Jefferson Council on Aging (JCOA) is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Jefferson Parish in Louisiana. It is responsible for planning, organizing, and offering a comprehensive set of programs and services for improving the quality of life of Jefferson Parish’s 60+ year-old seniors. These seniors represented nearly one-fourth of the parish’s population. JCOA’s mission is. . . to assist the senior citizens of Jefferson Parish to age with dignity and independence in the place and manner of their choosing by offering services that promote independence in an equitable and nondiscriminatory fashion. 

SenioRX counselors work with seniors to match them to services that provide free or low-cost prescription drugs.  Senior employment provides training and employment to help older workers learn new skills and once again become productive members of society.
