As one of our largest senior communities, many of our West Park residents and staff have enjoyed life at West Park for over 10-15 years. West Park is also the home of DayStae and TimeSlips©, programs designed to stimulate the minds and memories of those seniors with memory impairments.

Rehab Services (Inpatient and Outpatient)
Mercy's long-term care facilities offer on-site, comprehensive rehabilitative services. We provide physical, occupational and speech therapy to help our clients restore and maximize their activity levels and their quality of life.
Inpatient Services
We provide short-term inpatient services for people who have been discharged from the hospital, but who are not yet ready to return home. Working with a nursing and social services staff, we help the individual and family determine a plan of care that enables an appropriate and safe return home.
Outpatient Services
We provide outpatient services with a one-on-one approach, where the individual is the focus.
LifeLine Emergency Response System
Mercy Lifeline is pleased to provide our senior communities with America's most trusted medical alert service. For more than 30 years, Lifeline has enabled millions of people to live with greater independence, peace of mind and dignity in the place they feel most comfortable-their own homes.
