Key Review Excerpts

The Mercy House at 550 Rock St in New Braunfels Tx is the best place for memory care. My kids and I searched everywhere in the area (San Antonio, Seguin and New Braunfels). This was the best in terms of caring, food and entertainment.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

We had to move mom from California from a memory care facility and the transition for mom has been amazing. The facility and caregivers are very compassionate and the hospice service they have provided have given us reassurance that we made the right decision.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

I am a nurse myself and when visiting Mercy House, assisted-living and memory care, I really enjoyed seeing the interaction with all of the residents and staff, you can tell that the caregivers love on all of them and it’s so genuine.
