Common Questions
Frequently asked about this service.
GAPP is a Georgia Medicaid waiver program that funds in-home skilled nursing and support services for children and young adults with complex medical needs who would otherwise require institutional care. Eligibility is based on medical complexity, age, and Medicaid enrollment. Core Health Group can conduct a free eligibility screening to determine if your child qualifies before any services begin.
Yes. For medically eligible children who require ventilator support or tracheostomy management, GAPP can fund skilled nursing hours at home to manage these needs safely. Our licensed nurses are trained in pediatric ventilator management and work directly with the child's pulmonologist and care team to ensure safe, continuous care at home.
The process begins with a free intake inquiry — you can submit online or call (678) 536-6668.
