Hearing Aid Giant, Beltone, Joins Forces with GenerationsUnite

In-home care providers, caregivers and families of seniors now have direct access to Beltone through GenerationsUnite’s unique communications tool.

GenerationsUnite, a web-based tool that provides families, care provider companies and caregivers an easy-to-use communications platform to create a community of care around an individual needing in-home care, announced Monday that it has joined with Beltone. GenerationsUnite users will receive a 15% discount on Beltone hearing aids and a free hearing screening.

Beltone, a global leader in hearing aids, hearing devices, and hearing health care is one of the largest manufacturers of hearing instruments.

“Our partnership with GenerationsUnite will provide seniors and their families with an easy way to access Beltone’s services.” explains John Wesenberg, Manager of Hearing Health Care Programs at Beltone. “By utilizing the GenerationsUnite tool, all involved in care giving work together to provide the highest quality care. Our partnership with GenerationsUnite means Beltone is now able to serve the needs of hearing impaired members even more efficiently by connecting directly with their care providers and family through the GenerationsUnite site.”

At the GenerationsUnite site, family members, care provider companies and caregivers can search for Beltone hearing care facilities in over 1500 locations nation-wide, allowing even long-distance family members the ability to choose Beltone service providers.

“Our goal is to build strong care giving relationships,” says Alan Loveder, GenerationsUnite’s Vice President for Business Development. “Over 41% of adult children of aging parents live at least two hours from the parent who is in need of care. When a loved one is in need of in-home care and you live out of state, how do you determine who trusted individuals are to provide that care? GenerationsUnite partners with trusted businesses like Beltone to give you the confidence you need to choose who will provide that all-important support and services for the ones you love.”

Anyone can join the GenerationsUnite community and receive the 15% Beltone coupon. The GenerationsUnite site also provides job search resources to in-home care givers as well as extensive communications tools for care provider companies.
