Mercy Crest is a Christian-affiliated senior living community nestled across 19 acres in Barling, Arkansas, managed as a mission-based ministry by the Sisters of Mercy. The campus provides independent apartments and assisted living spaces tailored for older adults and disabled individuals. A core focus of the organization is economic inclusivity, and the facility accepts Medicaid to ensure low-income families have a reliable pathway to long-term residential care.
Licensed staff remain on-site 24 hours a day to handle medication management, coordinate therapies, and provide daily hands-on personal care. The property features safety infrastructure, including a full-campus backup power generator, building-wide security, and emergency call systems in every apartment. For convenience, residents receive regular housekeeping, laundry assistance, medical shuttle transportation, and heart-healthy meal services.
The rural Sebastian County property carries a walkability score of 11 out of 100, which reflects a car-dependent layout typical of the region. While the quiet, expansive setting prevents residents or visitors from running errands on foot, it offers a scenic, peaceful environment away from heavy traffic.
Prospective residents can speak directly with the administration team to discuss the financial application process for Medicaid waivers, view floor plans, or verify current apartment availability.
