SWITCHING GAPP AGENCIES IN GEORGIA
Stuck with an agency that can't keep up? You can switch — and your child won't miss a shift.
If your current GAPP agency leaves shifts unfilled or rotates a new nurse through every week, you're allowed to choose a different one. Georgia's Freedom of Choice is on your side. We make the change simple.
Your GAPP agency is your choice — not a life sentence
A lot of families don't realize they can leave. They assume that because the agency was assigned at discharge, they're stuck. They're not.
Freedom of Choice in plain terms:
Under GAPP, you have the right to pick your child's nursing agency — and to change it whenever you want, for any reason. You don't need your current agency's permission, and you don't owe them an explanation.
Signs it's Time to Change Agencies
You shouldn't have to chase your child's care. If you're nodding along to any of these, it's worth a conversation.
Shifts go unfilled
You're covering nursing hours yourself because no one shows up, and you've stopped counting how many times.
A new nurse every week
Your child never sees the same face twice, and you re-explain their whole routine each shift.
No one answers
Calls and messages go nowhere, and you find out about problems after they've already happened.
You feel like a number
The agency treats your medically fragile child like a case file, not a kid your family loves.
The difference you'll feel in the first week ...
-
We fill the shift. Reliable staffing is the whole job. If your child has authorized hours, our priority is making sure a qualified nurse is actually there.
-
Continuity by design. A small, consistent care team that learns your child — not a rotating cast of strangers.
-
Specialists, not generalists. Our nurses focus on medically fragile pediatric care: trachs, vents, feeding tubes, complex airways.
-
The Three Thumbs Up Rule. No placement is final until Opulent, your family, and the nurse all agree it's the right match.
