Staying Put turns 13!
It has been 13 years since Ellie and Hank O'Neill recognized the importance of a multi generational community. With that realization, they called their friends to their living room proposing the idea of an organization of volunteers that would help them age in place, right at home. They knew that the community they helped forge throughout their lives was full of people who would do just that: volunteer to help them stay, and they were right. Staying Put mobilizes hundreds of volunteers of all ages to do what’s needed for seniors to stay put. At its core, it is neighbors helping neighbors. Staying Put is a window into New Canaan: a marvelous community born out of symbiotic relationships in a setting so charming it defies the imagination.
