Background
Since its inception in 1980, the Senior Center has focused on supporting healthy aging. It was
initially a small program, serving 220 older individuals annually, operating 30 hours a week, with
minimal staff of one and one half positions, in limited space located in a local recreation facility.
From this humble beginning the Center program has evolved into a true multipurpose focal point
for senior services in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County. In 1982, the Program moved to a
newly constructed 5,000 sq. ft. facility at 325 St. Clair Street. Due to the steadily increasing
numbers, programs, activities, and individuals served, two expansions have added an additional
24,200 sq. ft. of space to the facility: 3,200 sq. ft. in 1986 and 21,000 sq. ft. in 1999. In 2001 the
pre-existing 8,200 sq. ft. of space was remodeled. Interior Design staff from the MTSU Human
Science Dept. assisted with the selection of furnishings, fixtures and finishes to give a warm,
welcoming appearance. With increased visibility, more space and additional staff of nine full time
and ten part time, activities and services have expanded exponentially in response to defined
needs. Cooperative relationships with over fifty agencies in the community have been
instrumental in facilitating expanded services. Areas include Health and Wellness in 1993, Social
Services, Caregiver Support in 2004, Adult Day Services in 1999, education/seminars,
intergenerational, socialization, and recreation. The Social Services Department presents physical
fitness programs to Center participants. Our Caregiver Resource and Education Center programs
have won area and/or state awards for excellence in programming. Center participants have
taken part in three published research studies: The Benefits of a Strength Training Program in a
Senior Center, Advantages of Relaxation Techniques in Adult Day Service Programs, and
Influences of Health Literacy and Attitudes on Completion of Advance Directives. It should be
1noted research involving senior centers is scant. Today, the Senior Center enhances the lives of
over 3,000 older adults and their families annually in a variety of ways through lifelong education,
physical activity including mental fitness, socialization, and volunteerism. Approximately 200-250
older individuals daily take advantage of opportunities offered.
Impact

Statement from CEO/Executive Director
As the Facility Superintendent of St Clair Street Senior Center, I have witnessed firsthand the
extraordinary difference the Senior Center makes in the lives of older adults and their children.
With the cooperation and support of many agencies and individuals in the community, the
program has evolved into the focal point it is today. Here are some reasons to invest in the
program. With a 35+ year history of delivering high quality services, the Center currently is one of
four in the 13 county Greater Nashville Regional District to achieve LEVEL IV status. This is based
upon a variety of standards to be met. In the most recent survey conducted, 95% of the
respondents indicated the Center provided them with helpful information about aging, 97%
reported coming to the Center increased their knowledge, 98.6% felt the Center was important in
their lives, providing significant services. Volunteers are involved in all aspects of programming.
Last year 182 volunteers contributed over 8,800 hours of service. Marked by professional,
committed and caring staff, several programs have received national, state and area awards.
Proud of our innovative, flexible and creative approach, we partner with over 50 other local
organizations and agencies. We continually seek out new collaborative opportunities to achieve
mutual goals, maximize resources, improve and expand service delivery to seniors and their
families. America is 'graying' - individuals age 65 and older are the fastest growing segment of
the population. Services offered in the Senior Center play a vital role in the senior's ability to
maintain an independent lifestyle, offer enrichment and add quality to life. The Senior Center's
record of exemplary service makes us worthy of your investment.
Statement from Board Chair
St. Clair Street Senior Center is a safety net institution in our community, not just for the poor, but
for all older adults, disabled citizens and their families. To quote Dr. Ron Aday, past Director of
Aging Studies at MTSU and former St. Clair Commission member, in his prepared remarks before
the US Senate Special Committee on Aging in 2003, "Multipurpose senior centers have been
identified as preferred, focal points for comprehensive and coordinated service delivery to elderly
people. Given the number and importance of senior centers in the service delivery network it is
imperative that they continue to evolve to meet the unique needs of the "Baby Boomer"
generation." As the sheer numbers of seniors continue to increase daily in our Rutherford County
communities, we need meaningful financial support, or seniors will suffer due to loss of service.
Older adults who frequent St. Clair report receiving helpful information, increased knowledge, and
learning new skills, which contribute to their continued independence. For older persons at risk of
losing their self-sufficiency, St. Clair is an entry point to an array of services that will assist them
as they "age in place." St. Clair offers a wide range of health, education, recreation, volunteer and
other social interaction opportunities for participants that enhance dignity, support independence,
and encourage community involvement. In addition, St. Clair serves as a resource for the entire
2community, providing services and information in aging, and assisting family and friends who
care for older persons.

Programs
Life Enrichment
Description
A variety of Life Enrichment programs and activities offer education,
health/wellness, and socialization for individuals age 60 and over. The
programs help keep seniors mentally/physically active - combating
depression, loneliness, and isolation. Options range from one day trips to
classes in ballroom and line dance, foreign languages, crafts, oil painting,
and more. Recreation opportunities add "spice to life." Card games, billiards,
chess, and dominos help keep one mentally alert and provide socialization.
The Telephone Reassurance Program adds quality to life for frail,
homebound individuals who may have little social contact. Daily Center
attendance averages 200 to 250 individuals. In FY 2017-2018, 2,936 seniors
were served. On a recent survey, 89% of the respondents reported they
come to the Center once a week or more and spend an average of 2.9
hours. An overwhelming 98.6% felt the Center is important in their lives.
THAT IS SUCCESS!
Budget $1,083,627.00

Description
Health promotion and wellness programs operate in the Senior Center each
day Monday-Friday from 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. as well as Saturday from 8:00

Wellness Department sponsors monthly health education programs and bi-

on life changes with aging and refers to physicians as needed. Unique is the
opportunity to discuss health concerns with a trained medical professional.
Exercise classes offered include core strength, senior strength, functional
fitness, dancercise, yoga and others. These services enable elders to
