Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF) – is a facility that provides 24-hour personal
care, habilitation, developmental, and supportive health services to
developmentally disabled clients whose primary need is for developmental
services and who have a recurring but intermittent need for skilled nursing
services. There are private ICFs in the community. The Department of
Developmental Services (Department) also operates three State developmental
centers (DCs), Sonoma, Fairview and Porterville which are licensed and certified

as General Acute Care hospitals with Skilled Nursing and Intermediate Care

Pressure Ulcer - is an area of skin that breaks down when something keeps

Self-Advocacy – refers to the civil rights movement for people with
Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD), and other disabilities. It is also an
important term in the disability rights movement, referring to people with
disabilities taking control of their own lives, including being in charge of their own
care in the medical system. The self-advocacy movement is (in basic terms) about
people with disabilities speaking up for themselves. It means that although a

person with a disability may call upon the support of others, the individual is
entitled to be in control of their own resources and how they are directed. It is
about having the right to make life decisions without undue influence or control
by others.
