The Jewish Council for the Aging (JCA) is a nonprofit organization serving older adults in the Greater Washington, D.C. area, focusing on helping people maintain independence, dignity, vitality, and self-respect. Its programs address practical needs such as information and referral, transportation assistance, escorted transportation, intergenerational volunteering, dementia care and caregiver support, as well as training for job search and technology skills for those aged 50 and over, along with Medicare guidance. Based in Rockville, Maryland, JCA operates within the individual and family services sector, supporting a diverse senior population through a range of services that promote continued participation in the community. The organization is headquartered in the Maryland region and has a workforce drawn from the broader community to deliver these programs. A notable development in its recent history includes receiving a grant from Senior Service America, Inc. to support temporary employment opportunities for low-income older adults in nearby counties.
