The percent of people with developmental disabilities and low needs who receive services in an Intermediate Care Facility for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (ICF/DD) has decreased.
To help track progress, counties that are similar in population size are grouped together and called a "cohort." Cohort 5 includes the largest Minnesota counties.
It is important to use less expensive services for people with lower needs. As the number of people receiving services in an ICF/DD increases, the cost of providing the services increases. People have more control over their services in home and community-based settings, which promote their independence. There is less opportunity to control one's services in institutions.
The number of people served in ICFs/DD who have low needs.
A lower percent is better because it means there are fewer people with low needs served in institutions.
The number of people with developmental disabilities served in ICFs/DD with low needs divided by the total number of people with developmental disabilities living in ICFs/DD.
