that complete the continuum of care.Most caregivers
are unpaid, and care for a dependent adult 7 days a week. The Marshfield
COA operates with a nine member Board of professionals from the public
and private sector that meet on a monthly basis to plan activities and
community events. In addition to our services Board members, staff and
community volunteers make available a series of educational programs throughout
the year. These programs include:
* Ongoing conferences for caregivers and professionals covering in-depth
topics on caregiving, health and aging.

update on current research, trends and new information on caregiving,
health and aging.The
