The Misericordia Skilled Nursing Facility at Mercy Hospital of Philadelphia bridges the gap between a hospital stay and home, or another facility. The goal of the Skilled Nursing Facility is to help patients obtain their optimal level of physical, emotional and spiritual health, enabling them to return to a supportive community environment, preferably at home.
Length of stay is based on a patient's recovery and progress.
The Skilled Nursing Facility, owned by Mercy Adult Services, operates as a separate facility within Mercy Hospital of Philadelphia. Access to the hospital's full range of services is arranged under management contract with Mercy Hospital of Philadelphia. In keeping with the mission of Mercy Adult Services and the Sisters of Mercy, the facility is designed to respect the dignity and rights of all residents. Children of all ages are welcome to visit. Under these requirements, no resident will be denied admission or any form of care or services on the grounds of race, color, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, religious creed or handicap.
