Welcome!
Thank you for visiting our web site. I hope you find it an informative
and helpful resource for learning about our organization.
Mississippi Methodist Senior
Services has over a 40 year tradition of providing housing and services
to older adults in Mississippi.
We
have one mission: to serve older adults in the spirit of Christian
love. Our 550 plus employees and 1,600 volunteers make that mission
their prime focus. Today, we serve more than 1,600 elders in our
11 independent living, personal care and skilled nursing care retirement
communities, with campuses that range from almost the Tennessee
line to the Gulf of Mexico.
As a recognized leader in the care of elders,
MSS
opened the nation’s first Green Houses® on our Traceway campus
in Tupelo, Mississippi. The Green House® Project philosophy is a distinctive
approach to delivering care based on the Eden Alternative Principles
developed by Dr. William Thomas. Each residence is a “warm,
smart and green” home where 10 elders live together and receive
the skilled care they need on a daily basis. Elders have their
own private bedrooms with a private bath. A kitchen and dining
room complete
the hearth area where elders can participate in the activities
of daily living, including setting the table, assisting with meals
or
simply enjoying a cup of coffee at the dining room table while
meals are being prepared. We hope this is just the beginning of
transforming
long-term care of elders throughout the nation.
Our
vocation springs from God’s call to honor
and respect our elders. We share a mutual ministry with, and
are related to,
the Mississippi Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.
