How to Know When It’s Time to Ask for Nursing Help
No one plans for this.
You never imagined you’d become not just a parent—but a full-time caregiver, medication manager, appointment scheduler, and around-the-clock nurse for your medically fragile child.
And while you’ve done it all with love, there’s a quiet truth many parents are afraid to say out loud:
You’re tired. You’re overwhelmed. And you need help.
But how do you know when it’s time to take the next step and ask for professional nursing support?
Here’s your guide—plus how Mudaris Healthcare can help you apply for free in-home nursing care through Georgia’s GAPP program.
✅ Signs It’s Time to Ask for Help
If you’re seeing these signs in your life, it may be time to consider in-home skilled nursing:
You haven’t slept through the night in weeks (or months)
You’re scared to leave your child alone—even to shower or eat
You’re falling behind at work, or had to stop working altogether
You’re missing appointments, skipping meals, or neglecting your own health
You feel constant stress, anxiety, or burnout
Your child’s medical needs are increasing and you’re unsure how to keep up
You keep thinking “I just need one extra pair of hands”
If even one of these sounds like your reality—it’s not weakness.
It’s a sign that it’s time for support.
And you deserve it.
👩⚕️ What Support Could Look Like
Through GAPP (Georgia Pediatric Program), many families are already receiving free in-home nursing care for their children.
That includes:
Skilled nurses (RN or LPN) to handle daily medical needs
Care for G-tubes, trachs, oxygen, seizures, and more
Help with feeding, dressing, bathing, mobility, and hygiene
Care during the day, overnight, or while your child is at school
Personalized care plans built around your child’s condition
📝 Who Qualifies for In-Home Nursing?
Your child may qualify if they:
Have a diagnosis like cerebral palsy, seizure disorder, muscular dystrophy, autism, or another complex medical condition
Use medical equipment like a feeding tube, oxygen, trach, or wheelchair
Require help with daily living or constant supervision
Are under 21 years old and a Georgia resident
Even if your income is too high for regular Medicaid, you may still be eligible through the Katie Beckett Waiver—and Mudaris Healthcare will guide you through the entire process.
