Our Work
As more of us live longer, we have an exciting opportunity to rethink the future of our communities.
Our Mission
We are a trusted resource, and we advance solutions to meet the critical needs of older adults and caregivers.
Our Vision
Every older adult in Middle Tennessee feels valued
and can live and age well.
Our Values
At AgeWell Middle Tennessee, we are passionate about reframing aging and addressing unmet needs by being a trusted community resource, a convener and catalyst for solutions, and a champion and advocate for older adults and family caregivers.
As a nonprofit organization serving 13 counties in Middle Tennessee, we believe in aging well and are committed to reframing aging and creating inclusive communities where older adults are valued and connected to the people and places that foster active living and bring meaning to life. We value family caregivers and believe they deserve unbiased information, guidance, and support as they care for aging loved ones.
There is much work to be done as we dream and shape what it means to “age well” and to that end, we commit to fostering and promoting inclusive communities. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is a core value that undergirds our infrastructure and programs, and we believe this encompasses representation, access, and belonging. We commit ourselves to increasing diversity on our board, staff, and committees, and to ensuring that we are intentional in our outreach, engagement, and advocacy.
