Community ICF/IID Residential Services

Community Intermediate Care Families for Individuals with Intellectual Disability (ICF/IID) homes provide 24-hour supports to individuals in a community-based dwelling.  Community ICF/IID homes provide health or rehabilitative services and provide “active treatment” to individuals receiving services toward the achievement of a more independent level of functioning or an improved quality of life.  A community ICF/IID provides a package of all needed services through one entity.
