Showboat Retirement Center was established in 1993 by Ronald and Arvey Foote, inspired by the desire to care for Arvey’s parents and uncle. They had been caring for Arvey’s parents and uncle when the old Bishop Randal hospital building came up for sale, and they decided to purchase it in order to provide a suitable environment for her family, as well as other seniors in the community who needed additional services that they were unable to find at home. Their business began as a Board and Care and later became an Assisted Living Facility. 

Showboat has always been a family owned and operated business. Ron and Arvey ran it with the help of Arvey’s family, and after Arvey passed away in 2019, Ron began training his oldest granddaughter to take over the family business. 

The business has grown a lot since 1993 and will continue to grow and transform in order to meet the needs of the amazing community we live in.
