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.

2012 State-wide Brain Injury Listening Tour Report Reflects What Services People Need

Brain injury is called the "silent epidemic" in this nation. Annually more people receive a brain injury than any kind of cancer diagnosis. Researchers have found that the brain continues to heal throughout the lifetime of the brain injury survivor. However treatment methods and public policy lag far behind what is currently known about the injured brain and what services and supports will best aid in healing.

The What's Working, What's Not? Brain Injury Listening Tour was organized to listen to people across Indiana who have survived a brain injury or have a family member who is struggling with the consequences of brain injury. This report is a summary of the series of open discussions and is intended to inform advocates, policy makers, service providers and Indiana citizens about the issues that were discussed.

Our hope is that Indiana will recognize brain injury as a treatable chronic condition and that with appropriate rehabilitation, services and supports, survivors can return to a fulfilling life.

Doing Things Better: Long Term Care Solutions for Indiana

Since 1987, Indiana has been searching for ways to do things better for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and family caregivers that struggle with long term care issues each and every day. Doing things better for our most vulnerable and valuable citizens, those good Hoosiers who are the carriers of generations of wisdom but who now need our help due to aging and disability, is simply good common sense and the right way to go.

In the fall of 2011, The Generations Project travelled the state, learning directly from Hoosiers what it means to do things better for persons needing long term care. They consistently expressed the desire for home and community based services rather than institutional care. Their ideas are incorporated into the comments that follow regarding how to do things better in Indiana.

Responding to the Governor’s Misrepresentation of Welfare Reform

In a letter published on September 2, 2012 in the Indianapolis Star and other newspapers, Governor Mitch Daniels presented a mythical representation, at best, of the so-called reforms that were made in Indiana’s public benefit programs during his administration. On September 5, 2012 The Generations Project and the Indiana Home Care Task Force sent the following op. ed. response to the governor’s letter to newspapers throughout the state.
