empowering people to live longer, more fulfilling lives
Since 1960, Senior Neighbors has been Chattanooga's resource for all things related to aging well. Known for empowering and advocating on behalf of seniors, we collaborate with other community service providers to develop new approaches to aging.
We provide social, recreational and educational programs and activities designed to maintain and improve health and wellness for older adults, opportunities for creative and artistic expression, organized physical activity and exercise, and information related to healthy lifestyles.

On May 7 - 10, we hosted the 2008 Senior Olympics - 362 local athletes competed in 21 different sports. Winners earned a spot at the State Senior Olympics Games to be held in Franklin, TN July 18-24. Highlights of our local games this year include:
