Country Aire Retirement Center

Nestled in the rolling hills of northeastern Missouri, Country Aire Retirement Center provides dedicated skilled nursing care to residents and families throughout Lewis County and the surrounding region. Located at 18540 State Highway 16 in Lewistown, the community is managed by Prime Healthcare Management, an organization committed to delivering high-quality, person-centered care with a focus on dignity, comfort, and clinical excellence. Lewistown sits at the heart of a tight-knit rural community where neighbors know each other by name and the pace of life remains unhurried — qualities that translate directly into the warm, attentive atmosphere residents experience at Country Aire. The surrounding Lewis County countryside, with its scenic farmland and forested ridgelines, offers a peaceful setting that many residents and their visiting families find deeply restorative. Families seeking care for a loved one will appreciate the community's proximity to regional medical resources. Hannibal Regional Hospital, a full-service acute care facility located approximately 35 miles to the south in Hannibal, MO, provides specialist services and emergency care. Knox County Memorial Hospital in Edina, MO is another accessible option for ongoing health coordination. The proximity to Hannibal also means families can combine visits with a trip to one of Missouri's most beloved small cities — home to Mark Twain's birthplace, the historic downtown riverfront along the Mississippi, and a variety of dining and shopping options along Broadway and McMasters Avenue. For day-to-day needs, residents' families will find grocery and retail options in nearby Quincy, Illinois, approximately 35 miles to the east — a vibrant river city with a full range of services, including Quincy Medical Group facilities for specialist consultations. Closer to home, the community is surrounded by the quiet character of small-town Missouri, where local churches, community events, and Lewis County's agricultural heritage create a strong sense of place. Prime Healthcare Management's stewardship ensures that Country Aire Retirement Center maintains rigorous standards of skilled nursing practice while preserving the personal, community feel that rural Missouri families trust. Whether a resident requires short-term rehabilitation or long-term skilled nursing support, the team at Country Aire is dedicated to meeting each person's needs with expertise and genuine compassion.
