Overview of Wendell Foster’s Campus for Developmental Disabili

Wendell Foster’s Campus for Developmental Disabilities is a 64-bed Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) at 815 Triplett Street in Owensboro, Kentucky. Serving Daviess County for nearly 80 years, the nonprofit organization specializes in individualized supports and therapeutic training for residents.

As an ICF/IID, the facility operates under a distinct regulatory framework from standard nursing homes and does not carry a CMS star rating. A significant compliance indicator is its record of no civil money penalties or payment denials over the past three years. The facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of 0.0 based on its most recent COVID-19 Focused Emergency Preparedness survey.

The campus supports individuals through a person-centered model, consisting of residential homes that emphasize community integration and active treatment. Services include 24/7 nursing support, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and behavior supports. The campus also offers community training, transportation, and assistive technology resources.

Activities are designed to foster social inclusion, featuring the Aktion Club—a Kiwanis-affiliated social program, and various community outings. The campus operates within the Kentucky Medicaid Home and Community Based Waiver framework, offering alternatives to traditional residential placement. Since specific residential fee structures are often individualized under Medicaid, families should request current program eligibility and cost details directly from the administration.

Families seeking long-standing, mission-driven support for intellectual and developmental disabilities may find this environment appropriate. Those evaluating the campus should contact the point of entry directly to discuss residential availability and the range of community-based support services before making a placement decision.
