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.

Our volunteers are amazing! They put in countless hours of time and are invaluable! We don’t say thank you often enough!

Yeah, my sissy Brenda

Music often fills our common areas, bringing comfort and joy to our guests. Whether it's soft classical melodies or beloved hymns, these musical moments add another layer of peace to our home-like environment. We believe in nurturing both body and spirit.

It is one of the most peaceful places to have your loved one go to too pass away at them make you feel like family and they take very good care of your loved ones

Here’s Mercy, our beloved house cat, who brings comfort and joy to our guests and their families. His gentle presence and soothing purrs create moments of peace and normalcy in our halls. Many of our guests enjoy having him curl up beside them for companionship.

Mercy is the best!

"I love working at Mercy House! It’s something our community has desperately needed. I’ve wanted to work in end-of-life care ever since graduating from nursing school in 2017, and the door opened for me here at just the right time.

Being able to care for people at their most intimate and vulnerable time is a true honor. Providing peace and comfort to not only the guests but also their families is very rewarding."
