Mockingbird Community and Retirement Center, Inc.

Elder Care & Senior Centers

Senior Centers across the United States are preparing for a wave of hip baby-boomers. Tai chi and ballroom dancing classes, health and wellness workshops, genealogy seminars, cultural activities and travel, art lessons, community theater and computer classes are just a few of the offerings at nonprofit Senior Centers in Middle Tennessee – and are examples that, in the words of Bob Dylan indicate that “the times they are a-changin'” (Bob turns 70 in 2011, by the way). Middle Tennessee senior centers – many of which are nonprofit – meet a myriad of needs and work diligently to find exciting programming to attract today’s senior. With medical advances increasing the average lifespan, there is a growing need for services to keep this large population active, engaged and independent longer. Middle Tennessee is a hotspot for retirees because of its climate, central location, favorable tax policies and abundance of healthcare facilities.
