We’re back home in Michigan after a trip to Nashville last month for the Visiting Angels Homecare Annual conference. Thanks for stopping by our booth and for asking us so many great questions (for a list of the most frequently asked questions we received, keep scrolling).
It was great seeing so many familiar faces and meeting quite a few new people, too.
Hearing your stories about your homecare businesses and the clients you impact reminds us of why we do what we do and pushes us to continuously perfect Generations.
Here is a quick overview booklet of Generations to give you a better idea of the powerful functionality of Generations’s homecare technology.
While in Nashville, we also took the opportunity to explore the City. If you haven’t tried Nashville hot chicken, please stop what you’re doing and add it to your hit list NOW. You’ll be glad you did!
While at the conference, we enjoyed sitting in on the helpful sessions and hearing from some smart people and experts in the homecare space.

While at the conference, we noticed a trend in the questions we received from prospective clients. We recognized many of them as questions we hear from you regularly, via email, live chat and social media. If you all are asking these questions, chances are others are after the answers to these questions. So, we’ve decided to take your most frequently-asked questions and compile them into one easy-to-access list for you.
