A message from our leadership
Together with partners, we are seizing this moment and fueling transformative, systemic change.
Reviewing our progress for 2021, we are proud of the remarkable work of our staff and grantees as they advance our mission to improve the care of older adults.
Supporting our Careforce with Bold Action
Home and Direct Care Workers
They are more than a workforce. Home and direct care workers are a careforce. They conduct essential, skilled tasks that help older adults and people with disabilities live with dignity.
Family Caregivers
Family caregivers are an integral part of the careforce. They are vital members of the health care team who serve as advocates, navigators and the safety net for older adults.
Interprofessional and Cross-Sector Care Teams
JAHF recognizes and supports the teams of professionals that span disciplines and sectors, a key facet of an age-friendly careforce.
