“We want to help all seniors in our town to live independently, comfortably and with dignity in their own homes as long as possible.”
~Martha Rhein, member AIP Advisory Board

AGING IN PLACE

Darien residents love their homes and their neighborhoods and don’t want to move to a retirement community or a nursing home. That's why TCF launched Aging in Place in Darien (AIP). Aging in Place in Darien is similar to other initiatives in Fairfield County such as Staying Put in New Canaan and At Home in Greenwich. AIP is unique because it is free to all Darien seniors, age 60+ and their caregivers.

"Our Advisory Board believes that we can meet the needs of seniors with existing services currently offered by both non-profit agencies and local businesses. Where there are gaps, our Advisory Board and subcommittees will work to address them," says Alyssa Israel, MPH, Aging in Place Coordinator.

Members will enjoy the following benefits: Free referral to local programs and vetted service providers such as handymen, electricians, bookkeepers, caregivers, computer assistance, grocery shoppers, transportation, counseling, social, health and wellness programs; Free Senior Resource Directory of local services that benefit seniors; and **free Out and About newsletter** that highlights senior programs and services, health tips and ideas for living at home safely

To take advantage of these services call Alyssa Israel, AIP Coordinator at (203) 202-2912.
