Have you ever sat down for a rare moment of quiet, only to jump up seconds later because your child needs immediate help? For many parents of children with special needs in Georgia, the "on-call" light never turns off.
You’re the nurse, the therapist, and the parent all at once, while managing your own physical and mental fatigue. You might feel like you’re on an island, carrying a heavy weight that no one else sees.
What if a pair of skilled, compassionate hands could step in to provide home care support for children with disabilities?
At Services Offered From Above (SOFA), we provide that extra layer of care to ensure your family does more than just get through the day. We’re here to give you back your peace and joy, letting you focus on just being a parent again.
Most parents start their day long before the sun comes up. When you have a medically fragile child, that morning routine means much more than breakfast and getting ready. It involves complex Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). These are the basic self-care tasks everyone needs to stay healthy and comfortable, like bathing, dressing, and eating.
Without help, these tasks can feel like a mountain you must climb every single morning. These routines are essential for your child's dignity and health, and we understand how a small deviation can devastate the entire day.
This is why we provide licensed professionals who come into your home to help your child thrive in the place they feel safest. Our caregivers turn those complicated ADL processes into simple, manageable steps.
Through the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP), this support is a Medicaid-funded service. This means qualified families receive this vital care at no out-of-pocket cost. We manage the application process for you, taking the administrative burden off your plate so you can focus on your child.

In a household with a medically fragile child, brothers and sisters often lose needed attention. When a SOFA caregiver handles the medical tasks, you have more time to spend with your other children, creating a more balanced and joyful home life.

Without support, your day might be a blur of alarms, medication schedules, and physical strain. With a SOFA caregiver, that chaos turns into a structured, supportive environment.
