Stay at Home in Little Compton

Stay at Home in Little Compton is also a clearinghouse for free used service equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, etc. on our Medical Equipment page.

The media constantly tell us that seniors wish to remain in their own homes. At the same time the cost of retirement and nursing homes is rising and demand is outpacing availability. Stay at Home in Little Compton believes there is a critical need for information, easily accessible, to assist those who wish to stay at home safely and comfortably.  Please visit the our website at www.stayathomeinlittlecompton.org  to see the available services in our area.

If you are a service provider in the Little Compton area and wish to be listed in our directory please visit the Make a Referral page on our website.   Volunteers are also listed and we are very much interested in expanding our list of volunteers.  If you would be willing to donate some time to help a neighbor please note this when you visit the Make a Referral page.   We are also working to expand our list of services for lower income seniors.   If you are a service provider and are willing to provide discount rates or pro bono service to lower income seniors please note this when you visit the Make a Referral page.

Stay at Home offers periodic informational events about important topics related to senior health, safety and independence.   You’ll find more about these events and other important news on these topics on our News page.  It is our hope that our informational events will enhance the quality of life for Little Compton seniors and also increase social contacts within our community. Our vision is that Stay at Home in Little Compton will be a catalyst for other activities for Little Compton seniors. For example, many have expressed an interest in more organized social contacts.
