Mission Statement
The Marshfield Council of Aging is a
human service agency whose mission is:
*
to provide and coordinate services to the senior community of Marshfield *
assist seniors to live within the community with dignity
* to enhance
their quality of life.
To accomplish this, the Council on Aging provides: *
Information about community resources that can offer assistance for caregivers *Personal
Assistance identifying the caregiver needs, options and referrals to services
and programs *Links
to training and support services As
advocates, we believe that our community can postively affect the quality of life
for older adults and their caregivers and encourage development of needed services
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.
* A support group (link
to support group)
* Educational forums for professionals and community
members presented to update on current research, trends and new information on
caregiving, health and aging. The
Marshfield Council on Aging planned and developed this website as an information
resource for family caregivers and professionals in Massachusetts. Funding
for the development of this website has been generously provided by the Old Colony
Planning Council. We would also like to thank our regional partners and collaborators
that help make these services possible.
