About COASL
Council on Aging of St. Lucie, Inc. (COASL) was founded in 1973 by a group of 25 dedicated volunteers committed to providing daily hot meals to seniors, what would become the foundation of the Meals on Wheels program.
Over the past 50+ years, COASL has grown into a leading provider of comprehensive senior services across the Treasure Coast. Today, we support more than 5,400 seniors each year through programs designed to help older adults maintain independence and delay or prevent placement in long-term care facilities.
Our services include:
- Homemaking and in-home care
- Respite care
- Adult day care
- Nutrition programs
- Social and recreational services
- Transportation through our Community Transit division
COASL employs over 40 full- and part-time staff and is supported by more than 30 dedicated volunteers who make our mission possible.
As the designated Lead Agency for St. Lucie County under the Community Care for the Elderly (CCE) program, COASL partners with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs through the Treasure Coast Area Agency on Aging to deliver essential services throughout the region.
