Community Alternative Program for Disabled Adults - CAP/DA Program
The CAP/DA program is a special Medicaid Program under the Community Care Section of the Division of Medical Assistance. The program makes care at home a real possibility for many people who face nursing home placement. CAP/DA exists to supplement rather than replace the formal and informal services and support already available to an individual.
CAP/DA is for an individual 18 years of age and older who:
- Are eligible for Medicaid;
- Lives in a private residence and is at risk of being placed in a nursing facility and desires to stay in their home;
- Requires nursing facility care as determined through the Medicaid prior approval process;
- Needs CAP/DA services to remain safely at home;
- Can have his or her health, safety, and well-being maintained at home with the Medicaid cost limit; and
- Desires CAP/DA services instead of institutional care.
