New Canaan Inn

Welcome to New Canaan Inn

New Canaan Inn is a charming residence that is ideal for seniors who can appreciate the personal benefits of living independently in a thriving, yet intimate retirement community. We welcome seniors from any geographic location.

Nestled in a scenic and tranquil neighborhood, you will enjoy the beautiful trees, gardens and courtyards. Plus, the Inn is only half a mile from town, so you can conveniently stroll or drive to numerous shops, restaurants and other points of interest.

Our mission is to provide you with a caring and supportive environment that helps you maintain your independence and enjoy a carefree lifestyle. We want you to live life to its fullest at the Inn.

Our friendly staff is dedicated to promoting your independence, wellness, dignity and choice. We provide numerous personal services and will always greet you by name and treat you with the warmth and respect you deserve.

While the services and amenities available through the Inn can accommodate most lifestyles, it is important for you to know that every resident at the Inn has priority access to Waveny Care Network's high-quality continuum of healthcare services, programs and facilities.

Gracious Living in a Distinctive Community

While you will certainly take comfort in the personal décor and privacy of your apartment, you will also enjoy the Inn's gracious and inviting shared common areas. Fresh flowers, plants and original art are sprinkled throughout the Inn, adding to its comfort and charm.

Like most residents, you will appreciate the opportunity to socialize with friends, family and neighbors by the fireplace and grand piano in the living room. You and a friend may also enjoy a cozy chat or game of chess in the library.

What Makes New Canaan Inn Unique?

In addition to being a luxurious not-for-profit rental community for seniors, New Canaan Inn is unique among its peers because of the numerous personal services and benefits the Inn provides to its residents.

Our intimate size fosters a personal setting where our dedicated and caring staff will greet you and your family by name. You will feel cherished and safe at the Inn, and we will do our very best to anticipate your every need and desire.
We are honored by more than 100 "Friends of the Inn," a loyal group of volunteers who will brighten your life in many ways - playing the piano, hosting social hours, leading current event chats, assisting with gardening projects, providing transportation for an excursion and lots more.
Our location is idyllic and epitomizes quaint, New England charm. Our property is exquisite, peaceful and secure, yet this sanctuary is just moments from the bustle of town.
Only New Canaan Inn has priority access to Waveny Care Network's comprehensive continuum of healthcare services, programs and facilities. Waveny has been providing high-quality professional care to older adults since 1975.
