Below is a list of all the adult facilities that CAP visits with day of the month, time and captain.   Therapy Teams must be approved and scheduled by Judith Cosgrove,Upper Cape Visitation Coordinator,or Boni Heleen, Lower Cape Visitation Coordinator.  A Therapy Team must be on the list for the specific facility before any visits are made.   Please do not make any visits on a 'drop in' basis.  

THERAPY TEAM VISITATION INFORMATION

Please note:

All visiting CAP Certified Therapy teams must be vaccinated for COVID 19(Primary series, ie. 2 original Moderna, Pfizer, Novavax, or 1 Johnson & Johnson)   In regard to other COVID precautions, we follow the protocols of the facilities that we visit.  Protocols vary at each facility.

There are a few rules to be followed, and they are contained in the Therapy Team Packet supplied to all new Therapy Teams.   CAP provides a CAP scarf and tag for the pet, and a name tag and royal blue tee shirt for the handler.   These items readily identify the visiting team as members of CAP and must be worn at all CAP approved visits and events.   This is one of the requirements of the insurance CAP provides for its members.   Insurance coverage applies only to members who are visiting CAP approved facilities and only at the time of the regularly scheduled visit. 

It is important for all Therapy Teams to take their commitment to visitations seriously, noting the dates on the calendar and faithfully arriving at designated sites on time.   If you are unable to attend for any particular reason you are asked to call your Captain and/or try to obtain a replacement Therapy Team. 

The Captain will assist with the actual visit, support Therapy Teams, and is the liaison between CAP and the facility.   At the start of a visiting season, the Coordinator and the Captains complete the assignment of old and new Therapy Teams to the site or sites the team has selected.   The Captain contacts his or her sites and confirms the new season's schedule.   Teams generally visit once a month, typically for one hour.   Teams are welcome to request visits at more than one site during the month if they wish by contacting the Upper Cape Visitation Coordinator(Sandwich-Centerville). Judith Cosgrove or the Lower Cape Visitation Coordinator( Yarmouth-Provincetown), Boni Heleen.
