About

An intermediate care facility (ICF) is a medical institution which can provide a particular level of service ("intermediate care") for its patients.

According to infoline.org:

Intermediate Care Facilities are designed for individuals with chronic conditions who are unable to live independently, but do not need constant intensive care. Intermediate Care Facilities provide supportive care and nursing supervision under medical direction twenty-four hours per day, but not continuous nursing care. They stress rehabilitation therapy that enables individuals to return to a home setting or regain or retain as many functions of daily living as possible. A full range of medical, social, recreational and support services are also provided. ... Intermediate Care Facilities are also known as Rest Homes with Nursing Supervision.

ICF MR/DD

ICF MR/DD is a particular type of care designed for patients with mental retardation (MR) or developmental disability (DD). Some ICFs designated as ICF/MR will also accept DD patients, and the reverse may also be true; it's not clear what the differences in entry criteria between MR and DD might be, and it may be that there are no specific criteria. Further research is needed.

See ICF MR/DD home for information about ICF MR/DD facilities.
