Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) Services in Metro Atlanta

Specialized In-Home Care for Georgia’s Medically Fragile Children

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in the comfort and security of home. Through Georgia’s Pediatric Program (GAPP), eligible children with significant medical needs can receive skilled nursing and personal care services at little or no cost to qualifying families.

At Atlanta House Healthcare Services, we are honored to partner with families throughout Georgia by delivering exceptional pediatric home healthcare that supports each child’s medical needs while preserving their comfort, independence, and quality of life.

Our experienced pediatric caregivers and licensed nurses work closely with physicians, case managers, and families to develop individualized care plans designed specifically for each child’s unique health needs.

What Is the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)?

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid program administered through the Georgia Department of Community Health that provides medically necessary in-home healthcare services for children under the age of 21 who have qualifying medical conditions.

Rather than receiving ongoing care in a hospital or facility, eligible children can receive professional healthcare services in the familiar surroundings of their own home, allowing families to spend more quality time together while ensuring their child receives the care they need.
