Two sources of Medicaid support for persons with mental retardation and related conditions (MR/RC) are examined, the intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded (ICF/MR) program and the home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver [2].

High impact information on Intermediate Care Facilities

This study analyzed the early effects of the Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS) on the likelihood of hospital's discharging Medicare beneficiaries to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), intermediate care facilities (ICFs), and home health agencies [3].
BACKGROUND: Large variations in staff injury rates across intermediate care facilities suggest that injuries may be driven by facility-specific work environment factors [4].
The treatment was implemented on the two living units of the Liberty Intermediate Care Facility [5].
