Merrick House DAC ( formally called The Social Service Co. ( Trinity College ) Ltd. has been providing sheltered accommodation for the people of Dublin since 1902. In 1953 the Company joined with Dr. Margaret Merrick, a GP in the South Inner city, who was a pioneer in the care of senior citizens, and the Irish Red Cross Peoples Committee to develop services for older people. The house has been completely refurbished and extended, and accommodation is provided for 18 residents in pleasant single bed / sitting rooms with full en suite facilities.
Our mission is to provide accommodation and main meal for senior citizens with limited financial means, who are encouraged to live as independently as possible.
