- The Vermilion Council on Aging has been a cherished part of our community since 1975—celebrating 50 years of service this year.
- Our mission is to support seniors aged 60 and older in Vermilion Parish, ensuring they feel valued and connected.
- We offer congregate meals in Abbeville, Kaplan, and Erath, creating an inclusive environment where seniors can come together and enjoy each other’s company.
- For those who are homebound and may struggle to prepare meals, we provide home-delivered meals, so they can receive nourishment without the worry of cooking.
- We are proud to host various wellness and recreational activities such as Painting with a Twist, crochet classes, arts and crafts, movies, Family Fun Day, health fairs, and Bingo, all designed to foster community and joy.
- Our respite care, sitters, and personal care attendants offer vital support to those in greatest need, ensuring they have the care and attention they deserve.
- Our homemaker services include light housekeeping, helping seniors maintain a comfortable living environment with dignity.
- We also provide advocacy and supportive services, assist with commodities, help with applications for senior discounts at selected Farmers’ Markets and connect seniors with legal advice through the Cajun Area Agency on Aging and the Governor’s Office of Elderly Affairs, ensuring they have access to the resources they need.
- Our Senior Centers are designed to be safe spaces where seniors can interact, learn, and have fun while enjoying nutritious meals together. We believe in the importance of social connection and personal growth.
- If you know someone who could benefit from our services, please refer them to us. Our services are based on donations, and if anyone has the means to contribute, it would make a meaningful difference.
- We organize fundraisers like Cake Bingo and the Mardi Gras Ball, and we’re dedicated to building relationships with sponsors and partners who share our vision.
- While we are grateful for the support we receive from state and federal funding, we know that expanding our donor base is essential to continue providing these vital services.
- We warmly invite you to join us for lunch and activities or to pass along our information to those who may need our assistance.
- Thank you for allowing me to share our mission with you today. We are here to answer any questions and to listen to any thoughts you may have.
