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.
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.
