The Generations Project was established in 2001 to call attention to the dilemma facing Hoosiers with long term health care needs. A collaborative effort of leading consumer based organizations, The Project seeks to educate citizens, advocates, and policy makers about the opportunities for Hoosiers to implement a balanced and responsible long term care system.

Lessons From Home: The Recommendations of the Round Table Education Series on Long Term Care (2008) is a report on the findings of the Round Table Education Series hosted by The Generations Project. The series took place November 7th and 14th, and December 12th, 2007 in Indianapolis. Fifty citizens took part in three days of deliberations. Those discussions produced the forty four separate findings and recommendations in the Report.

The full Lessons From Home (pdf) report is available as a free download.

Senior and Disability home health gets a major boost

The odds of Hoosiers having more and better home health care services in the future have received a significant boost from a Chicago based foundation. The Retirement Research Foundation has released a major grant to The Generations Project in Indianapolis. The grant will be used to educate and empower senior citizens and persons with disabilities regarding their home health and community based care options. Details

The Implementation of SEA 493:
A Policy Education Series from The Generations Project
The Generations Project is beginning a new series of monthly articles that will report on the implementation of Senate Enrolled Act 493, the 2003 law enacted by the Indiana General Assembly to re-balance the state’s system of long term care.
Details

Moving Forward - Senate Enrolled Act 493 & Long Term Care Rebalancing in Indiana is a comprehensive evaluation of the provisions of SEA 493 and its implications for Indiana's long term care programs. For citizens and policy makers, the Moving Forward report provides a glimpse of what is possible if Indiana follows the road map laid out by 2003's SEA 493.

The full Moving Forward (pdf) report and an executive summary (pdf) are available for free download.
