    COUNCIL ON AGING AT WORK IN TERREBONNE

    For the past 50 years, Terrebonne Council on Aging has been, and continues to be, the agency that is at the forefront of delivering and providing much needed services to the elderly population of Terrebonne Parish, most of whom live in poverty and at high nutritional risk.

    Listed below, are some of the services Terrebonne Council on Aging delivers to the approximately 4,500 unduplicated seniors and disabled residents of Terrebonne Parish daily.  This is only possible because of the generosity of parish residents who provide the agency with millage funds.
