The best-kept secret …
The best-kept secret in Mid-Missouri, the Laurie Care Center (610 Highway O, PO Box 1068, Laurie, Missouri 65038) is off the beaten path and truly a community within a community.
Just a few of our features include not one, but two outdoor courtyards, an Amazing Activity Center, a Coffee Bistro, an Ice Cream Shop, and a Gift Shop for our residents and visitors. The Coffee Bistro is available 24 hours a day. The Ice Cream Shop and Gift Shop are run by volunteers 6 days a week.
Centrally located, the Laurie Care Center is only a few hours’ drive from Missouri’s major cities: Saint Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Springfield, and Branson.
Nestled closely to the largest man-made lake in the United States, the Lake of the Ozarks, the local attractions abound and are enjoyed by our residents as well.
