We offer a full range of child home healthcare, from sitter services to skilled care. At Abba Health Services, we care for your children just like we care for our own. We value your child’s well-being, and our staff are guided by our high ethical and moral standards and we demonstrate this through our continually transparent communication with the families of our patients.
Personal Care Support
Many children and young adults with special needs require assistance with activities of daily living. We provide Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs) who help make managing everyday tasks easier for both the patient and their families. Our staff are trained to assist medically complex children and adults with daily living activities, such as:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Meals
- Housekeeping
- Monitoring Vital Signs
- Transfers
- Assistance with Ambulation & More
School Nursing
Our CNA’s and HHA’s are trained to assist medically complex children and adults with daily living activities while in school. They help make managing everyday tasks easier for the patient, their families and their teachers.

Hospital-to-Home Transition
For a medically complex child or adult, the transition from hospital to home can be a difficult one. Our mission is to make this process smoother and less overwhelming by assisting with everything from coordinating the discharge process with the hospital case manager
Types of Insurance
GAPP
Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid program for medically fragile children under the age of 21. GAPP covers in-home skilled nursing care and personal care support services for our medically complex children. Services are approved based on the child’s medical needs.
Our Care Coordinator will work with you and your child’s doctor to apply for GAPP. We have the right expertise to help you to get approved for the care you need.
Katie Beckett Waiver
The Katie Beckett Waiver, or Deeming Waiver, is a Medicaid eligibility category for children under the age of 18. When a family has a higher income than the Medicaid level, the Katie Beckett Waiver is used to “waive” the family’s income and bases the approval decision on the child’s needs.
If your child qualifies for the Katie Beckett Waiver, they become eligible for services available under the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) Medicaid plan.
Private Pay
Private pay is an option that is fully funded by the patient/family. Nursing care and personal care services are available for in-home or out-of-home support. Private pay can be an option for families in need of additional hours of care not covered by Medicaid, Private insurance or other payers.
