Resource Services

We don’t have all the answers (or provide every service) but we try to find them! At Home In Darien works closely with other organizations in Darien to help identify and provide information regarding a variety of potential resources for seniors and their families. We are often able to provide advice and support to connect seniors to access to broader assistance within the community.
