Acadia Council On Aging
The Acadia Council on Aging (ACOA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving the elderly population of Acadia Parish, Louisiana. Established in 1974, the council advocates for older adults and works to ensure they have access to essential services that promote independence and dignity. Their mission is to provide supportive activities and services that are vital to the mental and physical well-being of older persons, allowing them to remain safely in their homes and improve their quality of life through nutrition, social interaction, and wellness services. The ACOA was established in response to the Older Americans Act of 1965 and operates under the oversight of agencies such as the Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs. The council's programs are designed to reach those most in need, particularly seniors who are homebound, isolated, or lack family support. They operate senior centers in Crowley, Church Point, and Rayne, which serve as hubs for congregate meals, social activities, and community support. The organization is affiliated with regional and state agencies and strives to provide its services at a direct or indirect cost, with many core services offered free of charge to eligible seniors thanks to federal, state, and local funding, as well as community partnerships. The areas served include Branch, Church Point, Crowley, Egan, Estherwood, Evangeline, Iota, Mermentau, Morse, and Rayne.
