Jefferson Area Board For Aging

What Jefferson Area Board For Aging does

Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) is a private non-profit designated as an Area Agency on Aging under the Older Americans Act, serving adults aged 60 and older, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers across Charlottesville City and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson Counties in central Virginia. Founded in 1975 and celebrating 50 years of continuous operation, JABA delivers a coordinated portfolio of direct-service programs rather than a unified technology product. Its core service lines comprise Caregiver Support Groups (peer groups at Hillsdale and an Alzheimer's-focused group at The Center at Belvedere), Home-Delivered Meals (delivered via a Mom's Meals partnership), two Respite & Enrichment Centers (Charlottesville and Louisa) for adults with dementia or disabilities, free Medicare Insurance Counseling operated under Virginia's Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program (VICAP), six community senior centers located across the service area, and an Ombudsman Program that connects residents to Virginia's State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Supplemental resources include the Aging (R)Evolution Podcast, the Defy Ageism campaign, and three educational toolkits covering Older Adult Rights, Caregiver support, and Dementia & Respite.
