CAP/DA Case Management
Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) is a special Medicaid program that can provide a range of services not covered in the regular Medicaid program of North Carolina.
CAP/DA can provide in-home and community-based care for adult Medicaid recipients. The goal is to offer a quality, cost effective alternative to intermediate and skilled care in nursing homes.
CAP/DA services meet the personal care needs of the patient while providing relief to the caregiver / family.
CAP/DA provides quality care to the disabled with emphasis on maintaining their dignity and desire to receive care in the home.

How CAP/DA is Provided
The first step is the determination of Medicaid eligibility by the Perquimans, Pasquotank, Camden, or Currituck Social Services Departments.
A nurse / social worker team assesses the care needs of the client that may be met in a home setting at a cost that is less than what Medicaid would pay for facility care.
Services are arranged with community agencies that provide the kind of care needed by the client.
Either a nurse or social worker is designated as the case manager for each client receiving CAP/DA.
The case manager is responsible for reassessing at least annually the continuing need for CAP/DA services and regularly monitors the care being provided by community agencies.
