Providing compassionate care for those at the end of life.
Our Mission
To offer comfort-based personal, emotional, and spiritual care to guests of Mercy House; to provide support for families and friends of guests; and to coordinate community education, engagement, and involvement.
Mercy House provides compassionate end-of-life care in a calm, peaceful setting. The physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of guests are addressed, and families and friends are comforted and supported.
Mercy House is an independent nonprofit and is the first home of its kind in Franklin County, serving members of the community and surrounding counties who cannot be cared for at home or don’t need to be hospitalized. Uniquely designed to manage end-of-life care, Mercy House employs specially trained and licensed caregivers who are attentive to individual needs. Partnering with area hospice agencies in creating comprehensive plans for holistic care, Mercy House is proud to be part of the movement to improve the end-of-life experience for individuals, families, and friends.
This holiday season, please consider supporting Mercy House, helping us as we provide compassionate care and comfort to those in their final journey. Your generous end-of-year donation helps us continue to offer dignity, peace, and loving support to individuals and loved ones during life's most profound moments. Every contribution assists in meeting our mission of providing exceptional, comfort-based, end-of-life care to our community.

Visitors to Legacy Lights last weekend enjoyed this recipe so much that we ran out!
Tracey's Creamy Crockpot Hot Chocolate
Ingredients: 6 c. whole milk (or 3 c. milk and 3 c. half and half), 2 (12 oz) cans evaporated milk, 2 c. heavy cream, 2 tsp vanilla, 3 c. chocolate chips, marshmallows if desired.
Instructions: mix all ingredients in a 6 qt crockpot, cook on low for 2-3 hours. Stir often in the first hour to make sure chocolate incorporates and doesn't burn. Leave on warm once it is heated through. 30 minutes before serving, add large and mini marshmallows, they'll get melty and yummy!
This can also be made in a large stock pot; mix all ingredients, stir on low until chocolate is melted, simmer with lid on.

Does the wall have anything to do with Tom Stonesifer ? Loved him 🙌
Luminaries lined our hallways over the weekend in memory of our honored guests who passed away since we opened. Families and friends enjoyed time sharing stories and solace, creating new memories at Mercy House. Sincere gratitude is extended to Pyramid Construction Services, LLC for sponsoring this meaningful memorial event, and to our dedicated volunteers who helped each evening.

Thank you for doing luminaries it was nice to see that my mom was honored that way it’s going to be hard to celebrate this Christmas because of her loss in February
This is so beautiful! 💞💞💞
I have been in the health care setting since I was a little girl learning from my mother, who worked as a nurse for many years. When I lost my mom unexpectedly in March 2023, I was inspired to pursue working with those at the end of life. It is my goal to show love, courage, honor, respect, and compassion during unimaginable grief and difficult times, and I am privileged to serve our guests and their families and friends.
