Live
At JABA, our mission is to ensure that individuals and families live better. We believe that living as part of a community promotes healthy aging, so all JABA owned and run living options promote a sense of community. Whether you are seeking independent living or living with assistance, JABA continues to establish and preserve affordable living communities that increase options for living better.
Enjoy
Living as an elder should be an enjoyable part of your life. Why not enjoy yourself as part of a community that learns, plays and works together? At JABA, we have designed our Community Centers and our Adult Care Centers to promote fun and fellowship.
Support
JABA is all about lending support to seniors in need of assistance. Whether that includes basic information, case management, insurance counseling, home delivered meals — or any of the many other available services — we want you to think of JABA as a source of support for you or your loved ones. Most of our support is offered as a gift to those who cannot pay. See individual programs for more details.
Give
JABA is able to do all that it does because of generous volunteers and donors. We value contributions of time as well as dollars and promise to put your talents and your donations to very good use.
In the past five years, government funding has diminished. Luckily, individual and corporate contributions have begun to rise. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and needed.
Learn
What’s good for us as we age is good for our entire community — from planning for neighborhood growth, to promoting local foods and collaborating for the best use of resources. This is the philosophy behind JABA’s mission, “to promote, establish and preserve sustainable communities for healthy aging that benefit individuals and families of all ages.”
Top Broccoli Catering
Top Broccoli Catering is another creative way JABA raises funds for senior services. Whether you have a lunch meeting for five or a business symposium for five hundred, Top Broccoli will cater your event using local foods and wholesome ingredients to create a delicious, memorable meal.
Top Broccoli’s chef plans menus that reflect local, natural, and wholesome foods. By sourcing local foods in our menus, Top Broccoli reinforces JABA’s commitment to sustaining our local economy, preserving our environment, and providing the most nutritious meals possible to both our senior clients and you, the catering customer.
Since revenues from Top Broccoli Catering benefit our senior meals program, your money reaches far beyond a good meal for your event by helping provide good meals for an entire community!
