The Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) provides a package of services to allow adults (age 18 and older) who qualify for nursing facility care to remain in their private residences. The program is available in all North Carolina counties. The program contributes to the quality of the participants and their families/caregivers, while providing care that is cost-effective in comparison to the Medicaid cost for nursing facility care.
For service requirements, coverage criteria and limitations, refer to 3K-2, Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults and Choice Option (CAP/DA-Choice) (PDF, 150 KB).
DMA has been directed by the N.C. General Assembly to freeze slots in the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) in order to meet the budget reduction goals for SFY 2010 and 2011.
