InterCare ICF-MR

InterCare homes provide 24-hour supervision for people with development disabilities. InterCare manages homes that are licensed as an intermediate care facility for people with mental retardation known as an ICF/MR. ICF/MRs have evolved over the past 25 years from large, state-run institutions to smaller, privately run homes located in the community. InterCare homes have between 4 and ten residents.

To be certified to receive Medicaid funding, an ICF/MR must meet federal standards for 24-hour health care and continuous, individualized active training for people living there. ICF/MRs provide a full range of services in meeting individual participants' needs that include community based living, education, employment training, counseling and support therapies, health care and recreational activities. Professionally trained nurses and social workers are located in each home.
