Mercy Senior Care

Founded in 1979, Mercy Senior Care has been sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy and Saint Joseph’s Health System since 1989. The mission to care for the aging residents of northwest Georgia has been carried into the future by Mercy Senior Care’s compassionate, competent staff, an active board of directors and a dedicated group of volunteers.
