JABA, the Jefferson Area Board for Aging, has been a beacon of support for individuals and caregivers throughout the aging process since 1975. As the gateway for information and assistance, JABA is dedicated to serving seniors, adults with disabilities, and their families in the Charlottesville area, as well as in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties. With a commitment to healthy aging, JABA offers a wide range of services to help older adults and individuals with disabilities stay active, engaged, and independent in their communities.

From home-delivered meals and companion support services to Medicare counseling and affordable senior housing, JABA provides direct support where it is needed most. Not only does JABA prioritize the well-being of seniors, but they also recognize the importance of caregiver support. Through respite and enrichment centers, caregiver support programs, and preschool initiatives, JABA strives to make a positive impact on the lives of both caregivers and those they care for.

As advocates for the rights and well-being of older adults, JABA actively participates in community alliances and educates the public about ageism, isolation, and elder abuse. By doing so, they create more age-friendly environments and sustainable communities for healthy aging. To stay informed about JABA's initiatives, news, and events, you can explore their website, connect with them on social media, or sign up for their newsletter.
