After more than 14 wonderful years at 58 Pine Street, Staying Put in New Canaan is excited to begin a new chapter. I am delighted to share that we have a new home at 65 Locust Avenue, Suite 103, conveniently located on the first floor at the corner of Locust Avenue and Cherry Street. Pine Street has been filled with countless memories, friendships, and connections, and we are grateful for all that it has meant to Staying Put. Now, we look forward to filling 65 Locust Avenue with new memories while continuing to deliver our exceptional services to this vibrant community.
Our new space is more than just an office. With more than 1,500 square feet, it includes an open staff workspace, private offices, a large meeting and gathering room, kitchen and storage space, and accessible restrooms just outside our suite. There is convenient parking on the same level as the entrance, covered parking with elevator access, and two-hour free street parking nearby.
Most importantly, we envision our new home as a welcoming hub for the Staying Put community: a place where members can gather for activities, meet friends, enjoy a cup of coffee, borrow a book, connect with our team, ask a question, or simply stop in to say hello. Our volunteers will have a convenient place to sign up for a ride, call some of our more home bound members, and check in with the staff. We can proudly welcome town partners to brainstorming meetings ensuring we continue to offer the best educational programs to our community regarding aging well and aging in place. Our organization is member-based but our outreach is vast and our sophisticated new space now matches the level of service we have provided for the past 18 years.
