Volunteer Efforts Improve Housing Conditions for Senior Resident in Nashville
Nashville, TN — Turner Construction Company volunteers recently collaborated with Rebuilding Together Nashville (RTN) to conduct essential home repairs for a retired resident living in the Dickerson Pike Corridor. This initiative aims to enhance the safety, comfort, and stability of a longtime homeowner in the community, emphasizing the ongoing importance of corporate social responsibility and community support.
Details of the Home Repair Project
The homeowner, an older adult who has lived in her house for many years, expressed a strong desire to maintain her independence and sense of stability. Safety concerns and general maintenance issues prompted her to seek assistance through RTN’s Safe and Healthy Home Improvement Program (SHHIP). The program focuses on addressing urgent repairs to ensure residents live in secure and healthy environments.
RTN coordinated efforts with Turner volunteers and professional contractors to assess and prioritize repairs needed in her home. The primary work involved replacing damaged flooring, upgrading the kitchen and bathroom, and engaging in outdoor cleanup and seasonal landscaping projects.
Specific Repairs and Improvements
Turner Construction’s support consisted of multiple critical services, including removing old carpet and clearing outdated furniture to prepare spaces for renovation. Volunteers also painted the kitchen, improving aesthetics and ventilation, while installing a new comfort-height toilet to enhance accessibility and dignity for the homeowner. Additionally, their work extended to spring cleaning tasks, like yard cleanup, contributing to overall property safety and curb appeal.
In collaboration with RTN contractors, the team focused on ensuring that all repairs met safety standards and contributed to creating a more functional living space. The project demonstrates how targeted volunteer work can significantly improve residents’ quality of life, especially for seniors who wish to stay in their homes comfortably and securely.

Through volunteer labor, expertise, and monetary investment, Turner has supported RTN’s mission to ensure that all residents have access to safe, healthy, and affordable housing.
The project also underscores the importance of addressing individual household needs as part of broader neighborhood revitalization efforts. The Dickerson Pike Corridor has been a focus area for RTN, with initiatives aimed at improving housing conditions, fostering community resilience, and promoting neighborhood pride.
