Welcome to FiftyForward Bordeaux!

Slide 1
All FiftyForward centers have resumed in-person activities (following CDC protocols).

After closing our centers to in-person activities last March, we are happy to announce in-person programming has resumed at all Fifty Forward centers. RSVPs are required for class participation at every center. Contact your preferred location here.
 
FiftyForward is eager to find ways for our members to connect. As we continue to listen to officials regarding best practices we are also committed to offering older adults safe connections and socialization which are critical to good mental and physical health.
 
Check out our fun and engaging virtual/online and outdoor programming, too! There’s something for everyone.
 
Our team is committed to providing essential services and resources (especially food) to older adults in our community. If you know of an older adult in need of assistance, please call our resource line at 615-743-3416. We are here to help.

Nestled in a historic area of Northwest Nashville, FiftyForward Bordeaux opened in May 2007, as our smallest facility in what was previously the Bordeaux Library. This center offers many opportunities for engagement through programs, activities, and services for more than 2,000 older adults annually. FiftyForward Bordeaux serves a diverse community of older adults and offers opportunities for activities for fun, fitness, and fellowship in the community.

The leadership of FiftyForward Bordeaux seeks to ensure that members of this community are engaged in ways that strengthen them physically, socially, and spiritually and improve members’ lives through various programs. These programs include classes in nutrition, dance, fitness, music, drumming, exercise, art projects, day trips around the community, and the planting of an annual community garden. FiftyForward Bordeaux is also one of our two centers offering Metro Services congregate meals which deliver nutritionally sound meals to eligible older adults.
