Governor Eric Holcomb proclaimed October 8, 2020 as Ombudsman Day. Generations would like to recognize our very own Long-Term Care Ombudsman, Ann Cardinal for her 19 years of service. The primary purpose of an Ombudsman is to promote and protect the long-term care residents' rights guaranteed under federal and state law. Ann has been an invaluable asset, not only to our agency, but to countless long-term care facility residents and their families. Thank you, Ann for the amazing and selfless work that you do for others each and every day!

This holiday season, Generations is sponsoring its 12th annual Build*A*Basket project to help provide for the basic needs of Generations’ clients while bringing them some holiday cheer.
Generations serves older adults in Daviess, Dubois, Greene, Knox, Martin and Pike counties. These older adults are on fixed incomes and often cannot afford the everyday necessities that many of us take for granted.
If you would like to donate a filled basket, please register your basket by clicking here, or you may call the office to register a basket at 1-800-742-9002. Thank you for continuing to make this program a success year after year. We could not do it without your help!
For more information, questions or to schedule basket pick-up, please contact Alma Kramer at 812-888-4527 or by e-mail at akramer@vinu.edu.

New website provides Hoosiers free expert mental health resources during COVID-19
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration has launched a new website, BeWellIndiana.org, that provides Hoosiers with free mental health resources. The site is designed to address the increase in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues caused by the pandemic, including both first-time issues as well as preexisting mental health concerns.
Every Penny Counts.
For as little as $25 a month, you can provide a family in need with the peace of mind that comes from owning their own Personal Emergency Response System. For $50, you can give a caregiver what he or she needs most: an afternoon out of the house with the help of our respite care program. And for less than that, you can provide our clients with Meals on Wheels gift certificates, transportation tokens, and even one-of-a-kind Teddy Bears. The point is, your contribution can help our friends and neighbors continue to live independently.
To help us meet our mission and financial challenges, we’ve established the "Looking to the Future" endowment through the Vincennes University Foundation. In addition, donations may also be made to Generations endowment through the Dubois County Community Foundation, Huntingburg Community Foundation and Greene County Community Foundation.
