Mercer Terrace offers assisted-living as its primary level of care, giving residents help with daily activities while encouraging as much independence as possible. Short-term respite stays are an option for families who need temporary support, and specialized diabetes management and mental-wellness programs are available for those who require them. Residents have access to on-site doctors, prescription oversight through structured medication management, and coordinated hospice services when needed.
Clinical resources are reinforced by 12- to 16-hour nursing coverage, licensed nurses, and regular visits from podiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, and dentists. Incontinence management, ambulatory assistance, and a secure memory-care area are part of the support network. Safety features include an emergency call system in each apartment and a community-wide sprinkler system. An enclosed courtyard adds an extra layer of security for residents who benefit from a controlled outdoor setting.
Apartments range from studios to one-bedroom layouts, and a select number accommodate overnight guests when space permits. Features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, wall-to-wall carpet, washers and dryers, window treatments, generous closets, cable or satellite TV, phone lines, Wi-Fi, and central air conditioning are available in various combinations, though not every unit includes every feature. Outdoor areas, a butterfly garden, multiple lounges, parking for residents, and a library with computers add to the living options. Cats are allowed, and the community is generally pet friendly, but restrictions may apply.
Dining focuses on balanced nutrition and flexibility. Three daily meals are included, and an all-day dining option allows residents to eat on their own schedule. Healthy snacks, vegetarian choices, and menus that can be prepared organic, low- or no-sodium, or no-sugar are offered. Guests can purchase meals when visiting, and clinical staff coordinate with the kitchen to align meal plans with individual health needs.
Residents can take part in a full calendar of programs that includes fitness classes, health and wellness workshops, bingo, karaoke, arts and crafts, clubs, community outings, birthday parties, happy hours, dances, and live-music events. An activity center, dedicated arts-and-crafts space, swimming pool, activity room, and outdoor walking paths support these events. The goal is to provide consistent social engagement and physical activity to complement each resident’s care plan.
