Charlottesville, VA
A plan created by the Jefferson Area Board on Aging to prepare Charlottesville and the five surrounding counties for the aging community.
The Jefferson Area Board on Aging (JABA) is the AAA for Charlottesville and five surrounding counties. JABA spearheaded the development of the 2020 plan, which was developed with the Jefferson Area Planning Board and by many area residents who contributed their time and professional expertise.
A conference and public forums were held to elicit broad public participation, and 85 organizations and 500 individuals helped to develop the plan. The plan’s goals call for:
- Promoting coordinated and accessible healthcare
- Supporting maximum independence and lifelong health and support to family caregivers
- Offering choices – affordable living options for seniors and support to family caregivers
- Designing communities to enhance quality of life
- Fostering vibrant engagement in life
- Strengthening caring communities through active citizenship
