AARP Tennessee Seeks Nominees for 2017 Andrus Award for Community Service

There’s a lot to see and do in Nashville, but getting around is not so easy for residents who no longer drive. That’s why AARP Tennessee has joined a coalition developing Senior Ride Nashville, an assisted ride service that will provide affordable transportation for residents 60 and older. Clients will pay a small annual membership fee and prepay for low-cost rides.

Contact your elected officials through Facebook Town Hall.

A new organization, Honoring Choices Tennessee, has been formed to increase the number of Tennesseans who have an advance directive for healthcare. An advance directive for healthcare is a document that would tell family and care providers a patient’s preferences for care should they ever be in a position where they could not make decisions and communicate them for themselves.
