It is better understood as a care navigation, counseling, and older adult support resource.

What Caregivers Should Know Before Calling
JFCS and Abramson Senior Care finalized a merger, and senior services are now connected under Abramson Senior Care of JFCS. JFCS states that, as of October 1, 2025, the merger created a single comprehensive resource for older adults and their families. Current and new clients are directed to JFCS Care Navigation at 866.JFCS.NOW (866-532-7669).
JFCS describes Older Adult Services as support for adults age 65 and older, helping connect them with services that allow them to age safely while maintaining quality of life. Families should contact the organization directly to confirm current program names, intake steps, fees, availability, and whether services are offered by telehealth, in-office, mobile therapy, or another format.
