Care when and where it matters most
Exceptional Pediatric Home Care
Providence Healthcare of Georgia—trusted by families and physicians to serve medically fragile children across Georgia
Where Care Meets Home
We understand the journey of caring for a medically fragile child does not stop when you leave the hospital. In addition- most parents do not feel comfortable to leave their child in the hands of unskilled individuals, so rest is limited.
This is why Providence Healthcare of Georgia partners with physicians and skilled nurses to ensure that pediatric care continues within the home- not only to meet the child’s medical needs, but to also lighten the daily load for families.
At No Cost
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a medicaid program that covers the cost of all skilled nursing care and personal care support.
Parents have the option to be trained and paid as the personal care support if they prefer to provide the service themselves.
