Our History

For 40 years, we’ve had the privilege of being a unique nonprofit in Middle Tennessee, serving as a champion for older adults and the area’s catalyst for collaborative solutions. Founded as the Council on Aging of Greater Nashville in 1985, we’ve enjoyed working with older adults, family caregivers and professionals from across the region to provide trusted information and assistance, to develop collaborative solutions to unmet needs and to advocate for needed services and support.

We’re proud to say that we’ve assisted hundreds of thousands of older adults and caregivers through our helpline and comprehensive print and online Directory of Services, and we’ve addressed unmet needs by creating and launching new, enduring programs like Living at Home and Senior Ride Nashville.

None of these things would have been possible without countless volunteers, partner agencies, funders and supporters. To each of you, we offer our sincere thanks & appreciation!
