COMMUNITY ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (CAP)
The Community Alternatives Program (CAP) helps eligible adults with disabilities remain safely in their own homes rather than entering a long-term care facility. CAP services are designed to provide the support individuals need to live independently while maintaining choice, dignity, and control over their daily lives and care decisions.
Through CAP, participants receive personalized services that support health, safety, and overall well-being while allowing them to remain in familiar surroundings. Services are tailored to meet individual needs and are coordinated to promote independence and quality of life.
