Family & Children's Agency of Norwalk
Family & Children's Agency (FCA), a non-profit, family-serving organization based in Norwalk, has been serving lower Fairfield County for over 65 years. FCA currently provides support to residents in Darien, Norwalk, New Canaan, Westport, and Wilton, with a mission to help individuals, families, and organizations meet life's challenges successfully. By implementing over 30 programs in areas such as youth development and mentoring, family counseling with licensed clinical staff, and adoption assistance, FCA makes tremendous strides daily in supporting the entire community in all stages of life.
One of FCA's goals is to provide quality services to seniors who wish to live independently and safely in their own homes. The following services are offered:
-Home Health Aides assist with bathing, dressing, and preparing meals.
-Homemakers handle laundry, light housekeeping, and shopping.
-Companions socialize with seniors and provide transportation for running errands.
-Carpenters and handymen assist with house maintenance issues, such as snow removal, repairs, and heavy lifting.
-Live-In Services provide 24/7 caregiver service. All caregivers are screened by a registered nurse.
-Lifeline allows for easy access to emergency services simply by pressing a button.
On Saturday, April 5th, FCA will host its annual fundraising gala, "Soaring to New Heights," at Darien's Woodway Country Club. A silent and live auction will be held. To find out more about FCA's programs, the spring gala, or volunteer opportunities, please call 855-8765 or visit the website.
