MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Mission: To help people help themselves by providing knowledge and resources to improve the quality of life. Founded in 1974, the Mid-Cumberland Human Resource Agency is an independent, non-profit organization committed to helping individuals and communities become more self-sufficient. Mid-Cumberland provides services that work toward improving the health, well-being, and economic opportunities of people needing critical support or of those who may have an immediate need.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Mid-Cumberland makes a positive difference in the lives of Tennesseans by working in partnership with them to foster independent living and, in the process, restore hope and dignity to their lives. Headquartered in Nashville, Mid-Cumberland spans Middle Tennessee with offices in 13 counties.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

SERVING 13 COUNTIES Our service area includes Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Houston, Humphreys, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson, and Wilson counties, with our central office in Nashville (Davidson County). Meals-on-Wheels: A hot meal and a good friend are two of life’s greatest enjoyments. Meals-on-Wheels has been providing both for more than 40 years. In fact, we provide congregate meals, home-delivered meals, outreach, nutrition education, supportive services, and recreational activities for individuals age 60 and older. Hot meals are planned by a registered dietician and prepared in a commercial kitchen Monday–Friday and delivered to the meal sites; volunteers deliver the meals and take great care to place food in proper storage. Each meal site must pass the Health Department’s rigorous cleanliness and safety inspections. Research shows that seniors who have pets also have fewer physician appointments—21 percent fewer visits than those who do not own a pet. So in response, we have also partnered with various vendors to offer pet food delivery. Public Transit: WITH FARES OFTEN LOWER THAN THE COST OF A GALLON OF GAS! Mid-Cumberland Public Transit is a curb-to-curb rural transportation system with flexible schedules to meet the needs of its passengers. Rides are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to medical appointments. While we request advance notice, it is not required. Please be assured your personal information will remain confidential. We are a general public provider, equal-opportunity employer, and serve all 12 Middle Tennessee counties. As a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, all donations are tax-deductible. Mid-Cumberland Homemaker: Mid-Cumberland's Homemaker service provides essential services to some of the Mid-Cumberland region’s most vulnerable residents: its seniors, disabled, and individuals at risk of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The Homemaker service provides essential in-home services to elderly and disabled individuals enabling them to retain their independence; free of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Many elderly residents in the Mid-Cumberland region live alone and are in danger of being neglected, exploited, or abused. With the broad range of services offered we are able to address most of the services needed to allow the client to remain SAFELY independent in their own home. Homemakers perform the essential tasks which the client is no longer able to do for him or herself. Most commonly staff assist clients with budgeting, bill paying, access to medical care, community resources, legal assistance, general household tasks, and essential transportation as well as performing additional essential tasks which the client is no longer able to do for him or herself. Homemakers also assist in investigations and provide monitoring to ensure clients experience elimination of or reduction in abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The Homemaker is often the only advocate our vulnerable clients have. Without Homemaker services many residents would be forced into institutional care prematurely or worse; remain victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation by those that were supposed to protect them. Workforce Services: Mid-Cumberland WorkForce Services is dedicated to developing a stronger workforce throughout Tennessee. Since 2000, MCWFS has provided Middle Tennessee with dedicated Workforce Development programs. Mid-Cumberland WorkForce Services actively works to remove barriers from participant’s lives in order to help them along their career pathway to success. ADDITIONAL SERVICES INCLUDE: Ombudsman, Community Corrections, DUI School, Misdemeanor Management, Representative Payee Services, Rural Planning Organization.
