GAPP, in plain terms
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Georgia Medicaid program that can provide in-home nursing and personal care support for children who are medically fragile.
Here is the part many families don't hear right away: even after your child is approved, the care itself comes through a pediatric home care agency. Finding an agency that serves your area, has staff available, and is a good fit for your child is often the hardest step.
That is where Andrea comes in.
Ayo Family Support does not determine eligibility or approve hours. Those decisions are made by the state program.
Families often reach out when
- Your child is about to come home from the hospital
- You have approved hours but no agency to staff them
- Your current agency isn't working out
- You just heard about GAPP and don't know where to begin

The agency takes it from there. Andrea checks in to make sure things are on track.
Free re-match if needed
If the first agency isn't the right fit, Andrea helps you find another at no cost.
Why is this free?
Andrea is compensated by the pediatric home care agencies she partners with, not by families. That compensation is never per referral or per placement. You can always choose any agency you prefer. Andrea will always tell you if an agency she suggests is a partner agency, and can share non-partner options in your area too. Read the full disclosure.
Questions parents ask
What is GAPP in Georgia?
GAPP is the Georgia Pediatric Program, a Georgia Medicaid program that can provide in-home nursing and personal care support for medically fragile children. Care is delivered by enrolled pediatric home care agencies, so families need an agency to actually receive the hours their child is approved for.
Does my child qualify for GAPP?
Eligibility depends on your child's medical needs and Medicaid eligibility, and the final decision is made by the state program, not by Ayo Family Support or an agency. Andrea can talk through your situation and point you to the right next step so you can find out.
How much does it cost to use Ayo Family Support?
Nothing. Our guidance is always free to families. Andrea is compensated by the pediatric home care agencies she partners with, and that compensation is never tied to how many families are referred or placed. Andrea will always tell you if an agency she suggests is a partner agency, and can share non-partner options in your area too.
How do I find a GAPP nursing agency near me?
Call or send a message through the contact page. Andrea will ask about your child's needs, your location, and your schedule, then connect you with a pediatric home care agency that serves your area.
What if we don't like the agency we are matched with?
Let Andrea know. If the first agency isn't the right fit, she will help you find another one at no cost to you.
Do I have to use an agency you recommend?
No. You are always free to choose any GAPP agency you like, including agencies that do not partner with Ayo Family Support.
We are still in the hospital. Can you help before discharge?
Yes. Andrea regularly works alongside hospital discharge planners and care coordinators, and it often helps to start the agency conversation before your child comes home.
Is Ayo Family Support part of the state or Medicaid?
No. Ayo Family Support Inc. is an independent family liaison based in Atlanta, GA. We are not a government agency, and we do not approve GAPP services or hours.
