Living with cystic fibrosis (CF) can require ongoing medical care, respiratory support, medication management, and assistance with daily activities. For children and adults with complex care needs, dependable support at home can help families manage daily routines in a familiar and comfortable environment.
Integrity Home Care and Nursing provides compassionate in-home care for eligible individuals with complex medical needs throughout Georgia. Our team works with families and healthcare professionals to support individualized care plans and help clients receive appropriate care at home.
Pediatric and Adult Cystic Fibrosis Home Care
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. Because CF affects each person differently, the type and level of support needed can vary.

- Skilled nursing care
- Medication administration and monitoring
- Respiratory monitoring and support
- Assistance with airway clearance routines as directed by the healthcare team
- Feeding and nutritional support
- Personal care assistance
- Bathing, dressing, and grooming
- Mobility and transfer assistance
- Assistance with activities of daily living
- Meal preparation

Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Care
Children with cystic fibrosis may need regular monitoring and assistance with their daily treatment routines. In-home nursing can provide families with additional support while helping children receive appropriate care in a familiar environment.
Depending on medical needs and authorization, pediatric services may include skilled nursing, medication support, respiratory monitoring, nutritional assistance, and help with daily activities.
GAPP and Cystic Fibrosis
Some children with cystic fibrosis may require medically necessary in-home nursing or personal care services through the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) if they meet applicable eligibility and authorization requirements.
However, a cystic fibrosis diagnosis alone does not automatically qualify a child for GAPP. Eligibility and authorization depend on medical necessity, required documentation, and the applicable Georgia Medicaid requirements.
Integrity Home Care and Nursing can help families understand the provider-side process and coordinate with healthcare professionals as appropriate.
Adult Cystic Fibrosis Home Care
Adults living with cystic fibrosis may also require assistance managing complex medical routines and everyday activities. Depending on the individual’s needs and authorized services, home care may provide support with:
- Medication routines
- Respiratory care support
- Personal hygiene
- Bathing and dressing
- Meal preparation and feeding
- Mobility assistance
- Daily living activities
- Companionship
- Light housekeeping
- Caregiver respite
For adults with complex medical needs, skilled nursing services may be available when ordered and authorized by the appropriate healthcare provider and payer.
Respiratory Support at Home
Cystic fibrosis can affect respiratory health and may require ongoing respiratory care. Our home care team can support care routines within the scope of the individual’s authorized plan and healthcare provider’s instructions.
Home-based support may help families manage prescribed care routines while providing an additional layer of assistance in the home.
