Taking Action in a Year Unlike Any Other
Responding to the COVID-19 Crisis
JAHF immediately aligned our work to respond to the crisis by providing support and flexibility to our grantees, disseminating guidance and tools from trusted sources and offering insight on how nursing homes can best protect residents and staff.
Promoting Equity and Access
We are working to expand equal access to age-friendly care for everyone, regardless of background or ZIP code and will continue to place a concerted focus on reaching communities that historically face inequity in health care access and quality of care.
The Power of Our Collective Work
We continuously work across our three priority areas—Age-Friendly Health Systems, Family Caregiving and Serious Illness & End of Life—to increase the collective power of our work and maximize the value of our investments.
A message from our leadership
We have lived through a transformative year.
Older adults and their families have disproportionately suffered the consequences of the pandemic, especially older adults of color and those living in nursing homes. As we reflect on the past year, our commitment to rapidly improving the care of older adults has only grown deeper and stronger.
