The Caregiver Assistance Program (CAP) is a program that provides in-home services to seniors at risk of placement in a nursing facility. CAP is designed to supplement the assistance an individual received from his/her natural support network of family, friends, and neighbors, as well as from community agencies and volunteer groups.
|
Where to Apply
Application for CAP is a two-part process. First, financial eligibility is determined; second, functional eligibility is evaluated.
CAP Eligibility Criteria
- A New Jersey resident age 65 and older, or 21 to 64 and disabled as determined by the Social Security Administration.
- Required a nursing facility level of care but wishes to remain at home.
- Financially eligible for Medicaid or Medicaid Waiver Services.
- U. S. Citizen or a Qualified Alien.
- Has no alternate means to obtain needed support.
- Resides in home or apartment that is not a licensed residence.
Cost
