Welcome to CoreCare Solutions

Medicaid coverage, specifically through the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP), provides home care services to medically fragile children under 21. The state determines weekly caregiving hours based on the child’s medical needs. GAPP is managed by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH), which also oversees our agency. Our active provider status can be verified through Appendix U, a document maintained by DCHEnrollment Details:

Nursing Care Services:

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) offers several key benefits over traditional inpatient care, primarily by providing a more personalized and supportive environment at home. Receiving care in the familiar surroundings of home reduces stress and anxiety for both the child and their family, creating a more comfortable atmosphere for recovery. GAPP’s family-centered approach involves parents directly in their child’s care, allowing for greater engagement and a tailored care plan that addresses specific medical and emotional needs effectively.

Additionally, GAPP ensures continuity by using the same healthcare team consistently, which helps build trust and maintain a coordinated approach to managing complex conditions. The program also minimizes the risk of hospital-acquired infections and provides financial compensation to help cover caregiving and medical costs, easing the economic burden on families. With its flexible scheduling and reduced need for hospital visits, GAPP enhances both the quality of care and overall family well-being, making it a compelling alternative to traditional inpatient settings.

We believe in supporting families who care for their loved ones. Medicaid offers financial compensation to families, paying up to 40 hours per week! This can significantly enhance your family’s income while ensuring your loved one receives the best care possible.

If you are already with an agency, we provide easy and seamless transitions so you can have peace of mind. There’s only one Medicaid form to sign to transfer services and we will have your services started the beginning of next month with no gap in your service. Whatever rate your agency is paying we will beat their rate!

Without transferring your care to our agency, we can supplement the nursing hours that your current agency is unable to provide. By submitting a shared hours form via Medicaid, we ensure you’ll get the additional support you need. You don’t need permission from your current agency to share your hours; however, we will notify them as a courtesy. The process is straightforward and hassle-free, and services will begin at the start of next month.

Our skilled nurses and caregivers are highly vetted to ensure we are providing the highest level of care and support. We carefully select our employees through pre-employment tests to ensure dependability and integrity. All our nurses have pediatric experience and undergo thorough background checks and DMV record checks, and we verify both professional and personal references. We maintain a drug-free work environment. Additionally, our employees are covered by worker’s compensation and fully insured. Social Security and I-9 verifications are also completed.
