What is the Community Alternatives Program – Children (CAP/C)?

CAP/C is a Medicaid program in North Carolina that helps medically fragile children get the care they need at home instead of in a hospital or long-term care facility. It’s for kids who qualify for Medicaid and need a high level of care to stay safe and healthy in their own communities. CAP/C services work alongside the support families already provide (like help from parents, relatives, or other caregivers) to make sure children can live at home and avoid institutional care. It’s all about keeping families together and giving kids the chance to thrive in familiar surroundings.

CAP/C is an NC Medicaid Home and Community-based Services (HCBS) program authorized under section1915(c) of the Social Security Act and complies with 42 CFR § 440.180, Home and Community-based Waiver Services.

Both participants (employers) and caregivers (employees) have lots of timekeeping to do when working in a self-direction program.
