YOUR CHATEAU, IN YOUR WORDS

See what our current residents have to say about living at The Chateau Girardeau!

Residents at The Suites

“My wife and I feel very relaxed and comfortable here with the other residents. We feel welcomed; a part of the big picture.”

Residents at The Terraces

“At our age, 86 and 91, we need the support to remain as independent as possible. We came 12 years ago to be closer to (80 miles) our medical care, we did not come too early.”

Resident at the Estates

“It is much better than living alone in a house with a yard to keep up. I also had to take care of all repairs and improvements.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for residency in the Chateau?

Any person who has attained age 60, is in reasonably good health (being capable of independent living at the time of occupancy) and who has sufficient resources to meet the initial financial requirements of The Chateau is acceptable for residency.

In the case of spouses and/ or domestic partners, only one needs to have reached age 60.

What is a CCRC?

Continuing Care refers to the fact that, in addition to independent living, all levels of care are available to residents on the same campus. This includes assisted living, skilled nursing care and specialized senior rehabilitation and therapy services.

What if there is a medical emergency?

Help may be summoned to apartments or homes at any hour of the day or night by use of a notification system located in the bathrooms and/ or via phone. This notification system directly alerts our on-site 24/7 nursing staff. Arrangements can also be made for daily checks by staff to ensure that residents are up and moving safely about their home.

Do I still pay property taxes?

No. The Chateau residents do not own the Estate homes or apartments in any lifestyle level and will not have to pay property taxes.
