Aging in Place
Our efforts to help fellow New Canaanites remain in town are part of a nationwide movement to enable people to continue living in the communities where they have established roots. We're in touch with numerous similar initiatives around the country. Such assistance at home is an alternative to retirement communities. It's an insurance policy. If you need it, it will be there.
Help Is One Phone Call Away
The value of Staying Put in New Canaan is having a central place to turn for help and information. We provide information, counseling and contacts with other organizations. Our dedicated volunteers provide many services from rides to assisting with computer problems to helping with simple, household tasks. We also maintain a list or professional service providers for home maintenance and safety issues.
Bringing People Together
Having fun and working to maintain good health are vital goals. Our social events, meetings, lectures, and unique excursions provide our members with opportunities to stay active and connect with others in our community.
Partnering with Our Town
We don't duplicate what's already available through other organizations. We encourage and facilitate participation in existing programs as appropriate. Our town is blessed with outstanding institutions providing many services to help residents age in place. Health and Human Services, Lapham Community Center, Waveny Care Center, GetAbout, Meals on Wheels, the YMCA, the United Way and others. Staying Put is proud to partner with these organizations to allow New Canaan residents to remain safe and active in our community as they age.
Membership Fees
Our membership fees are kept as low as possible, while allowing us to carry out our mission. We subsidize memberships below a certain income level to the extent our finances permit and for no fewer than 10 percent of our members. To do this, we have an endowment fund to defray the costs of our office and staff and enable us to offer below-cost memberships to those who qualify.
