Medicaid Program in Atlanta, Georgia

At Custom Living Care, we believe that every child deserves access to the highest quality care—regardless of income or medical condition. That’s why we’re proud to be a trusted provider of the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP), a Medicaid-funded service that offers free pediatric home health care to medically fragile children across Atlanta and the state of Georgia.

If your child needs regular nursing or personal care support due to a chronic illness, disability, or developmental delay, GAPP may be the key to getting the assistance you need at no cost to you.

What Is GAPP?

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid waiver program that provides in-home skilled nursing and personal care services to eligible children under the age of 21. Managed by the Georgia Department of Community Health, GAPP ensures that children with complex medical needs can safely remain at home with their families while still receiving the high-quality care they require.

Custom Living Care is here to help you every step of the way—from determining your child’s eligibility to designing a care plan that aligns with their needs and your family’s goals.

GAPP is especially beneficial for children with:

• Developmental or physical disabilities
