WHAT WE DO
Compassionate and loving shelter and care for those in need of cancer respite or hospice care
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
We do this by:
Working with local agencies to provide in-home medical care and support
Investing in and benefiting from partnerships, friendships and guidance from local groups, agencies, churches and synagogues, neighbors, universities, and hospitals.
Building relationships with residents and one another to impact and improve end-of-life care and cancer respite care in Chattanooga.
Requesting that residents pay on a sliding scale for room and board. Funding is also provided by fundraising, donations and grants, as well as in-kind, for-impact gifts.
Ensuring that we are good neighbors and a benefit to the neighborhood and community around us, as well as good stewards of our resources.
At Welcome Home, everyone is welcome and has a place: those with or without a home, those in need, volunteers, widows and couples, young and old.
