Frequently asked questions

Is ICFLookup free?
Yes. Every search, facility page and inspection record is free, with no account or sign-up. ICFLookup is independently run and isn't affiliated with the State of California, CDPH or CMS.
What is an ICF?
An Intermediate Care Facility is a health facility licensed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Most California ICFs are small homes for people with developmental disabilities: ICF/DD-H (habilitative), ICF/DD-N (nursing) and ICF/DD-CN (continuous nursing). ICF/DD-H vs. DD-N vs. DD-CN explains the differences.
Where does the data come from?
From official bulk files: CDPH's Licensed and Certified Healthcare Facility Listing (via the CalHHS Open Data Portal), CDPH's State Enforcement Actions data, and CMS's ICF/IID inspection (CMS-2567) and Provider of Services files. How our data works explains each source and how often it is refreshed.
What do W-tags and condition-level deficiencies mean?
A W-tag is the number of a federal ICF/IID requirement a facility was found not to meet on a federal survey. A standard-level deficiency means one requirement was not met; a condition-level deficiency means a whole Condition of Participation was out of compliance, the most serious finding. How to read an ICF inspection has more.
What are Class AA, A and B citations?
State citations CDPH issues under Health and Safety Code §1424. Class AA is a violation that was a substantial factor in a resident's death, Class A is imminent danger or a substantial probability of death or serious harm, and Class B has a direct relationship to residents' health, safety or security. State citations explained.
Why are complaints not listed?
CDPH doesn't publish complaints or facility-reported incidents as a bulk file. They are on each facility's CalHealthFind page, which every facility page here links to. Federal surveys that came from a complaint do appear, with Complaint as the survey type.
What about RCFEs and ARFs?
Residential care homes licensed by the Department of Social Services are on our sister sites: RCFE.io for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly and ARFlookup.com for Adult Residential Facilities.
