There is no entrance fee at Mercy Circle. Your monthly rental fee includes a spacious, bright apartment in a newly-constructed building, along with plenty of extras. As a resident, you will enjoy amenities including scheduled transportation, an exercise room and salon, gathering and game rooms and on-site banking.
Ground floor suites open onto a private patio adjacent to the landscaped garden and walking paths. Garage spaces are available for a small monthly fee. Free outdoor parking for guests and residents is conveniently located just steps from the main entrance.
We offer a one-bedroom-plus-den, a two-bedroom or a deluxe two-bedroom apartment, each with its own temperature control. All apartment floor plans have a spacious living room, full kitchen including a dishwasher, and come with a washer and dryer.
The Mercy Circle dining program provides one restaurant-quality meal each day: breakfast, lunch or dinner. Visit our Bistro for a snack or you can cook and bake in your fully-equipped kitchen. A private dining room is always available to entertain or celebrate special occasions.
Given the eye appeal of the architecture and design, the comprehensive list of services and the limited number of residences, you may feel like you are our guest in a loving home. Because, in a sense, you are.
