Laravel variable to URL without changing url-route path

I'm new to laravel and am interested in adding a variable from a db to the end of my url without effecting the path. for example if a user logs in and has variable = hello assigned in the db the url will read http://app.com/home/hello. However I don't want the this to change where my routing, so its still looking at /home and not for /home/hello I've tried to change the routing in web.php as follows:

Route::get('/home',function(){
    return redirect('home/');
});
Route::get('/home/', 'HomeController@index');

But this seems messy and it's not pulling my variable from the db. I'm sure there's a better way I haven't been able to find. I'm not looking for a complete solution, just a link to a tutorial or point in the right direction.
