Larkin Life Care supports children and families who need dependable care at home, including children with complex medical needs, chronic conditions, developmental disabilities, or ongoing skilled nursing needs. Each child’s situation is reviewed individually so we can determine the appropriate level of support.

Services may include skilled pediatric nursing, personal care support, medication assistance, care coordination, monitoring, and help with daily activities based on the child’s approved plan of care. Specific services are determined by each child’s needs and applicable program requirements.

Many approved home-care services may be covered by Georgia Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids®, waiver programs, or private insurance. Any out-of-pocket cost will depend on your child’s eligibility, authorized services, and specific health plan. Our team will help verify coverage and explain any potential costs before care begins, so there are no unexpected surprises. Georgia Medicaid includes home health care among its covered services, while some PeachCare plans may require copayments for certain services.

The process starts with a conversation about your child’s needs, current care plan, schedule, and coverage. From there, we help gather the necessary information, coordinate with healthcare providers and payers, and determine the next steps toward beginning care.

Caregivers are considered based on their qualifications, experience, availability, clinical competencies, and compatibility with the child and family. Our goal is to create a dependable match that supports both clinical needs and life within the home.

Caregivers must complete applicable background checks, credential verification, health requirements, competency reviews, and onboarding before providing care. They also receive guidance related to the child’s specific care plan and responsibilities.
