The Area Agency on Aging of Caddo Council on Aging, Inc. (CCOA) is a 501(c)(3) private non-profit agency serving seniors and their caregivers in Caddo Parish since 1972

Designated by the Department of Elder Affairs as the Area Agency on Aging for Planning and Service (PSA), the agency’s focus is on funding, advocacy, services and programs for seniors in the Caddo Parish.

The mission of the Caddo Council on Aging/Area Agency on Aging (CCOA) is to provide support services to persons age 60 and over which help maintain their independence and quality of life in a home environment and to serve as a focal point on issues affecting the health and welfare of the aging population. All seniors 60+ are eligible with special emphasis on low-income individuals.

Meals On Wheels is a service designed to help seniors maintain their independence as they face financial, physical, or emotional hardships. A hot meal designed to meet one-third of the daily requirements for senior nutrition is delivered to the homes of seniors who, due to frail health, are unable to shop and/or cook for themselves. In addition to the nutritional benefit, this program provides a yearly wellness check for seniors.
