JKVE has been so great over the last year while my dad has transitioned into this community. The staff have been great with helping with his overall well being and assisting with medication management. The residents have been so welcoming. Everyone seems to look after one another there.

My father made the decision last year to move to John Knox Village East. It has been a tremendously different experience than his previous 55+ community in that the residents here are very social and frequently interact with him and attempt to include him in activities. Hard to feel alone here. I've also been very impressed with the responsiveness of the maintenance staff and the services they provided from general maintenance to unusual services such as picture hanging. All of the staff at JKVE have been friendly, helpful and quick to respond. There are planned activities and trips. The campus is beautiful. Services such as medication reminders/administration are available. The kitchens are a little on the small side although dining services are also available. A very friendly place to live.

John Knox Village East is such a lovely apartment complex with ALOT of enmities that are included in the low monthly rent that are not on so many other Senior Independent living communities. Kurt and all the employees of JKVE are a 10 out of 10 connected and wonderful to the tenants. My 92yr old mother moved there in Oct 2025, and is thriving. No more sitting in her house watching TV alone. Waiting for phone to ring or a relative to stop by and see her or waiting for neighbors to come home from work. Eating alone, if she remembered to eat and wanting to have someone to go eat with or just go to church with. JKVE not only gives a tenant the choice of : Studio Apt 1BD rm Apt. With 1 or 2 bathrooms 2 BD rm Apt With 2 bathrooms They have within facilities: Beauty Shop Housekeeping Store Full Dinning Hall Weekly Church Service Full Monthly calendar of activities Bingo, Cards, Pool, travel to Casino, Breakfast Club off property, KC New Theatre trips, weekly bus service in town shopping, etc The medical staff and maintenance dept are fabulous. The tenants can just put a sticky note on wall where they want pictures hung and maintenance will do it! Dang, that’s fabulous!!! You will not see that kind of care anywhere! 24/7 RN is reachable by just flipping old fashion table land line phones( YES they kept those old things) receiver off or they can call them and they will be there in seconds to do a well check. My mother has a RN come and give her meds to her AM and PM, plus another nurse during the week help with her baths So many services You will never be disappointed you lived one moved here❤️
