About Jackie Lou Foundation

The Jackie Lou Foundation is dedicated to bringing a light to seniors by offering compassionate guidance, support, and resources that help them live fulfilling, dignified lives. We understand that the aging process can be complex and overwhelming, and our mission is to make that journey easier and brighter for seniors and their families.

Our foundation was created with the vision of empowering seniors by providing personalized assistance in navigating the various aspects of aging, including healthcare, home placement, legal matters, and more. We do not provide direct services, but instead help families find the right resources—whether it’s identifying the ideal care facility, connecting with medical professionals, or accessing community support.

We believe every senior deserves to live in a community that promotes their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Our team works closely with families to ensure they have the tools and resources needed to make informed decisions. Additionally, we engage volunteers to provide joy, social connection, and enrichment for seniors through activities at personal care homes, retirement communities, and other senior living facilities.

At the Jackie Lou Foundation, our focus is to guide and empower families by navigating the complexities of senior care. We connect families with trusted resources like home health services, memory care, financial assistance, and more, all with the goal of enhancing seniors’ quality of life. Our mission is simple: to light the way for seniors, creating a world that is brighter, safer, and more connected.

With our commitment to care, compassion, and community, the Jackie Lou Foundation is here to ensure that seniors live their lives with dignity, independence, and joy.
