I-CAR Community Assessment Tool recommended for Assisted Living and all post acute care settings.
Please see the below important information related to COVID-19 response.
The Department of Health I-CAR program uses the tele-ICAR tool developed by the CDC to help long term care and assisted living facilities respond to COVID-19 by evaluating the status of their current response activities. This VOLUNTARY tool is intended to be self-administered by LTC and assisted living facilities. Findings from the assessment can be used to target facility-specific infection prevention and control preparedness and containment activities.
n addition, I-CAR offers virtual consults to facilities to support infection prevention and control activities. To request a one-hour scheduled consultative appointment, complete the tele-ICAR tool and check the box requesting a consult.
