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.
During times of loss, many families find comfort in making a meaningful contribution in honor or memory of their loved one.
At Mercy House, we're deeply grateful to receive memorial gifts that continue a legacy of caring and compassion. Whether your loved one was part of our Mercy House family or not, a donation in their name helps us provide comfort, dignity, and support to others during their most vulnerable moments.
These donations create a beautiful way to celebrate a life well-lived while making a lasting impact in our community. If you'd like to make a memorial or honorary contribution, please visit our website. We'll ensure that the family is notified of your thoughtful gesture.

Love this!💞💞💞
A HUGE thank you to Arpitha, Sai, and Ajay, the amazing interns from Keystone Infectious Diseases who stopped by to ask about volunteer opportunities and ended up rolling up their sleeves to organize the Swartz Library shelves and place bookplates in every single book!
Your enthusiasm and willingness to jump right in made such a difference. What started as a simple inquiry turned into hours of valuable assistance that saved us so much time and effort. This is exactly the kind of community spirit that makes our work possible.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication, and best wishes on your future endeavors!

This is awesome! Thank you!
The ones left behind need more care than the ones who are gone. Let the dead rest and let the others grieve.

When Mercy's not busy visiting guests and their families and friends, he can usually be found napping in the sun by the front door. As the furriest member of the Mercy House welcoming committee, his work is important and greatly appreciated.

Loved it when he was on my Son's bed. Mercy was a comfort to Tom.
Mercy was such a sweet boy and a great comfort to our family during a difficult time!
He's the most chill cat ever!♡
"I could never thank you enough for allowing me to remain in the room with my husband. He did not want to die alone. Every minute with him was-is-and ever will be precious to me. Thank you, again." Sharon, spouse of Mercy House guest
