House of Mercy
The House of Mercy is your home away from home during a
medical crisis, treatment, or procedure at the hospital. It is not a hotel,
but a house shared by family members and caregivers of patients receiving
medical care at Mercy Memorial Health Center. Guests of the House of Mercy
must live outside of Ardmore, Oklahoma. It’s a place of comfort for a
peaceful night or if you just need a shower and a place to lie your head
down for a few hours of rest. Guidelines have been established for the
comfort, support, and safety of all guests. Guests with special medical
needs and those requiring personal attention or supervision must be
accompanied by a caregiver. The House of Mercy is a safe, secure, peaceful,
caring environment within walking distance of the hospital, restaurants, and
shopping.
Check-ins

Check-ins are accepted 24 hours a day. Guests are

guaranteed or reserved in advance.
