Memory Care

Memory loss takes a toll not only on older adults but also on those who love them. Care requires the kindness and patience of professionals trained to provide support for individuals who benefit from thoughtful reminders and reinforcement. Providing a safe, secure memory care community is a key part of our faith-based mission.

Caring for people experiencing Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or early memory loss requires respecting each person’s individual strengths and reducing challenges so they make the most of every day.

For residents in Mercy Circle’s memory care community, every thoughtful detail fosters joy, embraces faith, and maximizes functional skills. Our residents and their families draw strength from our faith-based spirit and familiarity with Catholic traditions.

Each resident’s suite includes a full bathroom built for accessibility and safety. In common areas, visual cues—from color-coded decorations to inspiring quotations—gently promote and maintain mental agility. Activities are designed to meet residents where they are and help them remain active and engaged.

Enjoying nature also plays a part, thanks to our secure garden. Residents stay cognitively engaged and socially connected by helping nurture birds and fish as well as caring for plants and flowers.

This community, known as Baggot Street, is named for the site of the first House of Mercy established in 1824 by Catherine McAuley, who sought to provide a refuge for Dublin’s most vulnerable women. In 1831, she founded the Sisters of Mercy, a Catholic order of  Sisters. Her spirit of compassion is the foundation for everything we do at Mercy Circle. For those experiencing cognitive challenges, Baggot Street provides familiarity and support and a sense of belonging.
