Look up California ICFs: health care homes for people with developmental disabilities

Every licensed California Intermediate Care Facility, with its inspection record

Most ICFs are small, State-licensed health homes where people with developmental disabilities get 24-hour care, nursing and daily-living training. Look up any of them and see its federal inspection findings (since 2018) and State citations (since 1998), from CDPH and CMS public records.

If your family member is a regional center client, start with their service coordinator. How regional centers and ICFs work

Frequently asked questions

Is ICFLookup free?
Yes. Every search, facility page and inspection record is free, with no account or sign-up.
How does someone get into an ICF?
Usually through a regional center, not by searching alone. If your family member is a regional center client, start with their service coordinator: the regional center refers clients and certifies the level of care Medi-Cal needs. Regional centers and ICFs explains each step.
Does Medi-Cal pay for an ICF?
For a Medi-Cal certified ICF, Medi-Cal can pay once the stay is authorized: the regional center certifies the person's need for that level of care, and the Department of Health Care Services approves it and pays. Each facility page says whether the home is Medi-Cal certified. Regional centers and ICFs has the details.
Why are complaints not listed?
CDPH doesn't publish complaints or facility-reported incidents as a bulk file. They are on each facility's CalHealthFind page, which every facility page here links to. Federal inspections that came from a complaint do appear, marked as complaint inspections.
What is an ICF?
An Intermediate Care Facility is a health facility licensed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Most California ICFs are small homes for people with developmental disabilities: ICF/DD-H (habilitative), ICF/DD-N (nursing) and ICF/DD-CN (continuous nursing). ICF/DD-H vs. DD-N vs. DD-CN explains the differences.
Where does the data come from?
From official bulk files: CDPH's Licensed and Certified Healthcare Facility Listing (via the CalHHS Open Data Portal), CDPH's State Enforcement Actions data, and CMS's ICF/IID inspection (CMS-2567) and Provider of Services files. How our data works explains each source and how often it is refreshed.
What do W-tags and condition-level deficiencies mean?
A W-tag is the code for a federal care or rights rule a home was found not to meet on a federal inspection (CMS calls these inspections surveys). A standard-level finding means one rule was not met; a condition-level finding means a whole area of care failed, the most serious kind. How to read an ICF inspection has more.
What are Class AA, A and B citations?
CDPH's State citations, most serious first. Class AA: a violation that was a substantial factor in a resident's death. Class A: imminent danger or a substantial probability of death or serious harm. Class B: a direct relationship to residents' health, safety or security. State citations explained.
