The Life Center of Davidson County

The Life Center opened its doors in July of 1980. The organization’s first home was at the old Lexington Hospital. The center’s name originated from the abbreviation “ ”, which stood for “Lexington Interests For the Elderly”. In 1986, a steering committee was formed, and in the late 1980’s, The Life Center became incorporated and received its 501(c)3 non-profit status.
