Welcome Home of Chattanooga Creating a community of hope, healing, and compassion for those who are facing a serious illness. We have served 129 individuals since opening - thanks to YOU.

Welcome Home opened in March 2015 to meet a need: providing a non-profit hospice and cancer respite community for those in need of shelter and care. This home is for the community and supported by the community - all are welcome to come and love! All deserve to have dignity, grace, forgiveness and connection at the end of life - to know that you matter, that you will not be forgotten, that you are important and valuable. We need your support - with volunteering, prayers, and funding! Please share our mission with others.

💛 Humans of Welcome Home 💛

Martin Gadd has spent a big part of his life beside people in the final chapter of theirs.

He trained as a nurse in England, working in surgical and medical intensive care, and later did the same work here in the States. Along the way, he was part of code teams and crash teams, and he saw a great many people pass.

Years later, after exploring other paths, something kept tugging at him.

“I wanted to again become involved with people who are in the process of passing,” Martin says. “I feel called to assist in their care and help them and their families overcome the natural anxiety that comes with that passage.”

That feeling led him to one of our Demystifying Death classes. After the class, he began volunteering with us and has been here ever since.

“[Welcome Home is] one of the warmest, most nurturing organizations I have ever been involved with.”

Martin knows that the people we care for are incredibly resilient, but are also vulnerable—not just because of their health. Many have carried emotional pain for most of their lives. For him, the warm and accepting environment here makes a real difference in easing that anxiety.

Martin, thank you for bringing your experience and your heart to the people who need it most.

For years, we've dreamed of this moment. And thanks to the support of the The Rotary Club of Chattanooga Hamilton Place and help from Eagle Scout Troop 166 and other beloved community members, that dream became a reality this weekend.

Together, we hung lights on our new chapel and shared an incredibly sacred task: interring the remains of 11 beloved Welcome Home residents into our beautiful memorial garden that Earthscapes, Inc. built for us.

This is something we've wanted to do for many years, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped us lay our people to rest.

To those who joined us this weekend, thank you. These sacred spaces will be officially open soon, and we can't wait to share them with all of you. 💛

💛 Humans of Welcome Home 💛

Barbie Potts knows firsthand the role that hospice can play in having a good death.

Her journey with Welcome Home began back in the Germantown Road days.

“I was a nurse living in Chattanooga, and I wanted to find a way to give back,” she shared. “That’s how I first found Welcome Home.”

Barbie volunteered for many months, but as a busy nurse and mom of two, she had to step away. Then, her husband got sick at the age of 55. He died of lung cancer seven weeks after his initial diagnosis.

“It was an absolute whirlwind. We used hospice, and the minute they took over, I could finally take a deep breath. I got to be his wife instead of his nurse. They were waiting with supplies the day we came home from the hospital; they came any time I called.

On his last night, a hospice nurse stayed with us. After seven weeks without sleep, everyone in the house finally dozed off, and she woke us gently just before he passed. His death was peaceful.

After I’d done some healing, I came back to Welcome Home in 2025. In the Jewish faith, it is tradition that no one is left alone after they die. We stay with them until the funeral home comes. This is considered one of the greatest deeds there is, because it is completely altruistic. It comes straight from the heart.

My friends ask if volunteering at a hospice home is hard, after everything I’ve been through. It’s not. It brings me joy. As a nurse, I was drawn to labor and delivery because you’re helping bring life in, and I love hospice because you’re helping someone be at peace.

Volunteering at Welcome Home has been incredible. I’ve been able to be with these amazing people and I just love it here. It’s been so healing, and it has made me so happy.”
