Who We Serve

JAAA provides information, referral and services for older Kansans and their caregivers residing in Shawnee, Jefferson and Douglas Counties.

Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging (JAAA) is a bridge to the aging network providing services for older adults such as case management, caregiver support, and information/outreach. Through partnerships with other community agencies, JAAA also coordinates service delivery.

Mission & Vision

The goal is to foster independence, seeking to change the conditions that pose barriers for those who wish to remain a strong and vital part of the community. JAAA advocates on aging issues, builds community partnerships and implements programs to help older adults live independent and dignified lives.
