Check Your CountyCare That Comes From the Heart
First Choice Care was founded right here in Atlanta with a simple belief: every family — regardless of income, insurance, or circumstance — deserves access to compassionate, high-quality care at home.
Over the past decade, we've served more than 500 families across the Atlanta metro area. We started with a handful of nurses and a commitment to dignity — and that commitment has never wavered.
We specialize in Georgia's Pediatric Program (GAPP) because we believe medically fragile children deserve the best start possible — in the comfort and safety of their own home, surrounded by the people who love them most.
When you choose First Choice Care, you're not just hiring a home health agency. You're gaining a partner — one that shows up, follows through, and never stops advocating for your family.
