FAQs

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 clinical social worker. With over 30 years of experience, she utilizes town services, vetted services, and supervised volunteers to provide for a member’s needs. The Executive Director’s office is staffed by professionals and volunteers. Members who are also volunteers 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?
