Generations reaccredited by Council on Accreditation
Generations just received word that the Council on Accreditation has reaccredited our agency. Generations was only the third Area Agency on Aging in the nation to meet COA's national standards of best practice when it was first accredited in 2004. COA reaccreditation is an objective and reliable verification that provides confidence and support to an organization's service recipients, board members, staff and community partners. The COA reaccreditation process involves a detailed review and analysis of both an organization's administrative operations and its service delivery practices.

2010 Family Caregiver Retreat
Generations' Caregiver E-Support Group is now up and running. This support group is designed to provide you with information on relevant caregiving topics such as Alzheimers/dementia care, fall prevention, self-care, long-term care, community resources, legal information, etc. We will also keep you updated on workshops, events and other happenings in the community designed for caregivers. It is my hope that we are also able to share our own experiences as caregivers with each other from time to time. Please do not feel as though you must share with the group--this is based on your own personal comfort level. There will be two emails a month (bi-weekly) and all we need is your email address to sign up! If you would like to be added to the E-Support Group, send your email address to Ashley Seprodi at aseprodi@vinu.edu. Click here for more information.
