ABA Therapy

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition characterized by differences in social interaction, communication, and behavior. It affects how individuals perceive and interact with the world, leading to varying levels of support needs. Symptoms and abilities can range widely, and early intervention and support can greatly enhance quality of life and development.

ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientifically validated approach used to improve specific behaviors and skills in individuals with autism. By applying principles of learning and behavior, ABA therapy helps increase desired behaviors and reduce unwanted ones through structured, individualized interventions and positive reinforcement. Its goal is to enhance communication, social skills, and adaptive functioning.

Signs of autism or ASD can include challenges with social interactions, communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. Observing these traits early can be crucial. A formal diagnosis is made by a healthcare professional through comprehensive evaluations and assessments. If you have concerns, consult with a specialist or developmental pediatrician for a thorough assessment and guidance.

ABA therapy helps children by improving their communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviors. Through structured, individualized interventions and positive reinforcement, ABA therapy addresses specific challenges and promotes desired behaviors, enhancing independence and overall quality of life. It provides tailored strategies to support your child’s needs and developmental goals.

The duration of ABA therapy varies depending on your child’s needs and goals. Some children may benefit from several hours per week over a few months, while others may require ongoing therapy for years. Our BCBAs will regularly review and adjust the treatment plan as needed.ABA Therapy can be delivered at home, in a clinic, in schools, or within the community—wherever your child can best learn and practice new skills.

At Primecare ABA, we serve individuals with autism and developmental delays at every stage of their journey. In our center, we specialize in school readiness skills for children ages 2–7, helping them develop the social, communication, and functional abilities needed to thrive in social and academic settings. – Primecare ABA Therapy is dedicated to meeting your family’s unique needs with compassionate, results-driven care.

PrimeCare provides two main types of pediatric care:

Skilled Nursing (through GAPP): For children with complex medical needs who require trained nurses (RNs/LPNs).
Personal Support Services (PSS): For children who may not need critical care but benefit from daily living support such as help with meals, hygiene, and mobility.

Care is delivered by licensed pediatric nurses for skilled nursing needs, and trained caregivers for personal support services. This ensures every child receives care matched to their level of need.

Children with conditions like cerebral palsy, epilepsy, tracheostomy/ventilator dependence, cystic fibrosis, muscular disorders, and Type 1 diabetes may qualify for skilled nursing support.
PSS caregivers assist with bathing, feeding, dressing, toileting, mobility, and safety. This service is for children who need day-to-day assistance but may not require constant medical care.
For Skilled Nursing (GAPP), PrimeCare helps with paperwork, assessments, and Medicaid approval, typically within 30 days. For PSS, eligibility is based on need and Medicaid guidelines, and our coordinators walk families through the process step by step.
Families receive full support from our coordinators, nurses, and caregivers. We educate parents, provide updates, and ensure services fit the child’s medical and emotional needs. Our goal is to keep children safe, supported, and thriving at home

Hospice Care

Hospice care is specialized end-of-life care that focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life rather than curative treatment. It provides comprehensive support including pain management, symptom control, emotional counseling, and spiritual care for patients with terminal illnesses and their families.
Hospice works by providing a team-based approach to end-of-life care. A care team including nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers visits the patient regularly to manage symptoms, provide personal care, and offer emotional and spiritual support. Most hospice care is provided in the patient’s home, though it can also be delivered in nursing facilities or hospice centers.
Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness alongside curative treatments, focusing on symptom relief and quality of life. Hospice care is specifically for patients who have stopped curative treatments and have a life expectancy of six months or less. Hospice is a form of palliative care, but not all palliative care is hospice.

No, Primecare does not provide palliative care services. However, individuals who are receiving palliative care may be eligible for home care services through Primecare Home Care.

Primecare Home Care provides caregiving support that helps individuals remain safe and comfortable at home. Those services may include assistance with personal care, daily activities, mobility, meal preparation, medication management and other needs, depending on the individual’s eligibility and care plan.

A member of the Primecare team can help individuals and families understand which services are appropriate for their needs.

Hospice eligibility generally requires a physician’s certification that the patient has a terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less. Many families choose to begin hospice earlier, so their loved one has more time to benefit from the full range of support.

Qualifying conditions include advanced cancer, end-stage organ diseases, late-stage dementia, ALS, and other serious illnesses. Primecare can help determine whether your loved one meets hospice eligibility requirements.

Yes. Hospice care at home is the most common setting for hospice services. At-home hospice care allows patients to remain in familiar surroundings with family while receiving professional medical support, pain management, and personal care from the hospice team.
Primecare Hospice services include skilled nursing care, pain and symptom management, personal care (bathing, dressing), emotional support (counseling for patients and families), spiritual care (chaplain services), respite care for family caregivers, bereavement support, and volunteer support.

Hospice home care is covered by Medicare Part A, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers nearly all hospice services, including nursing care, medications, equipment, and support services. Most families pay little to nothing out of pocket for hospice care.

Families receive practical education, emotional and spiritual counseling, and grief support. After a loved one passes, we continue to walk with families through bereavement care, ensuring they are supported through the grieving process.
Hospice care is provided wherever the patient calls home — a private residence, nursing facility, or assisted living community. Our goal is to make care accessible and comfortable in the setting that feels most familiar.
No. Choosing hospice is not giving up. It is choosing to focus on quality of life and comfort when curative treatments are no longer effective. Hospice allows patients to live their remaining time with dignity, surrounded by loved ones, while receiving expert care and support.
There is no set time limit for hospice care. While hospice eligibility requires a prognosis of six months or less, patients can remain on hospice as long as they continue to meet eligibility criteria. Some patients improve and graduate from hospice, while others may receive hospice care for longer than six months if their condition warrants continued services.
Families receive practical education, emotional and spiritual counseling, and grief support. After a loved one passes, we continue to walk with families through bereavement care, ensuring they are supported through the grieving process.
No. Hospice care is available to anyone with a terminal illness, not just cancer patients. This includes conditions such as advanced heart failure, COPD, dementia, ALS, and more.
It may be time to consider hospice when a loved one has a life-limiting illness and curative treatments are no longer effective or desired. Signs include frequent hospital visits, uncontrolled pain, difficulty breathing, or significant decline in daily functioning. A physician can help determine if hospice is appropriate.

Family Caregiving

PrimeCare offers three programs:

  • Structured Family Caregiving (SFC): A live-in family caregiver provides full-time care at home.
  • Traditional Caregiving (CNA/PCA): Certified professionals are hired to support with daily needs.
  • Friends & Family Caregiving (FSF): Relatives or friends (not spouses or legal guardians) can serve as paid caregivers after completing training and background checks.

Clients must be on Medicaid’s CCSP or SOURCE program and require daily support. Caregivers must live in the same home, be at least 21, cannot receive SSDI, and cannot be a spouse or guardian.

Every SFC family is partnered with a PrimeCare health coach. The coach works alongside the caregiver to monitor the client’s needs, ensure the care plan is being followed, and provide guidance, resources, and encouragement. They act as your go-to support, so you’re never navigating the program alone.

This program provides families with certified Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) or Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). These trained professionals handle daily tasks like bathing, dressing, mobility support, and medication reminders. Families choose this route when they prefer professional caregivers instead of family providing the care.

FSF allows close relatives or friends to serve as the caregiver. They must complete CPR/First Aid, background checks, TB testing, and PCA/CNA training requirements. This option is ideal for families who want a trusted loved one involved but need support getting them credentialed.

Spouses, legal guardians, and individuals on SSDI are not eligible to be caregivers.
PrimeCare guides you through the process: Collaborate with Case Management, confirm Medicaid eligibility, complete paperwork and assessments, and begin care with the full support of our team.
Health coaches check in regularly to support both the caregiver and the client. They help monitor care, answer questions, make sure the client’s needs are met, and guide families through program requirements. Think of them as a partner walking with you every step of the way.

Yes. Certain friends can qualify if they live in the same home. Please note: in Georgia, spouses and legal guardians are not eligible. In Indiana, spouses, guardians, and SSDI individuals may serve as caregivers.

Clients must be on Medicaid’s CCSP or SOURCE program and require daily support. Caregivers must live in the same home, be at least 21, cannot receive SSDI, and cannot be a spouse or guardian.

To qualify for Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) in Indiana, the client must:

  1. Be eligible for Indiana Medicaid

  3. Live with their caregiver full-time

Caregivers must be 18 years or older, and there are no restrictions on receiving SSDI benefits. Spouses and guardians can also serve as caregivers and still receive SSDI.
