Pediatric In-Home Care
What Is GAPP?
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid benefit that funds in-home skilled nursing and personal care for eligible medically fragile children and young adults under 21. Services are based on medical necessity and are designed to provide appropriate care where many children thrive—at home with family and familiar routines.
For qualifying families in this part of metro Atlanta, GAPP can support needs such as skilled nursing tasks, assistance with daily activities, mobility and transfers, feeding support, medication administration or reminders, hygiene, and other services outlined in a physician-directed plan of care.
Authorizations are determined by the child’s individual needs. While diagnoses are considered, documentation must also show how the condition affects safety, day-to-day functioning, and the ability to manage medical tasks without proper assistance.

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.
- Help with mobility, safe transfers, repositioning, and wheelchair use.
- Medication reminders or medication administration, as authorized.

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.
- Require 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 Medicaid prior-authorization process. An application is not approved solely because of a diagnosis; it must demonstrate medical necessity with complete, up-to-date documentation.
If you’re unsure about eligibility, our local team can explain next steps, which records are helpful, and how to navigate the process from initial screening through authorization—whether you live near Technology Park, Spalding Drive, or ZIP codes 30092 and 30071.

When advanced diagnostics or specialty care is required, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta provides pediatric expertise across the region, including CHOA at Scottish Rite off I‑285/GA‑400 and CHOA at Hughes Spalding near downtown Atlanta. Their teams help families connect with cardiology, neurology, pulmonology, and other pediatric subspecialties.

- Ongoing communication: As needs change, families, clinicians, and caregivers stay in close contact so services remain aligned with the authorized plan.
