General Questions
How do I know the items in my iCare order are permitted in my loved one’s facility?
All iCare Package and iCare Fresh meals have been pre-approved by the facility, so you can rest assured that your gift will be delivered!
Are all the items in my order guaranteed to be included?
All products are subject to change or substitution. The images associated with your order are only a representation of what is available. The descriptions are subject to substitution based on limitations placed on the recipient. Due to availability and the ability to obtain different products in different regions of the country, it may be necessary to substitute different product(s) of the same kind. All substitutions will be of equal or greater value.
How many iCare gifts can I send?
Each facility serviced by iCare outlines their protocols for the amount of gifts that can be purchased or delivered in a given time period. Though many facilities will allow you to purchase more than one iCare gift at a time, we encourage you to review the delivery schedule on the iCare order page or contact our iCare Support Team at (877) 615-3296 for specific details about your loved one's facility.

Payment & Checkout Questions

Do you accept prepaid credit cards as a form of payment?
Yes, however you must first call (or visit the website of) the prepaid credit card company to register a billing address for the credit card. The iCare site always validates a billing address as an added security measure, so you will need to add that before attempting to use the prepaid card as a form of payment.
