FiftyForward is the leading resource for adults 50+ in Middle Tennessee who seek to live longer, more fulfilling lives. We are the premier provider of innovative programs and services for older adults and their families through a powerful leadership team of staff, volunteers and community partners.
Founded in 1956, FiftyForward annually touches the lives of more than 20,000 individuals – senior adults, children and families in Middle Tennessee. At our locations, members participate in hundreds of educational and wellness programs as well as virtual programming. We also provide needed assistance to those wanting to stay in their homes through our Living At Home Care Management Services and offer essential services (food, access to resources) to those who need our advocacy.
We connect with older adults, increasing their engagement and quality of life through:
• Access to wellness programs, including yoga and chair arthritis classes
• Scholarships for members below the federal poverty line
• Engaging in volunteer opportunities in the community
• Partnering with the local police department to serve the senior homeless
population
• Teaching lifelong learning skills such as computer literacy
• Care assessment
• Working with the Metro Meals Senior Lunch Program to counter food insecurity by
providing high quality, nutrient-dense meals to those 60 and older—at no cost to
the recipient
