Welcoming community. Many activities for everyone (both those able-bodied and those with disabilities).
What our family likes the most about The Village at Mercy Creek is the friendly problem solving staff members they have working there. We also really like how well the residents are kept safe and active. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

friendly atmosphere, good fit for my mom's needs
The staff at Village at Mercy Creek is very friendly and they are all kind to my mother. The thing that stuck out most about this facility when we were initially looking was definitely the cleanliness of everything. I would definitely recommend Village at Mercy Creek to others looking for assisted living.

Peace of Mind for Mom
I have all positives about Mercy Creek. The staff is always friendly, calls the residents by their name in the hallway. The food is excellent. I even met the Chef. They really enforce COVID protocols. It is a non-profit. They have a daily activities calendar. Painting, movies, guest speakers, they also have an activities coordinator who send me periodic updates on what the residents are doing

I toured The Village at Mercy Creek and it was a great facility! The cleanliness/friendliness/staff were all great, as well. My mom just thought that one of the other facilities that we had toured felt more homey.

An upbeat and friendly place!
This beautiful facility has a welcoming lobby, a protected/shady court yard, and numerous activity and meeting spaces. The friendly staff knows everyone's names and are most helpful. The Life Enrichment Director and assistant offer a nice variety of activities for the residents. There is a staff-operated van for field trips, shopping, or doctor appointments. A great feature of MC is the ability to tailor their care services to each resident.

Our experience
We chose The Village at Mercy Creek because we were looking for assisted living and when we walked in it did not smell. At the time, they had a discount on the room which made a big difference. Everybody here was super friendly during our experience. Unfortunately my parents did have to move out, but we would recommend as long as your loved one can be more independent.

My daughter had worked with A Place for Mom when we first started the search for my parents but this gorgeous community was not referred to us! I am so happy we came across this through a google search and I couldn't have been more happy with how the team treated us, even through the Covid-19 pandemic. We were able to tour virtually and meet their kind and compassionate team. My mom was even able to meet with a few residents via the computer and the laughter they had was very encouraging. The menu looks amazing, too! It has been hard and quite honestly, a little scary trying to get my parents to make a change but I am so thankful for the kindness, professionalism and expertise the team at the Village of Mercy Creek has. If you are just starting a search or almost to a decision, I'd highly recommend you take the time to look at this diamond in the rough.
