Older Adult Services

Helping older adults live with dignity.

Older Adult Woman smilingAs we age, some things in life become more challenging. JFS is here with comprehensive and compassionate care to help older adults live healthy, independent and meaningful lives. Programs address aging-related issues such as support to maintain a home, transportation, health, mobility, grief, isolation, emotional concerns, and more.

Help@Home

Provides high quality, dependable minor home repairs and access to services that help older adults maintain their independence at home. With Help@Home, older adults get the peace of mind they need to stay in control of their daily lives for as long as they choose to stay in their homes. Learn more.

Comprehensive Care

With aging, it is not uncommon to feel sad about retirement, health problems, being lonely or the loss of friends or a loved one. A continuum of services at JFS provides confidential referrals to counseling, spiritual care, grief and loss support, crisis and financial assistance. Your Care Manager will assist in finding referrals for other needs you may have.
