Caring for a child with complex medical needs can be emotionally, physically, and financially overwhelming. In Georgia, families don’t have to face this journey alone. The Georgia Pediatric Program for Children (GAPP), funded through Georgia Medicaid, provides essential in-home care services that help medically fragile children receive the support they need—right where they belong: at home.

At Charin Health Services, we proudly partner with families across Georgia to deliver compassionate, reliable care through the Medicaid GAPP program.

What Is Medicaid GAPP?

Medicaid GAPP is a state-funded program designed to support children under the age of 21 who have significant medical conditions or disabilities. The program allows eligible children to receive skilled nursing and personal care services in their home instead of institutional settings such as hospitals or long-term care facilities.

Unlike many assistance programs, GAPP focuses on the child’s medical condition, not household income, making it an invaluable resource for families who might otherwise struggle to afford ongoing care.

Who Can Benefit from GAPP?

Children who qualify for Medicaid GAPP often have conditions that require continuous medical monitoring or hands-on assistance. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Complex chronic illnesses
• Neurological or developmental conditions
• Dependence on medical equipment or tube feedings
• Respiratory or gastrointestinal disorders
• Mobility limitations requiring daily assistance

Eligibility is determined through Georgia Medicaid, and once approved, families can choose a trusted provider like Charin Health Services to deliver care.

Services Covered Under Medicaid GAPP

Through Medicaid GAPP, Charin Health Services provides individualized care plans that may include:

• Skilled pediatric nursing care
• Vital signs monitoring
• Medication administration
• Tube feedings and nutritional support
• Wound care and IV therapies
• Assistance with daily living activities
• Family education and caregiver support

Every service is tailored to the child’s medical needs, family routine, and comfort level—because no two children are the same.

Why In-Home Care Matters

Home-based pediatric care offers benefits that go far beyond convenience. Children receiving care in familiar surroundings often experience:

• Reduced hospital admissions and ER visits
• Better emotional and psychological well-being
• Improved developmental progress
• Stronger family involvement in care decisions

For parents and caregivers, GAPP provides peace of mind—knowing their child is safe, supported, and cared for by trained professionals.
