JCA -- the Jewish Council for the Aging of Greater Washington -- 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 the 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 information 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 is frail or suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other challenges, we are a safe and caring place that provides dignified assistance at adult day centers that are second to none. To the older jobseeker, we are a friend, advocate, teacher and guide.JCA is all of this and so much more! We are vibrant intergenerational programs that build bridges and shatter stereotypes. We are volunteer-run technology training programs. 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. We helped them thrive.Visit www.AccessJCA.org to learn how we help older adults (1) get answers, (2) learn and grow, (3) get around, (4) embrace technology, (5) land a job, (6) build intergenerational bridges, and (7) find a helping hand as we (8) shatter stereotypes about growing up and growing older.
