OurPurpose• Generations Life, Inc. bridges a huge gap in home‐based medical and mental healthcare for low‐income and disabled veterans.

• We also seek to improve the government systems responsible for providing these veterans with healthcare through patient advocacy and community mobilization. 

Page 3: Inhome Healthcare for Low-Income & Disable Veterans

OurPromise• To provide the highest quality of services through licensed and qualified professionals with great respect for our veterans 

• To ensure that we coordinate public benefits, private insurance and our services through seasoned administrators

• To advocate for each patient’s rights and educate the greater community about our veterans and their needs

TheBigPicture• Our veterans most often return home to find themselves on the front lines of a major, national healthcare crisis.

• More than 900,000 veterans are currently waiting on benefits, with an average national waiting period of more than 245 days.

• The number of veterans waiting more than one year for benefits leapt from 11,000 in 2009 to 245,000 in 2011.

• This increase represents a 2,000% increase for those low‐income and disabled veterans waiting too long for benefits.
