Yes — CAP/DA is NC's Medicaid HCBS waiver for adults needing a nursing-facility level of care who wish to remain at home, and its covered services explicitly include home modifications and equipment (such as ramps, grab bars, or other accessibility changes) alongside in-home aide services, adult day health, meal preparation, respite care, and consumer-directed care options, administered through NC Medicaid with local CAP/DA case management coordinating services by county.
The detail behind the program
Holly Springs' newer master-planned neighborhoods often feature two-story homes not originally built with aging-in-place accessibility in mind, so a wheelchair ramp, widened doorways, or a roll-in shower can become a real barrier to a parent safely remaining at home rather than moving to a facility. CAP/DA's home-modifications-and-equipment benefit exists specifically to address that gap for Medicaid-eligible beneficiaries who meet the nursing-facility level-of-care requirement, funded and coordinated through local CAP/DA case management in Wake County. Because the waiver has a defined menu of covered services and an individualized care plan process, the specific scope and dollar limits of a home modification benefit for a Holly Springs applicant would be determined during the CAP/DA assessment and care-planning process, not guaranteed as an unlimited benefit.
