Summary
The NC Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) Waiver provides home and community-based services to disabled adults aged 18 and older in North Carolina. It aims to help these individuals avoid institutional care by offering various supports such as in-home aides, meal delivery, respite services, and personal emergency response systems. The waiver promotes consumer-directed services, allowing beneficiaries to hire, supervise, and manage their personal care assistants. Eligibility requires a demonstrated need for institutional-level care and coordination through a CAP/DA case manager.
