THE MISSION
BY 2020, 22% OF TENNESSEANS WILL BE 65 OR OLDER.
3 IN 5 OF TENNESSEE'S NURSING HOME BEDS ARE MEDICAID FUNDED
THE HARD TRUTH
The Tennessee Coalition for Better Aging exists to promote the general welfare of older Tennesseans and their families, through partnerships that mobilize resources to educate and advocate for important policies and programs.
With the current federal threats to the older adult safety net, representative organizations of older Tennesseans convened in an effort to quickly respond thoughtfully to any legislation that might harm older adults. The Coalition for Better Aging will continue to take collective action to ensure that older Tennesseans can age with dignity.
