First Lady Sandra Granger cuts the ribbon to the Mercy Resident Care Home, in the official commissioning of the building.

The Mercy Resident Care Home, a branch of the St Joseph Mercy Hospital, was officially opened on Tuesday.

The hospital said that in addition to live-in accommodation, the facility will also be providing daycare and short-term stay services.

Helen Browman, the Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the hospital, explained that the home will be providing day care services for the elderly to be accommodated while their family members are at work, as well as the opportunity for individuals to be housed for short periods, such as in the case where relatives may leave to go on vacation.
