Our services
Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, this fully-licensed inpatient unit offers evaluation and treatment for a variety of medical conditions. Supported by in-house radiology, pharmacy, physical therapy services, and 24 hour physician supervision, the ICF provides Yale Health Plan (YHP) members with timely and responsive care for a variety of medical issues.
The ICF is a unique facility, providing state-of-the-art medical treatment and therapies, in a restful and caring environment. Our services include:
- Admission for continued care of patients transferred from the hospital after surgery or serious illness, allowing for smoother transition from hospital to home
- Admission directly from any YHP clinic or from the Urgent Care Department for further evaluation, diagnosis or treatment for a range of common medical problems
- Outpatient procedures (i.e. the administration of intravenous medication) which require skilled medical services but not an overnight stay
- Oncology services, including the administration of chemotherapy
- Physical therapy for inpatients
Coordinated care
A health care team consisting of our staff physicians and PA's, nurses, medical assistants and other appropriate specialty clinicians will work with you and your family, or others you designate, to design a plan of care. In addition, if your condition requires specialized services such as dietary planning or physical therapy, YHP staff from those areas will also be involved. YHP Care Coordination will help coordinate care that may be required when you return home, and will assist with scheduling follow-up appointments, transferring medical records and other tasks essential to your full recovery.
Dietary Considerations
A menu from which you can make selections is available for each meal. If your medical condition requires a special diet, your food will be prepared in accordance with those instructions.
Visiting Hours
Visiting hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. every day. We make every effort to accommodate special circumstances.
Representatives of many faiths are available for consultation and counseling upon request.
Admission to the ICF
Patients are admitted to the ICF from either the hospital, Urgent Care or home, and admission must be authorized by a YHP clinician. While you are in the ICF your care will be managed by our staff physicians and PA's.
