providers

Generations contracts with a combination of licensed home care agencies, home modification and individual providers of service in the six county service area (Daviess, Greene, Knox, Martin, Dubois and Pike Counties).  The services available to clients and their families include respite care, adult day services, homemaker, home health aide, attendant care, skilled nursing, therapies, home delivered meals, assistive technology, minor home modification, rehabilitation, emergency response systems, transportation and home health supplies. The availability of a variety of home care agencies provides our clients the flexibility needed to ensure they are able to select the provider that will best suit their individual needs. Case managers and Options Counselors work with each of our clients on an individual basis throughout the provider selection process.

All agencies interested in providing services for Generations and our clients must be certified through the Medicaid Waiver program. The Medicaid Waiver program is administered through the Indiana Division on Aging and differs from traditional Medicaid certification.
