Atlanta, Ga. - As healthcare needs evolve for medically fragile children in Atlanta, in-home pediatric care — especially services supported by the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) — is emerging as a critical lifeline for families seeking professional, personalized care at home. Providers like Custom Living Care are reporting rising interest in GAPP-based services as more parents pursue care pathways that prioritize comfort, continuity of care, and long-term health outcomes for children with complex medical needs.
Why now? Families of children with chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities, or medically complex conditions are increasingly opting for in-home pediatric care — a shift supported not only by parental preference but also by policy advancements and market growth. Georgia’s GAPP initiative allows eligible families to receive trained nursing and personal care support in the home at no cost, helping reduce hospital dependence, lower healthcare stress, and improve life quality.
“Parents want expertise and peace of mind for their children — and in-home pediatric care through programs like GAPP delivers that,” said a spokesperson for Custom Living Care. “Children thrive where they feel safest — surrounded by family, in familiar spaces with professional support tailored to their needs.”
GAPP: A Core Support Structure for Pediatric Home Care
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) — managed by the Georgia Department of Community Health — provides Medicaid-funded skilled nursing and personal care services for medically fragile children under 21. Services available under GAPP include vital sign monitoring, medication management, feeding support (including tracheostomy and feeding tube care), mobility aid, daily living assistance, wound care, and other medically necessary procedures delivered by trained providers in the home.
Families can apply for GAPP services any time through approved providers. Many benefit from immediate access to care that dramatically reduces hospital stays and emergency room use while helping children maintain developmental routines without interruption.
“GAPP can transform family life,” the Custom Living Care spokesperson added. “It not only offers critical medical support but also restores dignity and stability to everyday life for parents and children alike.”
