FiftyForward centers are a great place for folks to gather, learn, and socialize. As we monitor coronavirus developments, we are working diligently to balance the needs of our members as well as potential risks.
Based on input and guidance from experts, we will be making the following changes. Beginning March 16th through April 30th:
- Center programming and activities will be suspended.
- Adult Day Services will be suspended.
- Team members will establish some new ways to reach out.
- FiftyForward Fresh/Meals on Wheels will continue to operate.
If you know of an older adult in need, please call us Monday-Friday at 615-743-3416. The health/wellbeing of our center members and program participants is paramount in everything we do at FiftyForward.
FiftyForward J. L. Turner Center is a partnership between FiftyForward and the YMCA of Middle Tennessee
The center provides enrichment for older adults through age-appropriate health, wellness, social and educational opportunities. As the center is co-located at the Bellevue Family YMCA, FiftyForward is able to offer individual and group exercise classes in a wellness environment. Our facility opened in 2006, and this unique partnership was the first of its kind in the country. All Bellevue YMCA members who are 50+ are automatically enrolled members of J. L. Turner Center. Please stop by or a call to learn about all of the wonderful activities that our members enjoy!
For more information on membership, please visit the Bellevue YMCA/FF website.
