Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) Provider | First Choice Home Care Agency

First Choice Home Care Agency is a certified GAPP provider offering compassionate, skilled pediatric nursing care to medically fragile children across Metro Atlanta. Our nurses are trained to care for children with complex medical needs in the comfort and safety of home, giving families peace of mind and children the individualized attention they deserve.

What Is the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)?

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) provides in-home skilled nursing services to children under age 21 who are medically fragile or technology-dependent and require a level of care that would otherwise be provided in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. GAPP allows children to receive that same level of nursing care at home, alongside their families.

Pediatric Skilled Nursing Services We Provide

  • Private duty nursing for medically fragile and technology-dependent children
  • Tracheostomy and ventilator care
  • Feeding tube (G-tube / NG-tube) management and care
  • Medication administration and complex monitoring
  • Seizure monitoring and clinical management
  • Post-hospitalization and NICU transition care
  • Care coordination with pediatricians, specialized clinics, and care coordinators

A Note for Parents

We know that trusting someone to care for your child in your home is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Our pediatric nurses are carefully screened, heavily trained, and matched to each child’s specific medical needs. We work closely with your child’s medical team to ensure continuity of care and open communication with your family every step of the way.

For GAPP Care Coordinators and Referring Physicians

First Choice Home Care Agency welcomes referrals from care coordinators, hospital discharge planners, NICU staff, and pediatricians. We understand the urgency that often accompanies pediatric discharge planning and prioritize fast, same-day response times for urgent GAPP referrals.

  1. Submit a referral online through our portal or fax/call our intake team directly.
  2. We confirm GAPP eligibility and review the child’s plan of care.
  3. Our team matches the child with an experienced, verified pediatric nurse.
  4. We coordinate closely with your facility during the discharge and transition process.
