Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What does the At Home in Greenwich support network look like?

The member's first point of contact is our office at 139 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich CT O6830. All concerns, problems and referrals are managed by our Executive Director, a licensed social worker. With over 20 years of experience she utilizes town services, vetted services and trained volunteers to provide for a member's needs. The Executive Director's office is staffed by professionals and volunteers. Members who are also volunteers will often assist with programming and service delivery. The Executive Director is guided by a Board of Directors and an Advisory Council.

Q. What do you do that no one else in town does?

No one provides the detailed service and coordinating capabilities of At Home in Greenwich. No other organization besides At Home in Greenwich will find a reliable plumber, take notes at the doctor’s office, suggest ways to make a living situation safer and more manageable, deliver a prescription and then invite you to a tea party!

Q. Is this a duplication of services already available in Greenwich?

At Home in Greenwich is designed to complement the excellent services available in our community, not duplicate them. The benefit is you have additional, simple access to help that other services do not provide. We offer members a unique events program, an interesting social network and reliable assistance with whatever needs are presented.

Q. If I'm not ready for any of the services now, why should I join?
With your support now you can be confident that At Home in Greenwich will be there for you when you truly need it. In the meantime you can enjoy and participate in the wealth of services and activities At Home in Greenwich offers.  You’ll meet new friends by participating in our activities and volunteering to help others. As a member, you'll also have direct input into how At Home in Greenwich can serve you both now and in the future.

Q. Does At Home in Greenwich offer scholarships for those who cannot afford the membership fee?

Yes, thanks to assistance from a community block grant and other donations, At Home in Greenwich has developed a scholarship program designed to help those who need financial assistance with the membership fee.  Call the Executive Director for details.

Q. Will all information about me be kept confidential and secure?

Yes, all information about any member is strictly confidential. The office is locked and data base open only with the proper access code.
