Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) Licensing and Certification Program
Program Overview
The Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) Program enforces rules and regulations for over 500 facilities. The majority of these facilities are four to eight bed group homes. Staff conducts certification surveys and investigates complaints. The surveys focus on observations of staff and/or consumers interaction and interviews with consumers regarding their participation and choice of services in order to determine the outcomes of active treatment.
