Caring for your child is already your full-time job.
Georgia's GAPP program may pay you to do it. This 2-minute check tells you if the Family Caregiver Option could fit your family, first a few questions about your child, then a few about you.
First, about your child
GAPP is for medically fragile children, this tells us if your child is in range.
The paid caregiver option covers ages 5 to 20. In-home skilled nursing is available at any age.
Katie Beckett is a Medicaid pathway that ignores your income, so "working on it" still counts.
Pick the closest one.
Now, about you as the caregiver
Being paid through GAPP means becoming an employee of the agency. A few quick yes/no questions.

We’re not the right fit today, but here’s help.
HeartPath’s paid caregiver option runs through GAPP, which is for children who need in-home skilled nursing: tracheostomy, ventilator, feeding tube, oxygen, or daily nursing care. Based on your answers, that isn’t what your child needs right now. But Georgia has real support for your family, and we’re building toward waiver-based services.
