The '60s TV show Petticoat Junction was unofficially based on the Burris Hotel in downtown Eldon, which contains a definite flavor of this small central Missouri town in rural Miller County. The mostly open farm country is home to over 25,000 people, 19% of whom are seniors aged 65 and over. Within the town limits of Eldon, at least five assisted living facilities offer local seniors independent living with daily assistance for personal care and meal preparation. These facilities are regulated on the state level by the Missouri Department of Health.
