Living-at-Home

The Living-at-Home Program

Adults living with disabilities who are Medicaid eligible have special concerns and often need assistance at home with daily activities like eating, dressing, bathing, transferring (walking), toileting, and other routine tasks. With help from Senior Services’ Living-at-Home program, through the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA or CAP/Choice), disabled adults can remain at home and receive the nourishment and care they need to live with dignity.

Who Is Eligible?

CAP/DA and CAP/Choice are available to individuals age 65 and older and disabled adults age 18 and older.

To be eligible for either CAP/DA or CAP/Choice, someone must

  • Be Medicaid eligible
  • Need a level of care equivalent to that of a skilled nursing facility
  • Have a home situation in which his or her health, safety and well-being can be assured

Additional requirements must also be met for CAP/Choice eligibility.

Here’s what recipients say about the Living-at-Home program:

“My father is not able to stay alone. Senior Services provides the services so that we can work and keep my father at home. My social worker stays on top of his needs and comes through in crucial times. Thanks to all of you!”

“Senior Services has helped me very much in getting the care and services my mom needs to stay home with us. They have provided us with a variety of equipment to have our home comfortable and accessible for her. You guys are wonderful people and you have a great staff. Thank you very much.”
