The Community Alternatives Program for Children (CAP/C) is a Medicaid waiver program that serves medically fragile children. Eligibility for CAP/C is based on the income of the child as well as the child’s medical diagnoses. This program was developed as an alternative to institutional care for children with serious medical conditions. The CAP/C program in Wake, Johnston, & Franklin Counties has a team of RN’s who intensively case manage these children so they are able to be cared for at home rather than in an institutional setting. Case Managers work closely with parents and providers to assure that the health, safety, and well-being of these children are being maintained. This includes 24/7 emergency planning with backup plans available. Each child is re-evaluated on an annual basis for continued eligibility.
