A wide spectrum of residential options

Misericordia’ s residential services provide a wide range of choices for individuals to thrive in an environment they chose that allows them to live as independently as possible.  Each residential option is supported and connected through Misericordia’s campus, where a comprehensive network of services and opportunities are provided.  Misericordia provides residential options both on campus and in the community.
