Elizabethton Senior Center of Carter County

Elizabethton Senior Center of Carter County A Place to Thrive! Serving Seniors in the Carter County Community since 1968!

Since 1968, the Elizabethton Senior Center has stood as a beloved cornerstone of our community. As a non-profit organization, we have dedicated ourselves to serving the seniors of Elizabethton and the surrounding area. Our journey began with a small group of seniors gathering in a house on our current property, and in 1981, thanks to the City of Elizabethton, we moved into a purpose-built facility. Ever since, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to provide a safe haven for seniors to socialize, access programs, and receive unparalleled support from the community. Over the years, our services and activities have flourished, expanding to meet the evolving needs and desires of our senior population. Our fundamental goal is to foster a secure and inclusive environment, ensuring that every senior in Elizabethton and the surrounding area has a place to call their own. At the Elizabethton Senior Center, we offer much more than a physical space; we cultivate a vibrant community where seniors can forge new friendships, engage in enriching programs, and find solace and encouragement as they navigate the journey of aging. With great pride, we stand as a trusted resource for seniors, providing not only a gathering place but also a wealth of programs and services. From invigorating fitness classes and enlightening educational workshops to creative art programs and delightful community outings, our offerings are thoughtfully designed to address the holistic well-being of our seniors. As a non-profit organization, our unwavering commitment to our seniors is made possible through the incredible support of our community, the dedication of our volunteers, and the generosity of our donors. Together, we create a nurturing space where our cherished seniors can find care, companionship, and a profound sense of belonging. The Elizabethton Senior Center represents more than just a building—it stands as a testament to the heart and soul of our community. It embodies our core values of compassion, respect, and an unwavering appreciation for the wisdom and contributions of our aging population. As we journey forward, let us continue building a brighter future where our seniors can truly thrive and experience the fulfillment they so richly deserve.

We are thrilled to announce that the Elizabethton Senior Center has been awarded a grant through the Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging’s Senior Center Grant!

The loss of Carter County funding after nearly 50 years of support was a significant blow to our center. As the needs of older adults continue to grow and change, we remain fully committed to serving the seniors of Carter County and ensuring they have access to meaningful programs, health and wellness opportunities, essential resources, and social connection.

This grant comes at an especially important time, and we are deeply grateful to State Senator Rusty Crowe and State Representative Renea Jones TN-04 for providing letters of support for our application. We also sincerely thank the Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging and our state leadership for recognizing the vital role senior centers play in their communities.

The Elizabethton Senior Center is proud to be one of 122 senior centers receiving a portion of the $5 million awarded statewide. This investment will make a meaningful difference for the seniors we serve!

A huge THANK YOU to the Bonnie Kate Theater for partnering with the Elizabethton Senior Center for today’s showing of the timeless classic, Singin’ in the Rain! 🎬☔💛 It was such a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon while supporting a great cause.

A very special thank you to Riverside Taphouse for sponsoring today’s showing. Your generosity helped make this event possible, and we truly appreciate your support of our Senior Center and the seniors we serve.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket and joined us today! Every ticket purchased helped support the Elizabethton Senior Center, and that support means so much to us.

We love seeing the Bonnie Kate bring these wonderful classics back to the big screen while giving back to local organizations. We look forward to the upcoming Classic Cinema Sunday showings and hope our community will continue to come out, enjoy some great movies, and support the other nonprofits being featured throughout the series.

When our community supports one another, we all become stronger. ❤️
