Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) for the Developmentally Delayed/Subacute Care
Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) for the Developmentally Delayed/Subacute Care
ICFs are facilities where people of all ages with developmental disabilities live and receive:
- Health care services
- Life skills training
- Vocational training
ICFs help members who do not reside with family live the most independent, productive, fulfilling life possible.
Because they provide some nursing and medical care on-site, ICFs are licensed by the Department of Health Care Services.
Subacute Care:
Subacute care patients are medically fragile and require special services, such as inhalation therapy, tracheostomy care, intravenous feeding, and complex wound management care.
Adult subacute care is defined as a level of care needed by a patient who does not require hospital acute care but who requires more intensive care than is provided in a skilled nursing facility.
Pediatric subacute care is a level of care needed by a person less than 21 years of age who uses a medical technology that compensates for the loss of a vital bodily function.
