Welcome To Flat Rock Homes

What do you do when your child's disabilities are so severe that they demand 24 hour a day eyesight supervision? Where do you go when your child's mental retardation/developmental disabilities cause them to be unable to function even in the multi-handicapped resource classroom of your local school? Who do you turn to when you are weary and desperate in wanting more for your child than the system seems to be able to offer them, and than you are humanly able to provide? Where can you find a place where your child can become and grow in a peer group of others who live with similar challenges, and who have within them similar gifts?

Flat Rock Homes is an agency which serves children and adults with disabilities, many of whom also have physical, emotional and psychological diagnoses. Flat Rock Homes provides homes for persons with MR/DD who demand a special kind of care and therapeutic treatment because their form of MR/DD causes them to display severe aggressive behavior. Through our two service corporations, Flat Rock Care Center, and Flat Rock Community Services, our school program known as Flat Rock Educational Center, and our Day Support Program, the staff of Flat Rock make it possible for the miracle of growth to occur daily.

Flat Rock is a church-related agency in covenant relationship with the United Methodist Church. On our 500 acre campus setting we serve children and adults with MR/DD in the 35 bed Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded (ICFMR).

On and off our campus we serve nearly 60 adult persons with MR/DD in community settings where staff support and guidance is offered for daily living. At all times we strive to live out the mission to which we are committed. The mission of Flat Rock Homes, Flat Rock Care Center, and Flat Rock Community Services is to provide quality care to persons with mental retardation/developmental disabilities and to persons with critical needs in ways that demonstrate God's love.

Flat Rock is a place where we see miracles happen every day. Offering the latest in therapeutic treatments, the best practices in care for persons with MR/DD, and wrapping that all in a profound love for the persons who are entrusted to our care, Flat Rock has been a ministry to vulnerable children and adults and their families since 1866. In our new state of the art facility program staff, nursing staff, therapists and administration strive to assist children and adults to grow to their fullest potential in a secure and nurturing environment.

If you have not seen Flat Rock's ministry we invite you to come and visit us and learn more about the amazing people we serve who are overcoming more challenges in a day than most of us encounter in a lifetime. They are truly remarkable people, and we'd like you to have the same joy we have in knowing them and understanding how much they have to offer the world.
