Ratliff Care Center

Ratliff Care Center sits on North Sprigg Street in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and has served older adults in the community since 1965, though the current owners, Emmagene and Carlos Ratliff and their son Mike, have managed the facility since 2005. People know the center for nursing home care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, and support for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and it's a place where the staff provides help all day and night, every day of the week. Folks living there get attention for both long-term stays and short-term respite care, and the staff includes nurses, physical therapists, and other trained professionals who work to give care that matches each resident's needs. The center offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with a focus on promoting comfort, recovery, and day-to-day function. Residents eat meals planned and made by chefs who pay close attention to nutrition, taste, and quality, and everyone has access to cozy common rooms, modern amenities, and safe outdoor spaces where people can relax. Groups and activities help folks stay social and active, and the community has earned recognition for having friendly staff and a wide range of engaging programs. The Ratliff family and their team try to keep a warm, supportive place, always focused on quality and care. The facility accepts most private insurance and holds certifications from Missouri Medicare & Medicaid. Ratliff Care Center operates as a limited liability company and maintains licenses in both Missouri and Illinois, offering a licensed skilled nursing environment for older adults seeking different types of help or support.
