Georgia Pediatric Program - GAPP
Sharing life with you and your loved ones and providing care like family!
What is the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)?
One of our foundational programs is participating in the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) specifically designed to aid parents with assistance of the basic and fundamental everyday needs. This Medicaid-funded program specializes in skilled and unskilled private In-Home Care for children under 21 years of age based on medical necessity determination. Medicaid is a medical assistance program that helps many people who can’t afford medical care pay for some or all of their medical bills. Medicaid is administered by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) and pays medical bills with State and Federal tax money.
The great thing about this program is there is NO WAIT LIST.​
