Chris Jones, Executive Director with At Home In Darien, will speak with us about the unique services provided by this local non-profit organization, and its ongoing mission to help Darien’s seniors live independently, comfortably and with dignity in their own homes and the community for as long as possible. COVID-19 has affected everyone – perhaps nobody more than seniors who are especially susceptible to longer-term health issues resulting from isolation and loneliness. At Home In Darien, which often flies below the radar for many town residents, offers a variety of services designed to support seniors and foster an intergenerational community.
Chris joined At Home In Darien as the Executive Director in June 2022, after many years leading sales and marketing efforts at agencies that partnered with major national brands such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Nationwide Insurance, The Home Depot, General Electric, Ace Hardware, Nestle Waters North America, and Marriott. Born and raised in Weston, Connecticut, Chris is a lifelong Fairfield County resident and holds a bachelor of arts degree in communications from Quinnipiac University where he was a 2-year captain of the soccer team.
Outside of work, Chris is an unabashed Minnesota Viking and New York Yankees fan, and spends as much time as possible with his wife Jennifer and their daughter and son (when he’s not playing golf or fishing!).
