Our North Star
Mission & Purpose
Purpose
To provide targeted services of comprehensive, compassionate care that not only foster independence, but also help our clients remain active, valued members of their community.
Our Story
Fifty years of showing up for Nassau County.
Founded in 1974, Nassau County Council on Aging is a locally rooted 501(c)(3) nonprofit built to serve neighbors 60 and older — and the families who love them.
From a single office to two full-service Senior Life Centers in Fernandina Beach and Hilliard, we've grown alongside our community. What hasn't changed is our conviction: aging is better together, and no senior in Nassau County should navigate it alone.
Today, our programs reach every corner of the county — from chef-prepared meals and Meals on Wheels to case management, adult day healthcare, in-home care, and classes that keep body, mind, and spirit engaged.
What We Do
A continuum of care designed around real life.
Our programs meet seniors where they are — at home, at our Life Centers, and everywhere in between.
Nutrition Services
Chef-prepared congregate meals, Meals on Wheels home delivery, a community food pantry, and one-on-one nutrition counseling.
Adult Day HealthCare
Supervised daytime care with meaningful activity and clinical oversight for loved ones who need a little extra support.
Advocate Home Healthcare
Licensed in-home healthcare delivered by NCCOA’s own clinical team — wherever home is.
Case Management
Respite, in-home care, home repairs, legal aid, and benefits counseling — everything needed to age in place.
CHORE Services
Wheelchair ramps, grab bars, minor home repairs, and yard work that keep seniors safe and independent at home.
Classes & Activities
Arts & crafts, fitness classes, support groups, and a lending library — available to adults of ALL ages.
Educational Platforms
Senior Life Magazine, workshops, and community events that inform, connect, and celebrate our members.
Volunteer & Outreach
550+ volunteers powering Meals on Wheels, Santas for Seniors, ramp builds, and everyday acts of neighboring.
Our Impact
A community-wide effort, measured in people served.
Every meal, class, and home visit is made possible by staff, volunteers, partners, and donors who believe aging should come with dignity and joy.
