About

In 1983, Gulf Coast Social Services was formed to serve the most vulnerable people in South and Central Louisiana. For more than 40 years, that’s what we’ve done, improving and changing lives in the communities we call home.

Our family of experienced, compassionate service providers is the heartbeat of our state-licensed, non-profit organization. We’ve never lost sight of our commitment to providing the highest quality in-home care and community services for those who need us most.

Every person we serve gets individualized care. Because our motto, “Personal Care, Quality Outcomes,” isn’t just a slogan, it’s a way of life.
