The Greens at Greenwich
By Maria Scaros, Executive Director
The Greens at Greenwich has been providing excellence in memory care for 24 years and is located in a beautiful residential neighborhood on the Westchester/Greenwich border. The community is accredited with the Purple Flag distinction of excellence in dementia care by the Connecticut Assisted Living Association and the Alzheimer’s Association. As a small family-owned assisted living community, the philosophy of care is to create the feeling of home—being safe and loved unconditionally. “We work with each individual’s strengths, not their limitations,” says Maria Scaros, Executive Director. “We have an outstanding staff who are experts in the field of dementia care. In this way, we guide our residents with compassion and respect in their journey to maintain their dignity and develop a sense of purpose.”
Being a member of the Greenwich and tri-state area, The Greens at Greenwich partners with other community members, programs, and organizations including the Alzheimer’s Association, The Bruce Museum, Greenwich Historical Society, Greenwich Symphony, The Juilliard School, Purchase College, local schools and others.
The Greens is a recognized leader in the creative arts therapies by providing programs and groups by licensed arts psychotherapists. We are proud to be one of the only internship sites for master’s level creative arts therapy students from the tri-state area. When language fails, research tells us that the arts speak. The arts are a means of communication that offers empowerment and joy to individuals who have difficulty communicating in conventional ways. Our partnership with The Bruce Museum, through a series of workshops, is a way in which we share our knowledge of the healing power of the arts: visual art, dance/movement, music, and drama.
