Motivation and Fulfillment

Enrich for Life was founded to improve the quality of life of higher-functioning adults with IDD in Middle Tennessee with intellectual and developmental disabilities through enrichment programs,  social and educational outings, one-on-one consultation, and pursuit of residential solutions.


Co-founders Chris and Allison Bender are motivated by a desire to provide housing and personal development opportunities for adults with special needs - men and women like their daughter, Carlye.

Residential Options

Motivation and Fulfillment

Motivation and Fulfillment

Few suitable residential opportunities exist for thousands of intellectually challenged adults in Middle Tennessee, if any. The Benders founded Enrich for Life to help explore new residential models for adults with IDD funded by their earnings, family/friend support, and funds newly available through TennCare - ECF Choices. 


For those who qualify, TennCare funding for residential support is available for adults with IDD through Employment and Community First Choices.  

Enrichment Programs

Faith Friends, Enrich Bowling, Bocce Ball, and Acrylic Painting Classes, dinner and lunch outings, movies, holiday parties  (and more) help our participants make "real" friendships, hold real conversations, and enjoy looking forward to whatever activities that appeal the them!

Lasting beneifits include personal growthand  self-confidence, improved social skills, empowerment, laughter, fun, happiness, and life-long learning.
