Our families experience

What we like the most about John Knox Village is that it is a real community, mom had never been in a 'community setting' before, and it was great, restaurants, neighbors that got to know you, and a very thoughtful administrative staff.

Review for John Knox Village

The nurses at memory care 2 proactively give info to family. Both MC1 and 2 are open to receiving phone calls and they give info when requested. I knew I was going to need independent living, assisted living and memory care and all that comes after. And JKV offered discounts for starting at Independent living. Bought in for the discount.

John Knox Village review

We love the place. They were very easy to work with from the beginning all the way through the move in. We chose this place because of Location first and then the niceness of the staff.

The staff had a good rapport with my Mom

The staff is quite amazing. It is nice that they have an in-house physician dedicated to AL & MC. We were able to do Hospice in her apartment. Very nice that John Knox has varied levels of care available. Do not need to find a different facility when needs change. Communication with staff was great. The staff had a good rapport with my Mom. They responded well with her and built a good trusting relationship with her and with family. They. Treated her like she was a member of their family. I live 120 miles away from her. They would have to call to inform me if she fell or needed to go to the ER. Each week when I would visit they would discuss any concerns I had and share any changes they were starting to see. Her nurse case manager was very responsive to phone calls or emails.

Where are the resources?

Before moving in to JKV independent living and investing in long term care, staff were so attentive and full of helpful information and answers to the simplest of questions. Since living there for 3 months, where did all the helpful people go? Maintenance tickets get closed without being worked. Dial a Ride and Maintenance answer the phone with tone. The request to move a piece of furniture or hang a picture on the wall get ignored. I've attempted to get questions answered about the art room, to no avail. Now considering a move to another building and I feel like I'm getting vague information. I've already made the investment so we're here until the end, I just wonder if it can turn around.

Every Staff Person Shines

I haven't met a staff person yet that didn't seem to enjoy what they were doing. from the initial calls and tours to the orientation packets, to the move in coordinator who answered questions face to face, every phase was explained and explained again when needed - all through people with sunny dispositions. the restaurant and small coffee shop next to dad's building have both been amazing: great food quality, friendly and patient servers. He's only been to 1 other restaurant but had the same great experience there. I would definitely recommend, based on our experience. Maybe any level beyond dad's independent living would see different things - but I kind of doubt it!

Review for John Knox Village

They have been in business a long time. There was a sense of "we know how to do this". It was also closeby, my mother is in memory care at a different facility. And, one of your staff recommended it. We drive past JKV once a week, so we have seen it from afar.

Nice facility with easy access to healthcare

My loved one is currently a resident John Knox Village and overall everything has been good for him so far. They have connections for doctors and lots of care options. The staff is friendly and the food is good. The units are average and showing signs of age. Overall, not bad for your value, but there are a lot of newer options in the KC area. Ultimately yes, I would recommend John Knox Village to others.

Don't settle - there could be much better places out there

This community is another universe from where was living beforehand. But for "A Place for Mom" recommendation to check-it-out, I would never have conceived that I, financially, would ever been able to live here - because, in this area,the conventional wisdom is that it's very expensive. Turns-out I'm paying less than I was at my previous Senior Independent Living facility (which had degenerated over the more than five years there, to having such disregard for its residents, that it's conduct should, perhaps , be classified as a form if elderly abuse!) - and getting so much more here.

A Wonderful Community with Phenomenal Staff

The friendliness of the staff gets a 5++++ and even with the community being quite costly, they do a great job there! With the meals - the quality is good and tasty food, but just looking forward to having them hire no staff so that the restaurants can be open more often!! Based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend John Knox Village to other families.

Very very happy with John Knox Village so far! I would recommend to my friends and family. The admission staff continues to check in on him even after getting him as a resident. That means a lot to me.

Come be with us

We picked this community because, other family members did research and found this place. It's a good place to be. They are short of staff sometimes, so the rooms is not always as clean. My advice, to others looking into this facility is, you would enjoy coming hear and being with the people.

Our family has visited this community many times - their food seems like buffet styled food they get out of a can and reheat, it does seem like home cooked meals. The community is very spread out and the lay out of the rooms were just not great
