Overview of Cotton Point Living Center

New Madrid No 1, Inc., and administrator Carter Pennington handle operations at Cotton Point Living Center, a 98-bed nursing home situated at 609 South Railroad Street in Matthews, Missouri. Financial billing is sorted through traditional avenues, clearing payments via Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding landscape is highly car-dependent, carrying a walkability score of 10 out of 100, which means family members will need a vehicle for almost all trips to the campus.

Operational records indicate a 61 percent occupancy rate alongside an average length of stay of 247 days. This operational timeline reflects a routine balanced between short-term post-hospital therapy tracks and multi-month residential placements. Daily physical care and medical needs are monitored by an around-the-clock staffing framework providing an average of 3 hours and 46 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, with registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides covering standard unit rotations.

Official survey summaries indicate that inspectors flagged specific procedural corrections regarding general building operations and compliance guidelines, meaning the property’s long-term cumulative citations-per-inspection rate is above zero.

Families can evaluate how the campus integrates short-term physical rehabilitation loops and permanent skilled nursing care. The facility provides standard services, including a dedicated male memory care unit, freshly prepared daily meals, and common social spaces.

Files from public health departments document how the facility manages its ongoing licensing evaluations. Recent state inspection survey records show that the facility has logged specific compliance deficiencies concerning standard infection control protocols, resident rights protections, quality of life standards, and nurse staffing availability, meaning the home’s total cumulative citations-per-inspection rate is not zero and families should review these corrections directly with the administration.

Older adults can access a clinical setup configured for cardiac recovery, stroke rehabilitation, orthopedic care, wound management, respiratory therapy with tracheostomy support, and IV medication administration.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Missouri

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Missouri?

Assisted living in Missouri is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Missouri Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Missouri Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 282 nursing homes in Missouri. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Missouri?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Missouri, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Missouri?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
