Stamford is a city of real contrasts. Downtown near Broad Street and Tresser Boulevard moves fast, with high-rises and commuter traffic. A few miles north, Springdale and Glenbrook are quieter, full of older ranch homes where many longtime residents have lived for decades.
The South End sits close to the water and has its own tight-knit character. Seniors in each of these pockets have different needs, and our staff knows how to reach them, whether that means navigating a high-rise elevator or finding parking on a narrow side street in Cove. Stamford has a population of 137,144 and a median age of 38.4, which makes it a relatively young city overall.
That means many adult children here are working full-time and raising kids while also trying to care for an aging parent. The median household income sits at $111,586, so families often have resources but not time. (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons.) That's exactly the gap we fill.
We step in so working families don't have to choose between their jobs and their parents' safety.
