Residential Care Facility (RCF) Assistance - Overview - Iowa

A residential care facility (RCF) is any institution, place, building, or agency providing for 24 consecutive hours accommodation, board, personal assistance and other essential living activities to three or more individuals not related to the administrator or owner of the facility. These persons are unable to properly care for themselves because of illness, disease or physical infirmity, but they do not require the services of a registered or licensed nurse except on an emergency basis.

In order to receive a State Supplementary Assistance payment, the person must be living in an RCF that is licensed by the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals, and participates in the State Supplementary Assistance programs.

Recipients or RCF assistance may be eligible for Medicaid including retroactive Medicaid.
