Book Description
This report discusses: deficient care practices occurring in large intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded (ICFs/MR); whether state survey agencies identify all serious deficiencies in these institutions, and weaknesses in Health Care Financing Admin. (HCFA) and state oversight of quality of care. This information was received from HCFA officials, provider representatives, advocates, researchers, and other experts in the field and there was a review of the relevant literature. U.S. Justice investigation reports and other documentation were reviewed.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of placement in a federally funded Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) training program as opposed to placement in a more traditional care unit at the same institution. Conflicting results in the literature indicated a need for research on the effects of the program. The progress of 158 moderately, severely, and profoundly retarded subjects living in a state institution was compared with that of 279 control subjects. Profoundly retarded ICF/MR subjects were further divided by number of major physical handicaps. Social Age, as measured by the Vineland Social Maturity Scale, was found to increase significantly for all ICF/MR subjects but for none of the non-ICF/MR conditions. Progress for moderately and severely retarded non-ICF/MR subjects was not significant during the year following an institutional reorganization which attempted to provide equal services to both ICF/MR and non-ICF/MR units. Implications of the significant progress made by profoundly retarded control subjects during this year were questionable. Age at institutionalization, number of years lived in the institution before placement into an ICF/MR unit, and length of time spent in ICF/MR were all found to have no relation to progress. Twelve case studies examined individual response to placement in ICF/MR and some possible reasons for progress or lack thereof. Subjects in the ICF/MR program made significant gains in Social Age as opposed to those living in more traditional care units at the same institution even after improvement of services in the traditional units. No demographic or diagnostic characteristics were found to be predictive of success in the ICF/MR program with the possible exception of the presence of psychosis in addition to a diagnosis of mental retardation.
