Welcome to FiftyForward J. L. Turner Center!

The FiftyForward J. L. Turner Center, in partnership with the Bellevue Family YMCA, provides members with opportunities for a healthy lifestyle while encouraging social and community involvement. Through partnering with the YMCA of Middle Tennessee, FiftyForward has been able to offer individual and group experiences in a fitness/wellness center environment. This new facility opened in September 2006, the first of its kind in the nation to house a senior center and a Y in partnership. All Bellevue Y members age 55 and over are automatically members of the Turner Center.

The J. L. Turner Center provides health, wellness, nutrition, computer and art groups/classes, travel, genealogy and socially based interest groups. Community business partners sponsor health and wellness screenings, walking groups, lunch programs and community volunteer projects for Turner members. The Center has fostered the Bellevue Community Chorus.    

In partnership with Metro Nashville Public Works, the J. L. Turner Center members monitor the Bellevue Recycling Center on Highway 70, distribute information and assist Center visitors with their recycling. In partnership with the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, FiftyForward Turner hosts a quarterly "Bellevue Goes Green" seminar for Bellevue residents - both private and business.

Living At Home Services care managers and service providers assist individuals who want to remain independent in their own homes, their caregivers and families.
