JABA RECs provide a safe, caring, and active environment for loved ones, and a welcome respite for caregivers.

The Respite & Enrichment Center has helped our family in so many ways, giving my Mom the personal interaction she needed, allowing us to keep her at home. … We can go to work … and we’re comfortable knowing she’s in a safe, loving environment. It’s a truly amazing program.
