What is the GAPP Program?

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a state-funded initiative providing free in-home personal care for children with medical needs. Designed for children under 21 with Medicaid, GAPP ensures they receive professional, compassionate care in the comfort of their own homes. This program supports families by assisting with everyday activities, promoting independence, and enhancing the quality of life for children with special medical needs.

Why is GAPP so Important?

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) bridges the gap many families face in finding appropriate in-home care for children requiring assistance. By offering essential support, GAPP ensures children can continue to thrive at home rather than in a healthcare facility. This program empowers parents and guardians to focus on their child’s health, comfort, and happiness without the added stress of financial burdens.
