Mercy Village

Mercy Village is an affordable senior housing community in Joplin, Missouri, opened in May 2005. It is located half a block from St. John's Mercy Hospital, providing residents with easy access to healthcare and community services, particularly beneficial for those with limited mobility.

The community was developed by Catholic Health Initiatives' St. John's Mercy Hospital in response to growing demand for affordable senior housing in the area. The property is situated on land that became available when the hospital developed a new road through its medical campus. The development was remodeled and renovated in 2012 and encourages good health through proximity to the hospital as well as access to nature and recreation.

Mercy Village is conveniently located near the city's Sunshine Lamp trolley system, enhancing transportation options for residents. Housing at Mercy Village is available to seniors earning 50% or less of the area median income, making it an important model for co-located affordable housing and healthcare services.
