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.
Grief is a deeply personal journey that looks different for everyone, and there's no 'right' way to experience it. Whether you're dealing with anticipatory grief before a loss or processing the death of a loved one, know that you don't have to walk this path alone. Contact us at Mercy House for further information.

Did you know that quality end-of-life care focuses on the whole person, not just their medical needs? At Mercy House, we believe in providing comprehensive comfort-based care that addresses physical symptoms while also supporting emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Our experienced care team works closely with families to ensure their loved ones maintain dignity and peace during this important transition.

"Working in end-of-life care is a gift. This job provides a deep sense of purpose in my life because I know I am having an impact on our guests and their families at a very hard time, striving to make the end-of-life process as positive and easy as I can for them."

Mercy, our mascot, takes a well-deserved rest after bedside visits with guests and lots of interaction with families and friends. He spreads comfort and care to everyone he meets as he makes his rounds each day at Mercy House.

"In 1976, I took a Death and Dying class in college as I pursued a degree in social work. We had to read the book On Death and Dying by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, and I've had a calling for hospice-type work ever since. I'm now a retired hospice social worker.
As a volunteer at Mercy House, I'm able to use my experience and knowledge to serve in end-of-life care, whether for the guests or their families. It is an honor and a blessing from God to spend time with people offering information, help, and comfort during such a difficult time in their lives."
