Tennessee Caregiver Coalition

Join the Tennessee Caregiver Coalition for the Caregivers Walk on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in Nashville, TN — a community event dedicated to honoring and supporting family caregivers across Tennessee. Participants are encouraged to create teams with friends, family members, coworkers, and community groups to walk together in support of a meaningful cause. Every step helps raise awareness, celebrate caregivers, and strengthen resources for those who give so much to others every day. More details coming soon!

Happy Pride Month!

This month, and every month, we celebrate love in all its beautiful forms, the courage to live authentically, and the vibrant diversity that makes our world brighter.

According to a 2024 AARP survey, 58% of LGBTQ+ adults aged 45 and older are current or former caregivers. They are 1.2 times more likely to be primary caregivers than their non-LGBTQ+ peers, and 3.5 times more likely to provide care for friends and “chosen family.”

Let’s honor the history, uplift LGBTQIA+ voices, and stand together for equality, acceptance, and kindness. Whether you’re marching in a parade, sharing stories, or simply showing your support, you are part of the movement toward a more inclusive future.

Love is love.

Our application period is now open April 1st – June 30th, and we’re excited to welcome caregivers across Tennessee to apply for respite support.

Each year, our waitlist resets. All caregivers, including those currently on the waitlist, must submit a new application during this window to be considered for funding.

Dear Caregivers and Volunteers,

We regret to inform you that our Group Respite Program will be on hold this summer as we take the time to evaluate and improve our offerings. During this period, we will also concentrate on recruiting and training more volunteers to enhance and broaden our programs for the future.

We truly appreciate the chance to work alongside you in supporting families, and our aim is to ensure a top-notch experience for everyone involved. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Interested in volunteering? Please contact Imani Wright, Group Respite Volunteer Coordinator, at (615) 922-4700.
