An audit by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor (LLA), of intermediate care facilities for individuals with developmental disabilities (ICFs) found major deficiencies related to abuse and neglect. The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) monitors ICF compliance with requirements through periodic inspection surveys. LDH conducts an initial survey when an ICF opens, then conducts a recertification survey at least once every 15 months.
