Helping Adults with Disabilities and Aging Adults Live a Healthy and Secure Life

In 1975, Journeys in Community Living was founded as the Rutherford County Adult Activity Center. After changing its name in 2011, the organization now serves more than 120 adults with intellectual disabilities and aging adults in Rutherford and Cannon counties. Services include community participation, industrial training, job training and placement, and more.

Journeys operates the organization with the belief that everyone, regardless of disability or age, has the right to live a healthy and secure life; work at a meaningful job they enjoy; live in a home of their own with whom they choose; have relationships in their lives, and to participate in and contribute to their communities.

Over all the years, the people we support have led the changes to our organization and the services we provide. They have paved the way forward with their abilities, interests, and, most importantly, dreams and aspirations. Our future will be even brighter thanks to them.

Even though it is difficult to predict where they will be heading over the next several decades, a few things are certain. Those served by this organization are going to continue to amaze with their abilities, to move and inspire with their courage, and to bring joy to the lives of those around them each day.
