The Louisiana Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs (GOEA) serves as the State Unit on Aging which is the leader relative to all aging issues on behalf of the senior citizens in the state of Louisiana.

GOEA proactively carries out a wide range of functions related to advocacy, planning, coordination, interagency linkages, information sharing, brokering, monitoring and evaluation, designed to lead to the development or enhancement of comprehensive and coordinated community-based systems in, or serving, communities throughout the state. These systems are designed to assist older persons in leading independent, meaningful and dignified lives in their own homes and communities as long as possible.

GOEA is committed to advocating for the needs and rights of the elderly, improving the quality of life for its seniors, promoting public awareness, intervention in exploitation and abuse, building partnerships with communities, and supporting intergenerational activities.
