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.
Cotton Point Living Center is legally operated by New Madrid No 1, Inc, and administrated by Carter Pennington.
In Missouri, the Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Regulation and Licensure performs the inspections and unannounced surveys required for all long-term care providers.
