Mercer Terrace

Mercer Terrace sits on one level and has wide hallways, making it easy for everyone to get around, and you'll find a mix of living choices from studio apartments that are about 308 square feet to one-bedrooms around 420 square feet, and all of them have their own kitchenette, refrigerator, and freezer so you can keep your favorite snacks handy, plus there's climate control, window coverings, carpeting, lots of closet space, a regular mailbox inside your apartment, good lighting, and sprinklers for extra safety, so it's about comfort and taking care of needs big and small. Staff include a full-time registered nurse on duty 24/7, keeping an eye on care and health, and every resident gets their own tailored care plan to address what matters to them, whether it's day-to-day help like bathing, dressing, or medication reminders-folks who need more support can use assisted living services, and there's memory care here, too, for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, ensuring safety and specific care when it's needed, while others who like being independent but want community can use the independent living option. Mercer Terrace welcomes pets and even has a dog park with a secure fence for safe playtime, and the community runs plenty of outings for shopping, dining, and even entertainment, so people stay involved with what's happening beyond the walls. There's always something on the activities calendar, like tai chi, group exercise or wellness classes, arts and crafts, bingo, board and card games, and themed parties to help everyone meet up if they feel like it, and you'll see outdoor gatherings with barbecues or a carnival now and then on the grounds. Residents get healthy, chef-prepared meals paired with a sample dining menu, and the building includes a hair salon and barber shop, activity room, lounges, guest accommodations, and weekly cleaning and laundry, so chores don't get in the way when you'd rather spend time on hobbies. Scheduled transportation makes it easier to get to doctor appointments or group day trips, and staff organize regular events and live entertainment so there's always a chance for laughter or learning something new. People who get skilled care at Mercer Terrace receive more support on site, and specialized programs are in place for those who need a little more than just reminders and meals, and funding resources are available for residents who qualify, helping with planning and costs. Mercer Terrace cares about making the setting social and safe, with caring staff, personalized care, medication management, and support that lets seniors thrive, and even if there's no long list of unique amenities to share, the community keeps a homelike, comfortable environment where everyone can feel they belong.

Mercer Terrace is managed by Enlivant.

Enlivant, founded in 1981 and formerly headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, was a pioneering senior living provider that operated over 200 communities across the United States before transitioning management to new operators in September 2023. Previously known as Assisted Living Concepts, the company rebranded as Enlivant as part of a strategic repositioning that included relocating its headquarters from Wisconsin to Chicago. Under the decade-long leadership of CEO Dan Guill, Enlivant served thousands of seniors with a team of more than 7,000 dedicated caregivers.

The company offered a comprehensive range of senior care services including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and short-term stays. Enlivant's pioneering approach centered on creating supportive, stimulating environments where residents could thrive in mind, body, and soul. Their unique Resident Care Partner program paired each resident with a dedicated caregiver to ensure personalized attention and continuity of care. This person-centered philosophy emphasized building meaningful relationships and fostering vibrant communities where seniors could maintain their independence while receiving necessary support.

Enlivant's commitment to quality earned significant recognition, with 50 communities receiving Best Senior Living awards and 20 communities achieving prestigious industry certifications. The company was widely acknowledged for its operational excellence and resident satisfaction, maintaining strong performance metrics throughout its operational period. Following industry consolidation trends, Enlivant's communities were successfully transitioned to new operators in 2023, ensuring continuity of care for residents. The legacy of Enlivant's person-centered care philosophy and dedication to enriching seniors' lives continues through the communities now operated by various successor organizations, maintaining the high standards of care that defined the Enlivant experience.
