Every child deserves the chance to thrive — no matter how complex their medical needs. At Charin Health Services, we specialize in providing comprehensive pediatric home health care throughout Georgia, with a focus on medically fragile children and their families. Our goal is simple: help your child live their healthiest and happiest life right in the comfort of home.

What Makes Pediatric Care Unique?

Children are not just “small adults.” Their bodies, minds, and emotional needs are fundamentally different — requiring specialized attention that considers growth, development, and family dynamics. Pediatric home health care bridges the gap between hospital-based treatment and home life, making healthcare more accessible, familiar, and effective for young patients.

Introducing the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)

One of the cornerstones of our pediatric services is the Georgia Pediatric Program for Children (GAPP) — a Medicaid/Katie Beckett initiative that provides no-cost nursing and care services for medically fragile kids under the age of 21.

Through GAPP, eligible families receive tailored care plans designed around the unique medical and personal needs of each child. This often includes skilled nursing, personal care support, and more — all delivered safely and compassionately in the child’s home.

How GAPP Helps Families

  • Free or Low-Cost Care – Services are funded through Medicaid or the Katie Beckett Waiver, which focuses exclusively on the child’s needs rather than parental income.
  • Personalized Support – Every care plan is customized with input from families and healthcare professionals, ensuring the right level of care every step of the way.
  • Comfort of Home – Children receive medical support without the stress and disruption of frequent hospital visits.

What Pediatric Home Care Looks Like

At Charin Health Services, our pediatric nursing team is more than medically trained — they’re compassionate partners in your child’s health journey. Typical services include:

The Bigger Picture: Why In-Home Pediatric Care Matters

Delivering care at home doesn’t just treat symptoms — it improves overall quality of life for children and families alike. Pediatric home care:

  • Reduces hospital stays and emergency visits
  • Enhances recovery in a familiar environment
  • Strengthens family involvement in care
  • Supports emotional and developmental wellness

This family-centered approach recognizes that parents and caregivers are crucial partners in care — empowering them with skills, confidence, and resources.
