Why Community Matters More Than Ever After 60 - and How to Find It in Nashville

At the Renaissance Center, community grows into friendship.

Loneliness isn’t something people expect to experience later in life - but it’s more common than many realize.

Life changes.
Schedules shift.
Social circles get smaller.

That’s why community becomes even more important after 60.

Connection Is Essential at Every Age

Community isn’t just about being around people. It’s about:

  • being known

  • being welcomed

  • having somewhere to go where your presence matters

For older adults, regular social interaction helps support:

  • mental health

  • emotional resilience

  • physical activity

  • overall quality of life

But finding that kind of community can feel intimidating - especially if you’re new to the area or unsure where to start.

A Welcoming Space in West Nashville

Renaissance Center Nashville was created with one simple idea in mind:
Everyone deserves a place where they feel connected.

Here, community grows through:

  • shared classes

  • casual conversations

  • group outings

  • volunteering together

  • celebrating milestones, birthdays, and everyday moments

It’s not about being busy - it’s about being together.

What Makes Community Here Different

People often describe Renaissance Center as feeling:

  • friendly

  • relaxed

  • inclusive

  • comfortable

There’s no pressure to perform, keep up, or “fit in.” People show up as they are - and that’s enough.
