Facilities Serving People with Developmental Disabilities
Portal outage
Routine system maintenance is happening on Sunday, January 11th at 9 p.m. for up to 3 hours. The DHS DQA Provider Portal and associated systems will be unavailable during this time. We appreciate your understanding and support.
Facilities serving people with developmental disabilities (FDDs) are also federally known as intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID). In addition to providing medical treatment and supervision, ICF/IIDs offer active treatment programming to help residents keep and improve their developmental, behavioral, and social skills.
These locations provide:
- Doing daily living activities.
- Getting an education.
- Having a job.
- Engaging in organized social activities.
