The CAP (Community
Alternatives Program) for Persons with Mental
Retardation/Developmental Disabilities (CAP-MR/DD) is a
special Medicaid program for people with mental
retardation/developmental disabilities. CAP-MR/DD
allows these individuals the opportunity to be served in the
community instead of residing in an institutional or group
home setting.
CAP-MR/DD services include:
-
Home & Community Supports:
The intent of the Home & Community Supports program is
to provide instruction and assistance to enable the
individual to acquire and
maintain skills that will allow him/her to function with
greater independence in the community.
-
Personal Care Services: Personal Care Services include support, supervision and
engaging participation with eating, bathing, dressing,
personal hygiene and other activities of daily living.
Personal Care Services also includes assistance with
monitoring health status and physical condition.
-
Respite: Respite care is a
service that provides temporary relief for the family or
primary caregiver. Respite care may be used for
circumstances such as family emergencies,
business trips, vacations,
or to allow the caregiver to take a break from the daily
routine and stress.
-
Residential Support: The
intent of this service is to meet the needs of
individuals living in licensed residential settings or
unlicensed alternative family living homes (AFL).
Residential Supports provide 24-hour supervision and
training or improvement in daily activities such as
laundry, routine household care, personal grooming,
cleanliness, shopping, meal preparation, money
management, socialization, and leisure activities.
