To qualify for GAPP services, your child must:

  • Be under the age of 21.

  • Georgia Medicaid coverage

  • Medical or developmental disabilities requiring skilled nursing or personal care at home

  • Doctor’s documentation confirming medical need

If your child meets these requirements, they may qualify for free in-home care services. The program is not a waiver service, meaning there is no waiting list — your child can begin receiving care immediately after approval.

Our company is committed to providing quality service promptly so your child can start receiving care without delay. We ensure a smooth evaluation process, allowing your child to receive care as soon as approval is granted.

No Out-of-Pocket Cost: Medicaid covers all services under the GAPP program, so there is no financial burden for your family.

  • Immediate Service: With no waitlist, your child can begin receiving care immediately after approval.

  • Parent Involvement: You are directly involved in the development of your child’s care plan, ensuring their needs and goals are met.
