About Us

Since 2002, Generations Homecare System has been dedicated to creating a quality homecare software service for the growing homecare industry. Founded by Lisa and Lance Ferden, this innovative husband and wife duo utilizes their professional backgrounds in homecare and information technology to create a software service that focuses on three key things: security, ease of use and documentation. Additionally, at the core of their mission is educating users on the importance of data security and best practices around the collection and storage of health data. Over time, Generations has evolved from a locally installed scheduling system to the cloud-hosted, enterprise-level management system it is today.
