Skilled Nursing Services for GAPP (Georgia Pediatric Program)
Compassionate Pediatric Care Delivered by Licensed Nurses
At Flowers Home Care, we proudly provide Skilled Nursing Services through the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) for medically fragile children and young adults across Georgia. Our mission is to ensure every child receives high-quality, specialized clinical care in the comfort and safety of their home — so families can focus on what matters most: love, stability, and daily life.
What Are Skilled Nursing Services Under GAPP?
Skilled services are clinical, medically necessary tasks performed only by a licensed nurse (LPN or RN). These services support children with complex medical needs who require ongoing monitoring, interventions, and hands-on nursing care throughout the day.
These services help keep children safe, stable, and able to thrive at home — preventing unnecessary hospital stays and supporting families with reliable professional care.
