Caring for a medically fragile child is a full-time commitment — one that can be both deeply rewarding and physically, emotionally exhausting. For Georgia families navigating this journey, the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) offers a valuable path to skilled, in-home support.
What is GAPP?
GAPP is a Georgia Medicaid program designed to provide medically fragile children with private duty nursing and skilled care in the comfort of their own home, rather than in a hospital or institutional setting.
Who qualifies?
Eligibility generally includes children under 21 who require a level of care that would otherwise be provided in a hospital or skilled nursing facility, and who meet specific medical necessity criteria set by the state.
Why in-home care matters.
Children often heal, grow, and thrive best in familiar surroundings — near siblings, in their own room, on their own schedule. GAPP allows families to keep their child home while still receiving the specialized care they need.
