Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is an ICF/DD-H or ICF/DD-N facility?

ICF/DD-H (Habilitative) and ICF/DD-N (Nursing) are Intermediate Care Facilities for individuals with developmental disabilities, typically licensed for 4 to 6 beds in California. DD-H homes focus on habilitation training; DD-N homes additionally provide licensed nursing care for residents with medical needs.

What areas does DirectCareHQ serve?

We provide on-site consulting within a 30-mile radius of San Jose and remote consulting throughout California. On-site visits outside the San Jose area are available when travel expenses are covered by the client.

What does the free consultation include?

A no-obligation conversation about your facility's operations, licensing status, and modernization goals. You leave with an honest assessment of where consulting can help and where it can't.

Can you help with a licensing survey deficiency?

Yes. We help facilities prepare plan-of-correction responses to survey findings, then build the documentation and processes that prevent repeat deficiencies.

What's included in the Program Plan template?
