What makes your business unique?

Carlos & Emmagene Ratliff, owners: Ratliff Care Center is family owned and operated. With 50 years of experience and hands-on management, we provide the best of care possible.

What future plans do you have for your business?

During 2012, we underwent an extensive remodel to bring a new look to our facility. During this remodel, each of the resident rooms received electric beds, which feature auto contour and mattresses that redistribute pressure and conform to the resident. New flooring, lighting and cabinetry also helped us to achieve our goal of creating a homelike atmosphere. Looking toward the future, we hope to install new landscaping and new signage as well as enlarge our rehab center.

Our goal is to be a place where seniors can come and have peace of mind while receiving the long-term care they need. Some of our clientele who choose us today are the sons and daughters of those who chose us yesterday. They will have the same high quality care, but with a fresh new look.
