Overview of Oakwood Icf/iid, Unit 1

Oakwood ICF/IID, Unit 1 is a 57-bed state-operated facility at 2441 South Highway 27 in Somerset, Kentucky. Owned by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and opened in 1972, this campus serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through residential care and habilitative training.

As an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID), Oakwood operates under a distinct regulatory framework and does not carry a CMS nursing home star rating. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services oversees inspections. For its most recent focused infection control survey, the facility maintained a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This setting focuses on long-term residential support rather than the elder care or post-acute rehabilitation models typical of standard nursing homes.

The facility provides a life-span support model that includes specialized residential housing, day services, and supported employment. Therapeutic resources encompass on-site rehabilitation, psychology, and occupational therapy. Programs are designed to foster self-determination and maximize opportunities for choice and goal-setting. Medicaid is the primary funding source for these services.

Residents have access to community integration programming and 24-hour nursing oversight. The campus model includes structured habilitation to assist individuals in achieving self-management and vocational milestones. Since residential placement and per diem rates for state-operated facilities are managed through the Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (DBHDID), specific monthly fee schedules should be requested directly from the administration.

Those evaluating residential options for intellectual or developmental disabilities should contact the facility and the Kentucky DBHDID to discuss eligibility, current unit availability, and community-based waiver alternatives before making a placement decision.
