Mercy Circle is a faith-based senior living community sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite care, hospice, and at-home support, and you'll find that it doesn't require an entrance fee, making it a little more accessible for many. The community focuses on the individual needs of seniors with compassionate care, and the staff tries to anticipate what residents need before they ask, always aiming to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The independent living apartments come in different sizes, including one-bedroom-plus-den, two-bedroom, and deluxe two-bedroom layouts, each with full kitchens, washers and dryers, spacious living areas, private patios for ground floor suites, and temperature control, so folks can settle into a home-like space and even cook and bake in their own kitchens if they wish, though they can also enjoy restaurant-style meals with a dining program that includes one meal each day and a Bistro for snacks.
The assisted living services offer help with managing medications, walking, bathing, dressing, and bathroom use, so residents get the care they need but keep their independence as much as possible, and in the nursing and short-term rehabilitation, there are personalized recovery suites that feature private bathrooms, making it more comfortable for people who need care for a little while or on a long-term basis, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available six days a week. For those living with memory issues, the Memory Care wing includes suites like Baggot Street, designed for safety and comfort with full bathrooms that are easy to access, familiar layouts, color-coded decor, spiritual quotes, and staff trained in memory support, plus a secure garden area with interactive spaces featuring birds and fish to encourage calm and engagement.
Residents at Mercy Circle can join activities, read in the library and reading room, enjoy the arts, play games in the gathering rooms, or spend quiet time in peaceful courtyards or on walking paths. The on-site chapel, open meditation rooms, and daily liturgy, including Catholic Mass, allow folks to practice their faith, and there are plenty of ways to join in shared interests, hobbies, and volunteer ministries. Additional features include a private dining room for special occasions, salon services, an exercise room, scheduled transportation, on-site banking, and ground floor suites that open directly onto landscaped gardens. The community offers a safe, home-like place for a limited number of residents with a focus on respect, loving kindness, and Christian values, always trying to create a familiar community feel rather than a large, impersonal facility.
