GAPP pays for skilled nursing and personal support, delivered right to your door, at zero cost to your family. No waiting. No stress. Just care that shows up.
HomeLogics Healthcare is an approved GAPP provider serving families across Georgia.
GAPP is a Georgia Medicaid program. It pays for skilled nursing and personal care for medically fragile children under 21. Care happens at home, not in a hospital or nursing facility. Families pay nothing out of pocket.
GAPP is a state plan service, not a waiver. Approval depends on your child's medical need, not your income.
We guide families through every step, from your first phone call to your child's first nursing visit. Our team handles the paperwork so you can focus on your child.
Georgia sets four basic requirements for GAPP. Meeting every one is what makes your child eligible for in-home nursing and personal care.
Your child must be under 21 years old to be eligible for the program.
Your child must already have active Georgia Medicaid coverage.
Your child must need skilled nursing or personal care to stay safely at home.
A doctor must order the nursing or personal care your child receives before GAPP can approve it.
A medically fragile child needs ongoing medical support to stay safe at home. This often includes children who rely on a ventilator, feeding tube, or tracheostomy. It also includes children with seizure disorders or complex conditions that need a trained nurse nearby.
Families often search by diagnosis, not by program name. These frequently qualify:
These three programs get confused often. Here is how they compare — and why GAPP stands apart for ongoing pediatric medical need.
| Feature | GAPP | Katie Beckett Waiver | CCSP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of program | State plan service (not a waiver) | A true Medicaid waiver, also called the Deeming Waiver | A separate Medicaid waiver |
| Who it covers | Medically fragile children under 21 who already have Medicaid | Children under 18 who need nursing-home-level care | Adults age 65 and older, or disabled adults — not children |
| Income considered? | Approval depends only on medical need | Covers children regardless of the parent's income | Built for qualifying adults |
| Waitlist? | No waitlist — immediate access after approval | Can carry a waitlist depending on available slots | Can carry a waitlist |
| Cost to families | Nothing once approved | Nothing once approved | Nothing once approved |
All three cost families nothing once approved, but GAPP is the only one built specifically around ongoing pediatric medical need with immediate access after approval.
GAPP covers three levels of care based on what your child needs.
Being a paid family caregiver is a separate option under GAPP. It covers personal care only. Your child must still medically qualify for GAPP.
If you are unsure, we can walk you through what fits your family.Many agencies offer GAPP care. Few offer it with real local support. We answer calls fast, match families with nurses who live nearby, and stay reachable around the clock. Our nurses know your community, not a call center in another state.
We keep a live on-call nurse line open day and night, so support is always one phone call away.
We help directly with Medicaid paperwork and prior authorization, checking every form before it goes out.
We build every care plan around your child instead of a template, and match you with nurses who live nearby.
Ask your child's doctor for an order for skilled nursing or personal care.
Make sure your child's Georgia Medicaid coverage is active before applying.
Choose a GAPP-approved provider, like HomeLogics Healthcare, approved to deliver these services.
Complete prior authorization, where your provider submits the paperwork Georgia Medicaid requires for approval.
Timelines vary by case, but most families hear back within a few weeks of a complete application. Missing paperwork is the most common delay, which is why we check every form before it goes to Medicaid.
Once approved, your GAPP nurse or aide begins visits based on your child's care plan. We schedule your first visit quickly, since GAPP has no waitlist once your child qualifies. Your care plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted as your child's needs change.
No. GAPP has no waitlist. Once your child is approved, care can start right away. This sets GAPP apart from many other Medicaid waiver programs in Georgia.
