2023 TFA Conference
Taking Aging to Higher Elevations
November 27-29, 2023
Gatlinburg, TN
THANK YOU!
Words cannot express the gratitude we have to everyone who helped make this years conference such a success! The move to a new venue, bringing back the Virtual Dementia Tour and adding exciting new opportunities for attendees to engage in the conference all contributed to another successful conference! We had another year of record attendance, a merry and bright time at the Holiday Bash, recognized the co-workers and friends we have lost across the aging network during our first In Memoriam Tribute and raised nearly $3,000 for scholarships in our second Silent Auction fundraiser and so much more!
We are excited to share with you our Award Winners, Conference Breakout Session materials, and photos of this years conference on the 2023 TFA Conference page of the website.

Tennessee Federation for the Aging Continues Memory Café Grant Program
The Tennessee Federation for the Aging (TFA) in partnership with Amerigroup Tennessee is continuing the Memory Café grant program for Year 2 beginning in April 2023.
Memory Café grants allow local community organizations to offer services to individuals with dementia and their caregivers. A locally operated Memory Café provides regular, enjoyable social interaction with others in similar circumstances. The Café provides a safe, welcoming environment on a drop‐in basis that involves appropriate activities, conversation, education/information and fellowship.
Grants for Year 2 of this program were awarded to:
- Rosemark Church, Millington for West Division
- FiftyForward, Nashville for Middle Division
- Alzheimer’s TN – Cumberland and the Upper Cumberland AAAD for Middle Division
- Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga for East Division
TFA Memory Café Grants are for a one‐year term to offer Memory Café activities each month. A typical gathering could be 5‐25 persons depending on the host organization capabilities. Grantee organizations receive startup technical assistance from TFA and Amerigroup Tennessee.
During Year 1 of the Memory Café grant program more than 1,100 persons attended TFA Memory Café events across the state. Seventy-five unique Memory Café events provided hospitality, interesting and engaging programs and information about dementia and appropriate resources to individuals suffering from dementia, their caregivers and families, and interested community members.
