Intermediate Care Facility Search

Have you or a family member ever needed more care than what is available near you? With a tool from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD), you can find Intermediate Care Facilities (commonly referred to as ICF’s) that may have openings near or far from where you currently live.  Select the ICF locator button to search using your zip code and the range you’re willing to travel.

• Volunteering at Game Night
• Delivering donated furniture items
• Taking someone to a sporting event
• Donating tickets to Kings Island, the zoo, or other attractions
• Baking treats for families
• Cutting grass or doing light home projects
• Giving gifts during the holidays
• Giving music lessons
