Can Parents Get Paid to Care for Their Child in Georgia?

​

Caring for a child with special medical, developmental, or behavioral needs often requires around-the-clock attention, coordination, and support. Many parents reduce work hours or leave employment altogether to ensure their child receives the care they need.

​

Depending on eligibility requirements and available Medicaid-funded programs, some Georgia families may qualify for services that support caregiving within the home.

​

At Anchor Healthcare, we help families understand available options, navigate the enrollment process, and access services designed to support children with ongoing healthcare needs.

​

• Family support services

​

Our team works closely with families to determine which services may be available based on their child's needs and eligibility requirements.
