The Mews is a private, non profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to keeping
citizens living independently in Greenwich as long as possible. The Mews
attracts residents throughout Fairfield County and outside the Northeast. It is
governed by an all volunteer Board of Directors. Volunteers supplement a
devoted, long term team of professionals providing for the residents.
The Mews is a Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity Senior Residential Facility.
In 1949, Nancy Carnegie Rockefeller created the Merry-Go-Round
Clubhouse, a nonprofit day center for senior citizens. A pioneering concept at
the time, the Merry-Go-Round provided seniors with a warm and welcoming
source of nutritious meals, activities and the companionship of others. The
endeavor attracted a steady stream of retirees, older homemakers and
others, eager to remain involved and connected to their community.
By the late 1960's,however, seniors were living longer, more independent and
active lives than ever before. The need for centers like the Merry-Go-Round
waned even as the need for reasonable priced rental housing increased.
Mrs. Rockefeller rose to the occasion and filled the gap with all the amenities
of the Merry-Go-Round Clubhouse, but as a residential facility.
Built in 1970, The Mews was the first senior living residence in downtown
Greenwich. Enlarged in 1980 to accommodate another floor, the non-profit
Mews lives on today as a testimony to Mrs. Rockefeller's vision and
compassion for others.
