Living Options

 

What senior living options does Our Lady of Mercy offer?

 

Our Lady of Mercy Country Home offers both Independent Living apartments and Assisted Living in Liberty, Missouri.

Independent Living is designed for seniors who want to maintain their independence while enjoying meals, activities, housekeeping, transportation and access to emergency assistance.

Assisted Living provides additional day-to-day support, including personal assistance, medication administration and around-the-clock care staff.
