Overview of Martin-Boyd Christian Home

Martin-Boyd Christian Home provides assisted living and memory care in Chattanooga, TN. Assisted living supports residents with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management while they maintain their own apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having both care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, without requiring a move to another community. The home has 124 beds and opened in 1984. Respite care is available for short stays, which can give a family caregiver time to travel or recover.

Brooke Steele serves as the administrator. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy services allow residents to receive rehabilitation without arranging transportation elsewhere, which can make ongoing therapy easier to manage. A beautician is available Wednesday through Friday, and the community offers Assisted Care, Daily Social Activities, and Golden Day Programming.

The area has a Walk Score of 51 and is described as somewhat walkable. Some errands can be completed on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach nearby destinations independently.
