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.
Nestled on 5.6 wooded acres, the center’s timber-framed entranceway impresses all who walk through our doors. Since opening in December 2002, FiftyForward Martin Center has seen significant, constant growth in membership and in community attention and use.
Members flock here for a spectrum of classes and programs. Popular exercise classes are Pilates, flex exercise, low-impact aerobics, Tai Chi, and yoga. Special interest groups respond to members’ programming requests: Wine Sippers, book club, art classes and the standard social attraction of card and board games.
FiftyForward Martin Center hosts many Brentwood/Franklin area civic groups for their regular business meetings. The center is also a popular venue for weddings, receptions, reunions, birthdays and other special events.
In addition, calendar highlights are printed in the FiftyForward quarterly publication, Forward Focus, also available at the center.
