Since 1987, JCAAA has operated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity. The agency provides around 17 different services for the elderly throughout Jefferson County. The agency operates 3 centers around the county, 1 of which is open Monday through Friday and the other 2 are open at different days during the month.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1714″ img_size=”768×515″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1566588865409{margin-top: -15px !important;}”]All persons over the age of sixty who reside in the county may participate in the programs funded by the Area Agency on Aging. Federal regulations require the Agency to give those persons over the age of sixty preference who are in the greatest economic and social need.<\/p>\n

The Area Agency on Aging is governed by a Board of Directors, who has the responsibility of overseeing the Agency’s operations. The Executive Director of the Agency has the responsibility of overseeing the Agency’s activities. The County Advisory Council and local senior center participants provide the Executive Director with additional input in their respective areas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
