Our Story
In the early 1970s, members of the First Presbyterian Church in Cape Girardeau envisioned a vibrant residential community for retirees. This vision led to the establishment of Cape Retirement Community Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for seniors. By 1979, The Chateau Girardeau welcomed its first residents, and over the past 40 years, it has evolved into a highly-regarded full-service campus, adapting to the needs of the community and the industry.
