Greenwich Senior Service phone line discontinued
The Greenwich Senior Services, a dedicated phone line for seniors which was housed and hosted by Community Answers is being disconnected effective immediately. Callers may continue to call Community Answers @ 203-622-7979 to get information on services available to seniors in town. The phone lines are answered by volunteers Monday through Friday from 9-3. After office hours and on weekends the phone lines will be answered by the staff of the Greenwich library. Community Answers, Inc. is a unique service that goes above and beyond a simple information and referral service giving out phone numbers. Here is an example of a call we recently answered:
“An elderly woman called asking if we knew where she could purchase this oil that helped with arthritis. She said she couldn’t remember the name but that it sounded like a dog breed and that it was used for joints on large animals such as horses. It turned out it is called “Bigeoil” and it is pronounced “beagle oil”.
Community Answers has been providing answers to people for 37 years. We are located in the Main Greenwich Library and we can be reached M-F from 9 -3 @ 203-622-7979 or our services can be accessed through the website www.communityanswers.org
