If you're typing "pediatric home healthcare near me" into Google late at night, you're probably exhausted, worried, and looking for someone local who actually understands what your child needs. White Light Health Services is a Stone Mountain, Georgia–based pediatric home health care agency built for exactly that moment — families who need trustworthy, in-home support close to home, not another out-of-state call center.
We provide free, Medicaid-covered in-home care for children under 21 with developmental or physical disabilities across Stone Mountain and the greater DeKalb County area. As an approved Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) provider and a CARF International–accredited organization, we help families access quality pediatric home health care in Georgia without the runaround.
Pediatric home healthcare is professional medical and personal support delivered inside your child's own home, rather than in a hospital, clinic, or residential facility. For families raising a medically fragile child or a child with autism, a developmental delay, or a physical disability, home healthcare for children means:
For over 10 years, White Light Health Services has supported children and individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, and physical or mental disabilities throughout Georgia — with services designed around each child's individual needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
There's no shortage of home care listings online — but very few are local, licensed, and genuinely built around pediatric needs. Here's what sets our pediatric home health care in Georgia apart:
GAPP-Approved Provider — an officially approved Georgia Pediatric Program provider
CARF International Accredited — held to a recognized national standard of care quality
No Out-of-Pocket Cost — eligible families receive care fully covered by Medicaid
Fast Qualification — many families are approved in as little as 30 days
10+ Years of Experience — supporting children with autism, developmental, and physical disabilities
Local to Stone Mountain, GA — based at 1406 Rockbridge Rd, not a distant call center
Background-Checked, Compassionate Caregivers — trained specifically in pediatric and disability support
White Light Health Services offers two core pathways for families searching for in-home care for a disabled child in Georgia.
Personalized, one-on-one in-home private care for children under 21 with developmental or physical disabilities, fully covered by Medicaid at no cost to your family.
Unskilled, private-duty support services for children over age 5, delivered by trained caregivers under Georgia's GAPP guidelines.
Both programs are designed to give medically fragile and developmentally disabled children the consistent, one-on-one attention they need — while giving parents real, reliable support at home.
Most families don't start searching for pediatric home healthcare near me because it's convenient — they search because they're stuck. We hear the same concerns from parents across Stone Mountain and DeKalb County every week:
I can't find a licensed agency close enough to actually show up consistently.
I don't understand how Medicaid or GAPP paperwork works, and no one has time to explain it.
We've had inconsistent caregivers who don't understand our child's specific condition.
We can't afford private-pay home care, and we don't know what's actually free.
I need a break, but I don't trust just anyone with my child.
White Light Health Services was built around solving exactly these pain points — with local presence, Medicaid-covered care, GAPP expertise, and caregivers who are trained, vetted, and matched to your child's specific needs.
We are proudly based at 1406 Rockbridge Rd, Stone Mountain, GA, and serve families throughout Stone Mountain, DeKalb County, and the surrounding Metro Atlanta area.

Quick answers about eligibility, Medicaid coverage, and getting started.
Pediatric home health care is professional, in-home support for children with developmental, physical, or medical conditions. It includes personal care, skilled nursing, and daily living assistance delivered inside the family's own home instead of a clinic or facility.
Yes. Eligible children under 21 with developmental or physical disabilities can receive in-home private care fully covered by Georgia Medicaid, at no out-of-pocket cost to the family, through approved providers like White Light Health Services.
GAPP generally serves children over age 5 who need unskilled, private-duty support due to a qualifying medical, developmental, or physical condition. A licensed provider can review your child's diagnosis and paperwork to confirm eligibility.
Look for a locally based, licensed agency with accreditation (such as CARF International), background-checked caregivers, and direct experience with Georgia Medicaid and GAPP paperwork. Choosing a local Georgia provider also means faster scheduling and in-person support.
Children with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, genetic disorders, traumatic brain injury, chronic medical conditions, and other developmental or physical disabilities may qualify for in-home care, depending on medical documentation and program guidelines.
Many families are approved and matched with a caregiver in as little as 30 days after submitting the required documentation, though timelines can vary based on individual Medicaid and GAPP processing.
