Overview of Martin-Boyd Christian Home

Martin-Boyd Christian Home is an assisted living and memory care community in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that offers personal care, dementia support, rehabilitation services, and respite care. Founded in 1984 by local Churches of Christ congregations, the community has grown from a small residential home serving nine residents into one of the larger nonprofit senior living communities in the Chattanooga region. At present, it is operated by Martin-Boyd Christian Home, Inc., with 124 licensed beds across multiple care programs. The community has also received repeated recognition in the Chattanooga Times Free Press Best of the Best awards for both assisted living and memory care services.

As a nonprofit organization, the community emphasizes mission-driven care rooted in Christian values and service-oriented support. Its nonprofit structure also allows the community to offer an all-inclusive pricing model that combines housing, meals, and care services into one rate rather than relying heavily on layered service charges. This approach appeals to families seeking more predictable long-term financial planning within a faith-centered environment.

The community provides several levels of support under one campus setting, including assisted living services such as medication management, continence care, housekeeping, and meal support. Advanced assisted living accommodates residents with higher support needs, while specialized memory care services are offered through two distinct programs tailored to different stages of dementia progression.

The Encore memory care program is designed for individuals in earlier stages of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia who still benefit from a more socially integrated environment with modified support. Memory Lane serves residents in more advanced stages of cognitive decline through a secure and structured setting focused on safety, consistency, and meaningful engagement. In connection, Golden Day Programming is conducted, a daily routine built around familiar schedules, cognitive stimulation, group activities, exercise, meals, and individualized engagement intended to support comfort and emotional well-being.

Clinical support also includes on-site nursing coverage available 24 hours a day, along with physical, occupational, and speech therapy services. Monthly wellness screenings are conducted for residents, and dietary accommodations are available as part of the dining program.

Regarding regulatory history, inspection records reference a consent order associated with a 2023 inspection conducted by the Tennessee Department of Health, Division of Health Care Facilities.

Martin-Boyd Christian Home is a practical option for older adults and families seeking assisted living or memory care within a nonprofit, faith-centered community that combines multiple levels of support, structured dementia programming, and a long-established presence in the Chattanooga area.
