i am unable to go out of the house (total knee replacement) and my orchid has flowers falling. I was told to water with an ice cube. Now how do I care for the orchid to get flowers again?

They are very hard to keep happy. They like constant temperatures, humidity and indirect sun. I would recommend you look on line for the type of orchid you have and see what they say about how to keep it going.
Google the specific type of orchids for the best care results.
Here are some general orchids sites to get you started.

Not sure on watering in your. Country as I live on England. But I water once a month from the bottom, so I let mine soak in the water for two hours then empty.
I cut off any stems that have finished flowering down to the lowest notch. I find they don't like full sun, mine flourish in a cooler room. Sometimes it's about find where they are happy, if it doesn't thrive in one spot, move it.
