First Choice Care is an Atlanta-based home health agency that provides in-home care for children with complex medical needs, and for adults and seniors, across the Atlanta metro area, including Gwinnett County and Lawrenceville. The agency says it was founded in Atlanta in 2014, has served more than 500 families, and operates as a state-licensed home health agency under Georgia Department of Community Health standards.
Its best-known program is GAPP, the Georgia Pediatric Program. GAPP covers in-home skilled nursing and personal care for medically fragile children under 21 who have Georgia Medicaid. The site explains that a child must be under 21, enrolled in Georgia Medicaid, and have a physician-ordered need for skilled nursing or personal care, and that final eligibility, services, and hours are decided through the state's clinical and Medicaid review. For eligible children, the site states there is no out-of-pocket cost to the family. Covered help includes skilled nursing visits by registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, personal care and daily living support, care coordination with the child's doctor, medication administration, vital signs monitoring, and training for family caregivers. The agency says it guides families through the application, handles the paperwork, and submits the GAPP application to Georgia Medicaid.
Beyond GAPP, skilled nursing at home includes wound care, medication management, and IV therapy. Personal care helps with bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility, with a focus on dignity and independence. Adults and seniors can use private pay care with flexible scheduling and customized plans and no insurance restrictions. Companionship and emotional support cover social engagement, light errands and outings, and communication with family. Respite care gives family caregivers short-term and overnight relief.
The agency says every caregiver goes through thorough background screening, credential verification, and ongoing performance reviews, and that its team is available 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays. Families start with a free consultation, then a personalized care plan built with the physician, including scheduling, services, and caregiver matching, before care begins at home.
