Pediatric In-Home Care
What Is GAPP?
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Georgia Medicaid benefit that delivers in-home skilled nursing and personal care for eligible medically fragile children and young adults under age 21. Services are authorized based on medical necessity so kids can receive appropriate care where they’re most comfortable—at home—without unnecessary hospital or facility visits.
For qualifying families in the area, GAPP may include help with skilled care needs, daily living activities, mobility and transfers, feeding, medication support, hygiene, and other services outlined in a child’s individualized plan of care developed with their physician.
Authorizations are tailored to each child. A diagnosis matters, but the documentation must also explain how the condition impacts safety and the ability to complete daily tasks or manage medical needs without assistance.
GAPP Home Care Services in Norcross
At Prestige Health Partners, every care plan is personalized. We collaborate with families, pediatricians, and specialists to align support with the child’s medical conditions, routines, safety considerations, and provider recommendations—whether visits occur near Technology Park, along Jimmy Carter Boulevard, or in neighborhoods by Best Friend Park.
Depending on eligibility and authorization, GAPP home care services may include:
- Personal care assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and hygiene.
- Feeding assistance and support with daily meals.
- Mobility, transfer, repositioning, and wheelchair assistance.
- Medication reminders or medication administration, as authorized.
- Vital-sign monitoring and observation.
- Support with medically necessary daily living tasks.
- Assistance related to physician-directed treatment plans.
- Support for families caring for children with physical, developmental, or medically complex conditions.
Our role is to help families locally access compassionate, consistent care that protects the child’s well-being and eases daily responsibilities for parents and caregivers.
Who May Qualify for GAPP?
Your child may be eligible for GAPP home care if they:
- Are under 21 years old.
- Have active Georgia Medicaid coverage or may qualify for Georgia Medicaid.
- Have a developmental disability, physical disability, chronic condition, or complex medical need.
- Need medically necessary skilled nursing and/or personal care support at home.
- Have current medical documentation and a physician-supported need for services.pamms.dhs.ga+1
Eligibility and service hours are determined through the appropriate Medicaid and prior-authorization process. A GAPP application is not automatically approved based on diagnosis alone; requests must show medical necessity with complete, current supporting documentation.
If you’re unsure how to begin, our team can explain the steps, coordinate with your providers, and help you gather the information needed for review.
Supporting Norcross Families
Families in this part of Gwinnett County benefit from a strong network of pediatric practices, therapy providers, and community programs. Prestige Health Partners can coordinate with your child’s clinicians to extend care between office visits and everyday routines at home.
Many parents receive ongoing care from nearby groups such as Gwinnett Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Northeast Georgia Physicians Group Pediatrics along Holcomb Bridge Road, or other pediatric specialists serving zip codes 30071 and 30092.
When specialty services or hospital-based care are needed, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta locations across metro Atlanta—such as CHOA at Scottish Rite near Sandy Springs and the Center for Advanced Pediatrics off North Druid Hills—connect families with pediatric subspecialists, imaging, and complex care resources.
Gwinnett County Health Department programs support children and families with offerings like Children’s Medical Services coordination and Babies Can’t Wait. The Norcross Health Center on Buford Highway provides referrals and guidance for early intervention and pediatric public health services.
Prestige Health Partners does not replace your child’s pediatrician, specialty team, urgent care, or hospital providers. Our role is to bring authorized, appropriate support into the home so families can manage care confidently between appointments and after hospital discharge.
Why Choose Prestige Health Partners?
Selecting pediatric home care means trusting a team with your child’s health and your family’s daily rhythm. We focus on safe, compassionate support that fits into real life.
A family-first approach
No parent should have to navigate complex processes alone. Our coordinators provide clear updates, respectful communication, and step-by-step help through the GAPP intake so you know what to expect.
Care in a familiar setting
Children thrive where routines feel natural—bedtime in their own room, meals at the kitchen table, schoolwork at the same desk. GAPP services can allow eligible children to receive authorized care at home rather than relying solely on facility visits.
Support for the everyday challenges
Whether it’s help with bathing and feeding, mobility and positioning, or medically directed tasks, our services follow the approved plan of care and adapt to your family’s daily schedule.
How to Get Started With GAPP
Beginning GAPP can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to manage it by yourself.
- Contact Prestige Health Partners. Share your child’s diagnosis, routines, and current providers so we can understand your goals.
- Confirm Medicaid coverage. Because GAPP is funded by Georgia Medicaid, active coverage is essential before services can be authorized.
- Gather current medical documentation. Collect recent physician orders, clinic notes, therapy plans, medication lists, hospital discharge summaries, and related records that show the need for in-home support.
- Complete the intake and authorization process. We will outline forms, timelines, and any additional information the reviewers may request.
- Begin approved home care services. After authorization, we schedule care according to the approved plan and your child’s specific needs.

A Family-Centered Care Process
Choosing an in-home provider requires confidence in both clinical quality and communication. Families should feel comfortable asking about caregiver credentials, scheduling flexibility, documentation, and how the agency responds when needs change.
At Prestige Health Partners, everything starts with listening. We learn your child’s story, routines, and strengths—beyond diagnoses—then design a plan that reflects approved services and your family’s goals.
A typical process may include:
- Initial conversation: Contact Prestige Health Partners to discuss your child’s needs and current circumstances.
- In-home assessment or consultation: We arrange a convenient visit in neighborhoods from Beaver Ruin Road to Technology Parkway to understand care needs and home routines.
- Review of supporting information: This may include Medicaid details, physician orders, therapy notes, and other required records.
- Care-plan development: Parents and guardians collaborate on goals, schedules, and the plan of treatment.
- Authorization and service coordination: Services begin after eligibility, authorization, staffing, and plan requirements are in place.
- Ongoing communication: As needs evolve, families, clinicians, and caregivers stay in close contact so services match the current authorized plan.
Prestige Health Partners notes that intake and evaluation may take up to 30 days for service approval. Timelines can vary based on documentation, Medicaid processing, clinical reviews, and individual circumstances.
Why Families Choose In-Home GAPP Care
For eligible children, GAPP can do more than meet clinical needs—it can support a steady routine that promotes growth, comfort, and peace of mind for parents and caregivers.
Potential benefits of in-home GAPP support include:
- Care delivered where the child feels most at ease—home.
- Services tailored to medically necessary, authorized supports.
- Help with daily routines alongside approved skilled nursing tasks.
- A plan of care shaped by family input and clinical guidance.
- Improved coordination between home services, physicians, therapists, and hospital teams.
- Relief that can ease caregiver strain while keeping parents central to decision-making.
GAPP determinations are based on individual need. Avoid relying on general promises about eligibility or set hours. Prestige Health Partners can explain the application and assessment steps, while state and Medicaid processes determine final authorization.
