About the Chateau

The Chateau is a diverse retirement community on forty acres of land in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. A busy port on the Mississippi River between St. Louis and Memphis, the city is an attractive retirement destination due to its location, size and distinctive combination of attributes. The Chateau’s park-like setting is immediately adjacent to Cape’s world-class medical centers. Top-rated golf clubs, numerous retail shops and Southeast Missouri State University are short minutes away.

Although originally developed by the First Presbyterian Church of Cape Girardeau, it is owned by Cape Retirement Community, Inc., a local not-for-profit, non-denominational corporation. It is governed by a board of directors comprised of local executives and nonprofessionals, as well as Chateau residents. An experienced management team and large staff of devoted employees provide resident care that is incomparable to most any other facility.
