Great energy at the Hadley Park Towers Resource Fair yesterday! 🙌

Vanderbilt School of Nursing students set up activities encouraging residents to move, get creative, and learn about nutrition.

Seeing younger generations show up with such genuine care for older adults? That's community.

Know someone 50+ in Davidson County who could use a connection to resources?

Good information! See below.

Did someone call, text, or email and say you have to pay the government immediately, in a specific way, or you’ll be in trouble? That’s a government imposter. No one from the government will ever demand payment only with gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or a payment app. Only a scammer will.

Are you a GUIDE provider? If you aren't familiar, the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model is a voluntary, nationwide model testing the impact of providing comprehensive services and supports for people with dementia and their caregivers.

Father's Day looks different for everyone.

For some, it's breakfast in bed and handmade cards. For others, it's a phone call across miles, a graveside visit, or a quiet moment with a memory. Some are celebrating grandfathers who stepped up when it mattered most. Some are honoring men who never had children of their own but poured everything they had into the people around them.

And for some, today is simply hard — because the father figure they loved is gone, because the children they longed for never came, or because grief and joy exist side by side in ways that don't fit neatly on a greeting card.

At AgeWell Middle Tennessee, we believe every life has a story worth honoring. That includes every version of fatherhood — the expected ones and the quiet ones, the joyful ones and the bittersweet ones. To every man who has loved, guided, shown up, or longed to: we see you today. 💙

Save the Date - AgeWell Giving Day is Wednesday, August 19!

Donations this year will support Middle Tennesseans through our two priority programs, Eldercare Coach and RESET…making sure that caregivers know they’re not alone when figuring out their care options, and helping older adults access financial counseling and benefits so they aren’t forced to choose between buying food or medicine.

We would be deeply grateful for your support in making AgeWell Giving Day a success. Please mark your calendar for August 19 and consider making a gift of any size to help us continue serving older adults in our community. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference!

Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a time to shine a light on an issue that affects millions but often goes unseen. Elder abuse can take many forms—physical, emotional, financial, or neglect—and the warning signs are not always obvious. Unexplained injuries, sudden changes in finances, or emotional withdrawal can all be indicators that something isn’t right. Abuse often hides in plain sight, and awareness is the first step toward prevention. Learn the signs, speak up, and be part of the solution.
See below for 5 steps you can take to prevent elder abuse.
