  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

Sometimes, we are blessed enough to be able to help our residents who are well enough to live on their own find permanent housing. Despite them being off-site, they are still a part of the Welcome Home family and we like to make sure they still know they are cared for as they start their new chapters. This is where our Graduate Support volunteers come in. Just one visit or call a month can mean a lot to these beautiful folk.

About WELCOME HOME OF CHATTANOOGA

Location:

3131 QUIET CREEK TRL, CHATTANOOGA, TN 37406, US

Mission Statement

Welcome Home of Chattanooga’s mission is to create a community of hope, healing, and compassion for those who are facing a serious illness or death and need safe shelter.

Description

Welcome Home of Chattanooga began in 2015 with six friends of diverse backgrounds gathering together in prayer and mindfulness, recognizing a need to serve those who are terminally ill. With encouragement from the community, we were able to turn "we wish" into "we can!" Since then, we have expanded to include our cancer respite program and a Graduate Support system which enables us to help those who have been found permanent housing.

Welcome Home provides:

  • A growing community of care and shelter. We currently have one 4-bedroom hospice home and two 3-bedroom homes for cancer respite.

  • Warm meals and comfortable living spaces

  • Support through trained staff and volunteers

  • Partnerships with local agencies that provide professional care

  • A place of support and community for those in need

  • Assistance with applying for appropriate benefits for residents

  • Education for students and the community regarding the discussion and care around death and dying
