specific criteria. (Further research is needed.)
More descriptively, an ICF MR/DD is a long-term residential facility with 24-hour supervision and nursing care (see ICF) designed for patients with some form of developmental disability (DD).
Usage
