How it works
No out-of-pocket cost. No paperwork you have to fight through alone. We handle the system so you can look after your child.
We talk — no cost, no obligation. We confirm your child’s eligibility for in-home private care at no out-of-pocket cost, and we handle the Medicaid paperwork. Most families are approved for funding within 30 days.
Once approved, you meet the nurses who will actually be in your home — and you have a say. If you qualify, a parent can be trained, employed and paid as your child’s caregiver.
Care begins on your schedule, at any hour. Approved hours are set by medical necessity under the Georgia Pediatric Program — most families are authorised for 25 to 40 hours each week.
Our services
Every service below is provided by licensed, pediatric-trained clinicians — and covered for qualifying families at no out-of-pocket cost.
One-to-one RN and LPN care in your home, for the hours your child’s condition requires — from a few hours a day to around-the-clock coverage.
Airway clearance, oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatments and continuous respiratory monitoring by nurses trained in pediatric airways.
Around-the-clock care for ventilator-dependent children by nurses competency-checked on your child’s specific equipment.
Safe, precise tube feeding — pump management, formula preparation, tolerance monitoring and growth tracking.
Gastrostomy site care, dressing changes, granulation management and family training you can actually use.
Suctioning, tie and tube changes, stoma care and emergency readiness — from nurses who have done it hundreds of times.
Accurate administration and reconciliation of complex regimens, with side-effect monitoring and pharmacy coordination.
One coordinated care plan across every need — nursing, equipment, specialists, school and family support.
Rooted in family and service
Families raising a medically complex child do not only manage a diagnosis. They manage a system — specialists, equipment suppliers, pharmacies, school nurses, Medicaid caseworkers — and the coordination becomes a second full-time job on top of the caregiving.
HomeCare Roots exists to carry that weight. We obtain the funding. We build the plan. We staff it with pediatric-trained nurses who stay long enough to know your child’s baseline by heart. And we keep a clinician reachable at any hour, because complex needs do not keep office hours.
We hire for clinical skill and for warmth. Your child is a child first.
Care is built around your household, your routine and your goals.
Pediatric-trained RNs and LPNs, licensed, screened and competency-checked.
A clinician answers, day or night. Not an answering service.
From our families
HomeCare Roots has been a blessing for our family. The nurses truly care, and we finally feel supported and confident in our child’s care at home.
They handled the Medicaid paperwork we had been drowning in for months. Approved in under four weeks. I did not believe it until the letter came.
Our son came home on a ventilator after eleven months in the hospital. The nurse knew his machine before she walked in the door. He has not been readmitted since.
Questions, answered
For families who qualify under the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP), there is no out-of-pocket cost. Care is covered by Georgia Medicaid. We complete the funding paperwork on your behalf, and most families are approved within 30 days.
Children under the age of 21 who are Georgia Medicaid members and have a documented medical need for skilled nursing — including conditions such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, paraplegia, ventilator dependence, tracheostomy, seizure disorders and complex feeding needs. If you are unsure, call us. The eligibility review is free and takes one conversation.
In many cases, yes. Georgia allows qualifying parents and guardians to be trained, employed and paid as their child’s caregiver. We walk you through the training and credentialing, and we handle the employment side. Ask us during your consultation whether your family qualifies.
Authorised hours are set by medical necessity, as documented by your child’s physician and reviewed by Georgia Medicaid — not by us. Most of the families we serve are approved for 25 to 40 hours per week. Children with higher acuity needs, such as ventilator dependence, are frequently approved for substantially more.
The pace is set by funding approval, which typically lands within 30 days of your consultation. Once approved, we introduce your care team and begin on your schedule. For urgent hospital discharges we move faster — call us and say it is a discharge.
We serve families across Georgia, with our deepest coverage in metro Atlanta — including Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Clayton, Cherokee and surrounding counties. If you are outside metro Atlanta, still call: we will tell you honestly whether we can staff your area well.
A free consultation, an honest answer about eligibility, and a team that handles the paperwork. Call us — a clinician answers, day or night.
