Welcome. The James N. Jarvie Commonweal Service® combines an enduring commitment
to its founding values with a state-of-the-art approach to meeting the needs of older adults in the greater New York City area. A service provider and grantmaker since 1925,
Jarvie takes pride in our long history of helping older people to
"live, not merely exist."

Inspired by our original charter, we maintain an abiding respect for
each individual we serve and bring integrity and compassion to all
that we do. At the same time, we employ the best of contemporary
social work practice and gerontological research. Jarvie staff continuously seeks new ideas that can improve the way we and
others meet the day-to-day and long-term needs of older adults.

“I know how blessed I am to be a member of the Jarvie family. It is a miracle!”
