JCA represents something different to each and every man and woman we proudly serve. To the isolated senior with no means of getting around, we are a smiling ElderBus driver who cheerfully helps with canes, walkers and wheelchairs and even carries packages with a smile. To the concerned family member suddenly faced with overwhelming health or home care issues, we are the confident voice of an info
rmation specialist who understands precisely the services needed to care for a beloved parent or spouse and can access our unique, comprehensive database to find needed resources close to home. For the senior who has been diagnosed with early stage memory loss, we are a safe and caring place that provides dignified assistance at social adult day centers that are second to none. To the older jobseeker, we are a friend, advocate, teacher and guide. We are vibrant intergenerational programs that build bridges and shatter stereotypes. We are volunteer-run technology training programs that have graduated 12,000 adults since 1992. We are different faces in various places, but united in our mission of helping local seniors experience the positive side of aging while making the National Capital Area a great place to age. Last year, because of generous friends like you, JCA served more than 31,000 older people of all faiths, ethnicities and walks of life. We helped them avoid isolation and live independently.
