What is an ICF/ID?

Loving environments, enriched learning opportunities, and meaningful vocational programs are crucial for the continued development of life-skills, independence, and overall quality of life. These individualized services and a high-level of care are provided at Utah’s Intermediate Care Facilities for the Intellectually Disabled (ICFs/ID).  

Utah’s community ICFs/ID provide twenty-four-hour residential supports for people with developmental disabilities. We are passionate, devoted and caring residential service providers. We provide loving environments that foster the learning and growth of our individuals. We are a part of the continuum of care for people with special needs in our communities.  

ICFs/ID specialize in caring for people with intellectual disabilities with the goal to assist each individual to become as independent as possible. Ranging in age from children to elderly, each resident is taught life skills and receives additional training, encouraging them to reach their highest potential.

Our homes offer care, help and disability services for people with developmental disabilities/Intellectual disabilities, Autism, Down syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, and dually diagnosed with mental illness/mental disability, and seizures.
