John Knox Village was a nice place, and there were lots of activities going on. They were just priced way too high for us. They had a swimming pool, an ice cream parlor, pool tables, and all kinds of things to do. They also had a good working staff. They're perfect for my husband who's on a walker now as it's really hard for him to get about, but I don't want to pay that much money for something that is not really any better than where we are. We went there during this pandemic and they took our temperature and all that. We talked about money first, and the staff who accommodated us told us how much. We've been there several times after that because we're thinking maybe they're going to bring down the price, but they didn't. Their food was wonderful. It's all really good, I guess, for a cafeteria style of dining, but now they're already taking the food to the apartments or the houses.

We chose John Knox Village for my father because it was close to me, and because of all their amenities. There'a lot I can't say right now. They've been in lockdown pretty much since they moved in, so they're not able to use a lot of the stuff that they have. All the staff there is excellent, as well as the people that give the tours. They're very knowledgeable, they're very helpful, they answer all your questions. I was really impressed, plus the food is amazing. It's very, very clean, very clean.

We looked at the one-bedroom apartments at John Knox Village and they seemed to be fairly spacious. They have two windows, one in the bedroom and one in the living area, a big bathroom, and the closet was an average size. They have so many activities thay you can't even name them all. There's something going on morning, noon, and night, and what I really like is they have exercise classes, which I think is important to my mom. It's very good. If mom picks this place, I would be happy. The people were very friendly. It's an older facility, but it's very clean and nice, and they're doing some remodeling.

Dad is in John Knox Village. It looked like there's a lot of help, nurses, and assistance. He's in a room, with a bathroom, sink, and a window. It's too far away from me, but closer to my siblings. I'm impressed with the service so far, but they're expensive.

John Knox Village is awesome. They have five restaurants, a fitness center, a pool, a library, a grocery store, their own hospital community, a bowling alley, and a beauty salon, and a bank is connected to it as well. The staff is excellent. They provide all kinds of stuff like the coffee shop and the fitness center, and all that is free. They have different activities going on throughout the day. It is just an awesome place.

John Knox Village was very clean, but Mom thought it was dreary because there was a lot of the color brown around. The staff was nice. They had updated the other areas of John Knox, but they had not updated the assisted living area.

John Knox Village had all the amenities, full continuum of care, and lots of activities. The rooms were nice. They had a snack place with a small sink, small refrigerator, room for microwave, and a coffee pot, and the bathrooms varied in size. The rooms were clean and nice but small. The residents seemed content, happy, out and about, and lively.

John Knox Village is nice, clean, and had a friendly staff and above average food. The studio apartments were nice. Of course it's not like being at home, but the meals are fine. The dining area was fine and more like restaurant-style dining. It was quiet, and everybody seemed content. I think they should have more activities for the residents.

If the person has the money, it would be nice to retire early at John Knox Village. They go on trips, that you pay for and if you have a doctor’s appointment, that’s all free. They have three different restaurants: a regular dining area with scheduled meals, a coffee shop, and one open 24 hours a day, so if you want a cup of coffee or a hamburger at 2:00 a.m., you just go down there and get it. They are expensive but not out of line. If you’re independent, you can go into a high-rise, multi-level building or a cottage. If you do have to go to assisted living, they have a place for that, too. What I saw of it was about like living in a town. They don’t have any retail in that community but there are quite a few activities just across the street and down across the road, like grocery stores and fast food places, which is nice because you aren’t restricted to just that area. We were looking at a double and single bedrooms with a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a sink. I don’t remember if they had a microwave or not and somehow they don’t provide any stove until you go up to the cottages where they have a stove to prepare your own meals on.

I'm going to be moving to John Knox Village. My visit was very positive. Everyone was very helpful, cordial, answered all of the questions, and showed me around. I was very pleased. The dining area looked like a regular restaurant, very clean, and very neat. My apartment is very nice. There are many activities. There are two swimming pools, a bowling alley, fishing, golf, and all kinds of clubs.

John Knox Village really would be the most interesting to us. We thought it was very adequate, extensive in terms of services. There were variety of living possibilities, so it?s a large enough community that would provide options for community efforts and involvement in what is offered there. It?s close to where our brother lives, plus factor for that community. The staff was a very hospitable person who showed us around; we looked at an apartment, and it would be somewhat to our satisfaction. The rooms were adequate. The place was safe and secure. I know that he had a course that was there that I was very much interested in because I am a singer, so that was interesting for me.

John Knox is a very large organization. They cover everything from just apartments to assisted living to nursing home, and they are very prominent here in Lee Summit. I pick them because they have openings, they are reasonable, and they are just right down the road from where I live. It is nice that my parents are in the apartment together with a small kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and a big living room. The staff brings them their medicine. There is a nurse on staff and ENTs next door. All meals are provided, and they say the food is excellent. They have a swimming pool, a golf course, and a fishing pond. They do wood working classes and aerobics. They have all kinds of things.
