What Is GAPP?

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid-funded service that gives medically fragile children the care they need at home. It’s for kids under 21 with complex medical needs. Instead of staying in hospitals or institutions, children can receive skilled nursing or personal care where they’re most comfortable—at home. This helps families stay together and gives children a better quality of life. GAPP covers services like private-duty nursing and certified nursing assistants (CNAs). These services are based on each child’s unique medical needs.
