It’s important that individuals with developmental disabilities have safe homes with needed supports and services. That’s why the County Board offers residential services through a licensed Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF), known as the Adult Residence Center. The ICF is certified by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities and the Ohio Department of Health.
The ultimate goal of the ICF is to assist individuals in maintaining or achieving their highest level of independence through active treatment.
Residents of the ICF must be Medicaid eligible and need an ICF Level of Care (LOC). Individuals are determined to have an ICF LOC when they need supervision, supports, and assistance for certain activities of daily living, self-administration of medication, and prevention of harm due to a cognitive impairment.
Each ICF resident must have an Ohio Individual Service Plan (OISP) developed by an interdisciplinary team that represents the professions, disciplines and service areas relevant to identifying the individual’s needs. ICF care includes:
- Consistent, active and individualized treatment
- Residential staff trained in CPR/First Aid and in non-violent Crisis Prevention Intervention
- 24/7 nursing care
- Habilitation programs and services
- Adult daily living skill instruction
- Supervised recreation and community outings
- Dietary services and family style dining (three meals and snack/day)
- Social services
- Psychological and psychiatric assessments
- Physical, occupational and speech therapy
- Pavilions on-site
