Public ICF/MR (Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded) Programs are available at the Northern and Southern Oklahoma Resource Center.
Individuals who meet the ICF/MR level of care requirement may be admitted to the public ICFs/MR for residential services when their individual circumstances indicate that placement in a public ICF/MR is the least restrictive, most appropriate residential environment available.
Continued eligibility for appropriateness of services is addressed by the interdisciplinary team during annual development of the Individualized Habilitation Plan (IHP). Continuation of services is authorized by the Area Manager upon review of findings of the interdisciplinary team.
Otherwise eligible individuals who are able to receive services that meet their needs in less restrictive environments than a state-operated facility are not eligible for admission. This policy does not preclude the provision of respite services or other emergency interventions that may require that individuals reside at the resource centers for a time-limited period.
Individuals residing at either the Northern or Southern Oklahoma Resource Center are exempt from this admissions policy provided that each individual continues to meet ICF/MR level of care requirements, and each individual's legal representative formally elects to continue the individual's residence at the facility. Should current residents of the resource centers elect to seek community services, they will be maintained on trial leave status until such time as the consumers and their legal representatives are satisfied with the alternative program.
DDSD also operates the Robert M. Greer Center in Enid. This specialized residential facility serves people who have both mental retardation and mental illness.
People may move from the resource centers when adequate community-based supports are in place as certified by the individual's interdisciplinary team. Parents/guardians are automatic members of the individual's interdisciplinary team.
