About Methodist Specialty Care Center
Methodist Specialty Care Center in Flowood, Mississippi is a residential care facility specializing in care for younger, severely disabled individuals who require skilled nursing services. The center, established in 1975, was Mississippi's first residential care facility designed specifically for this population and serves residents typically aged 17 to 55 who are completely reliant on others for activities of daily living.
The facility provides skilled clinical services tailored to residents' complex but stable medical needs, including bowel and bladder management, skin management, and medication management. Staff members, including biomedical engineers and assistive technology specialists, focus exclusively on serving the severely disabled population, ensuring expertise in this specialized area of care. The center maintains a warm, inviting, and barrier-free environment with all private rooms that incorporate state-of-the-art medical technology.
A structured activity program encourages residents to remain engaged and active in community life. Offerings include resident interest classes in range of motion, arts and crafts, games, aroma therapy, and music therapy. The center emphasizes helping residents achieve the highest level of independence possible while addressing their clinical, social, and spiritual needs.
Admission is selective and based on several factors, including the severity of disability, medical stability, the facility's ability to meet individual needs, and compatibility with the group environment. Applicants must demonstrate that the center represents the least restrictive setting appropriate for their level of disability and that their well-being cannot be adequately met in other settings not specifically designed for the severely disabled.

Impeccable,,, all l can personally say,,, l honestly couldn’t stop talking about how clean the place was and how well cared for the gentlemen l came to see appeared just flawless!!! This was my very first visit and l know this gentleman to have been bedridden for at least a year! As l entered the facility the lawn was well manicured and cared for,,, the foyer area clean and inviting with notable attention given to every aspect of sanitation necessary! I kind of expected to smell odd smells or see unkept areas,, little trash maybe,,,, to my surprise every inch of that building was spotless!!! THE RESIDENTS WERE VERY WELL CARED FOR,,, even in the residents room,, everything was specifically in its place,,, l couldn’t stop saying this is the cleanest nursing facility I’ve ever been in in my life!!!! THE STAFF,, kindly asked if everything was fine,,, how were we related,,, was everything ok,, it just really warmed my heart to see people so passionate about what they do when no one is watching,,, we just happen to drop in,,,, from out of town,,, GOD IS SURELY GOING TO BLESS THESE PEOPLE FOR BLESSING AND CARING FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE!! No I’m not related to the patient just a visitor!!!

Very clean facility. The staff isn’t very friendly with the new employees. Also, they allow the residents to speak to you in a degrading manner. Administration just says, “Oh they do all the new people like this.”

Do not take your love one to this facility. They refused to let us see our mother even with a court order. This how people with black or brown skin gets treated. Our mother suffered mental and emotional abuse and neglect.

These folks are amazing. Both the nursing staff as well as the thrapy staff saved me. I will never in my life forget a single one of them. I came in on a stretcher unable to walk or eat and walked out 3 months later and I eat anything now. God bless each one of you! Joseph Goddson. Room 310
