What is GAPP?
We Care for Georgia’s Most Special Children
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) helps children from birth through 21 years old with complex medical needs receive skilled care in the comfort of their own home. Children who qualify are those with chronic or complex medical conditions requiring ongoing nursing, therapy, or specialized medical support.
Through GAPP, families gain access to:
• In-home skilled nursing care
• Therapy services (physical, occupational, and speech)
• Essential medical equipment and supplies
• Personalized care plans and ongoing support
This program allows children to thrive in a safe, familiar environment, reduces hospital visits, and gives families peace of mind, knowing their child’s health and development are being carefully managed at home.

What is the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)?
The Georgia Pediatric Program, or GAPP, is a Medicaid program that provides free in-home skilled nursing services for children under 21 who are medically fragile or have chronic medical conditions. The goal is to help families receive the care they need at home rather than in a hospital or long-term facility.
Who qualifies for the GAPP program?
Your child may qualify if they:
- Are under the age of 21
- Are a Georgia Medicaid recipient
- Have a diagnosed medical condition that requires skilled nursing (for example, ventilator support, feeding tubes, severe asthma, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, etc.)
- Live at home or plan to return home from a hospital or rehab facility
Can I apply for GAPP if I’m not sure my child qualifies?
Yes! Many parents don’t realize they’re eligible. Private Home Solutions helps you check your eligibility and complete the application for free. Our team will walk you through every step — no guesswork needed.
