Methodist Specialty Care

When Methodist Specialty Care Center opened, people used a lot of flattering phrases to describe Mississippi's first long-term care facility designed especially for the younger, severely disabled person. But a place to call home is the description we like best.

The unique accommodations combined with skilled clinical services provides an environment where residents can thrive. Residents at Methodist Specialty Care Center stay active, socialize, learn new things, venture out into the community and enjoy life to the fullest extent possible.

Examples of activities include fishing, shopping, reading, attending sporting events and festivals, web based studies, worship services and dining with friends and family. That makes the center the perfect place for those who are completely reliant on others for their activities of daily living, but don't necessarily fit or desire the traditional nursing home setting.

Please call 601-420-7760 or e-mail jrobertson@mmrcrehab.org if you would like to receive more information about Methodist Specialty Care Center.

The center houses 60 private rooms with private baths and is designed to seem more like a home than an institution. Gone are long hospital-like corridors and in their place are short, carpeted passageways that reduce the distance between the nurses stations and the residents rooms.
