Independent Living
Reenergize your daily life. Pursue your favorite interests; explore new ones. Embrace each day as you wish.
There is no entrance fee to join Mercy Circle’s not-for-profit, independent living community. Our rental plan charges a monthly fee which covers everything, including a one- or two-bedroom apartment with its own temperature control system, a full kitchen, and washer and dryer. Click on the top two icons in the right-hand column to see myriad amenities offered.
In addition, the monthly fee covers your meal plan that includes a choice of dinner or lunch in the dining room. You also may enjoy light meals and snacks in our Bistro. Our housekeepers tidy your apartment every two weeks. These services free up more of your time to prioritize the people and activities that you most enjoy.
Here we embrace life with spirit. Our residents thrive when their faith is nourished. Inspired by the Catholic faith of the Sisters of Mercy, our full calendar of activities includes liturgical services every week. Residents of all religions are welcome to join programs including prayer, music and activities that lift the spirit.
Residents always are free to set their own schedules. Our independent living community features an exercise room, salon, landscaped gardens and walking paths; gathering and game rooms offer many opportunities to stay active and get to know your neighbors. Your friends and family are always welcome for visits. Plus, you’ll benefit from the vibrant, welcoming community on Chicago’s Southwest Side, where interaction with neighbors in Mt. Greenwood, Beverly and the Village of Evergreen Park help residents remain connected.
At Mercy Circle, you’ll find a thoughtful, caring community of like-minded residents who enjoy each other’s company and support one another. Many residents reunite with childhood friends. They also build new friendships when gathering for activities and especially for meals — because at Mercy Circle, you’ll never have to dine alone.
Our independent living residents benefit from putting our core values into action. Every aspect of our not-for-profit community is inspired by our values of respect, compassion, hospitality and collaboration. Every decision is designed to see our residents thrive!
