| An Intermediate care facility for persons with developmental disabilities is a residential facility licensed as a supervised living facility under Minnesota Statute to provide services to persons who have developmental disabilities or related conditions. ICFs/DD are located in 62 counties in Minnesota and serve from four to 64 persons. |
| Eligibility for ICF/DD services is determined through a screening process. To be eligible for ICF/DD services a person must meet all these criteria: |
| • Be determined to have a developmental disability or a related condition |
| • Have substantial limitations in present functioning, manifested as significantly sub-average intellectual functioning existing concurrently with demonstrated deficits in adaptive behavior |
| • Manifest conditions before the person’s 22nd birthday |
| • Require a 24-hour plan of care |
| An ICF/DD must provide a continuous active treatment program that includes outcome-based services in response to the identified needs of people as specified in the Individual Service Plan. Services must: |
| • Be based on the needs and preferences and personal goals of the consumer |
| • Be consistent with the principles of the least restrictive environment and self-determination |
| • Include opportunities to participate in the community |
| • Include functional skill development, reduced dependency on care providers and opportunities for the development of decision–making skills |
