In-Home Support for Families Managing Complex Pediatric Care

We help families explore in-home skilled nursing and personal care support through the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP), with care centered on the child’s authorized needs and the family’s real daily routine.

Pediatric In-Home Care
Helping Children Thrive at Home
A hospital visit, specialist appointment, or therapy session is only one part of a child’s care. For many Suwanee families, the more challenging work happens at home: maintaining routines, helping with personal care, following medical instructions, monitoring changes, and making sure a child receives the support they need each day.
Prestige Health Partners provides home-based support for children and young adults under 21 who may have developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, chronic health conditions, or medically complex needs. Our goal is to help eligible families access care that promotes comfort, dignity, safety, and continuity at home.
We work alongside the family’s existing healthcare team. Prestige Health Partners does not replace a child’s pediatrician, specialist, therapist, emergency department, or hospital care team. Instead, authorized GAPP services can help support the child’s approved plan of care between appointments and during everyday life at home.
What Is the Georgia Pediatric Program?
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Georgia Medicaid program that provides medically necessary in-home skilled nursing care and/or personal care support for eligible medically fragile children and young adults under age 21. Services must be supported by medical necessity and are subject to the applicable assessment and authorization process.
For eligible Suwanee families, GAPP can make it possible for a child to receive approved care in a familiar environment while parents and guardians remain closely involved in care planning and routines.
GAPP is not a standard babysitting or housekeeping program. It is a pediatric home-care option for children whose documented medical condition and care needs support skilled nursing and/or personal care services at home.
GAPP Services for Suwanee Families
Every GAPP plan is individualized. The care services, frequency, and approved hours depend on your child’s condition, physician orders, clinical documentation, medical necessity, and authorization.
Depending on the child’s approved plan of care, services may include:
- Assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene.
- Feeding support and assistance with meals.
- Mobility, repositioning, transfer, and wheelchair assistance.
- Medication-related support or administration when authorized.
- Vital-sign monitoring, observation, and reporting of changes.
- Support with physician-directed treatment plans.
- Help with medically necessary activities of daily living.
- In-home skilled nursing and personal care support that reflects the child’s documented needs.
The best way to determine what type of support may be appropriate is to discuss your child’s current needs, physician recommendations, and Georgia Medicaid status with our team.
Care Coordination Between Appointments
Suwanee families often travel throughout Gwinnett County and North Metro Atlanta for pediatric care. A child may see a local primary-care provider, attend therapy, receive outpatient testing, or visit specialty providers in surrounding communities such as Johns Creek, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Buford, or Atlanta.
For example, Johns Creek Pediatrics operates a Suwanee office at 4395 Johns Creek Parkway, providing a local primary-care option for children and adolescents.
For children who need specialty pediatric services, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta offers pediatric specialty care across the Atlanta area. The health system provides a broad range of pediatric medical and procedural services, and its care network includes locations that may be accessible to Suwanee and Gwinnett County families.
Nearby hospital resources identified by the City of Suwanee include Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville and Emory Johns Creek Hospital in Johns Creek.
Prestige Health Partners does not claim an affiliation with these facilities. However, we understand that families may need consistent support at home before, between, and after visits with their child’s established providers. Authorized GAPP services can help families maintain their child’s approved day-to-day care plan in the home setting.
Support for School-Age Children
For school-age children with special health care needs, medical care is often only one part of the broader support picture. Families may also be managing IEP meetings, school accommodations, therapy coordination, attendance concerns, transportation, and communication across multiple providers.
Gwinnett County Public Schools offers family resources and parent-engagement support for students with disabilities, including a Parent Mentor resource. Georgia also provides statewide special-education resources related to parent rights, IDEA compliance, and services for students with disabilities.
GAPP home care is separate from school-based special education services. However, a reliable home-care plan can support the child’s health and daily care routine outside the classroom, helping families better manage the transition between school, appointments, therapies, and home.
Who May Be Eligible for GAPP?
Your child may be eligible for GAPP home care in Suwanee if they:
- Are under 21 years of age.
- Have active Georgia Medicaid coverage or may be eligible for Georgia Medicaid.
- Are medically fragile or have a documented condition requiring in-home support.
- Need medically necessary skilled nursing and/or personal care services.
- Have physician orders and current clinical documentation that support the request for care.pamms.dhs.ga+2
A medical diagnosis by itself does not automatically establish eligibility. The request should clearly document your child’s current care needs, the tasks required at home, the frequency of those needs, and why skilled nursing or personal care support is medically necessary.
If you are unsure whether your child may qualify, Prestige Health Partners can help you understand the general process and identify the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my child receive GAPP home care in Suwanee?
Yes. GAPP is available statewide to eligible children and young adults, including families in Suwanee and Gwinnett County. Approval depends on active Georgia Medicaid coverage, age, medical necessity, current documentation, and the authorization process.
Can GAPP home care help after specialty appointments?
GAPP services are not a substitute for specialty care or follow-up instructions from a physician. However, when in-home services are authorized, they can support the child’s approved care plan between pediatrician, therapy, specialty, outpatient, or hospital appointments.
Does Prestige Health Partners work with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta or Northside Hospital Gwinnett?
Prestige Health Partners does not claim a formal affiliation with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Northside Hospital Gwinnett, Emory Johns Creek Hospital, or any other facility named on this page. Families may continue care with their established providers while receiving authorized GAPP services at home.
What if my child has an IEP or receives special education services?
School-based services and GAPP home care serve different purposes. An IEP addresses educational supports, while GAPP addresses approved medically necessary skilled nursing and/or personal care needs. Families may use both types of support when appropriate to their child’s individual circumstances.
Does a diagnosis automatically qualify my child for GAPP?
No. A diagnosis may be part of the application, but it does not automatically result in approval. The request must document medical necessity and explain the child’s specific need for skilled nursing and/or personal care at home.
