What is the Community Care Authorization Portal?
The Community Care Authorization Portal (CCAP) is a new online system that allows you to easily apply for and receive authorization to provide care for a loved one in your community. CCAP replaces the Aging & Disability Services Program (ADSP) application and approval process. CCAP is available to anyone who wants to provide care for someone who is aging or has a disability.
To use CCAP, you will need your Social Security number, your loved one's Social Security number, and your state's CCAP ID number. You can also use CCAP if you are the child or grandchild of someone who is authorized to provide care for a loved one. If you are the parent or legal guardian of someone who is authorized to provide care for a loved one, you can use CCAP to create or update an authorized person profile. You can also use CCAP to find information about community resources that could be helpful in providing care for your loved one.
Once you have registered on CCAP, you will be able to access your account by clicking on the "My Account" link in the top right-hand corner of the CCAP home page. On My Account, you will be able to: view

How to Apply for a Home Health Care Directive through the Community Care Authorization Portal?
If you are an individual with a disability who needs assistance with daily living, or if you are caring for someone who does, you may need a home health care directive. This document authorizes someone to provide necessary personal care and services in your home. The Community Care Authorization Portal (CCAP) is the online application process for getting a home health care directive.
To apply for a CCAP through the portal, you will need the following information: your name, date of birth, contact information (including email address), and medical information. You can also provide a description of your needs and preferences.
Once you have completed the CCAP application, you will need to upload supporting documentation, including a physician’s statement confirming that you have a disability and require personal care services in your home. The CCAP team will review your application and contact you to discuss next steps.
If you are approved for a CCAP through the portal, your representative will be notified of your approval and can start providing services as soon as possible. If you are not approved for a CCAP through the portal, there are other options available to you. For more information on getting a CCAP, please visit their website or call their office
