Over the past several months it has become apparent to several residents and their families this isn't a good facility to live in & we're moving our loved ones out en masse. My family has had older family members here for years & it's very sad to see what it has turned into. The current team probably does a great sales presentation to prospective residents and their families. But as far as trustworthy & competent leadership, please look elsewhere.

My brother has been in JKV Assisted Living, JKV rehab and now he's been in JKV Care Center for many…read moremonths. He has received excellent care from all 3 areas. John Knox has a great reputation in the Lee's Summit community for a reason. All social workers, directors of nurses, nursing staff, housekeeping, maintenance and cafeteria workers go above and beyond in the good care they provide. And it's all because they care. I've not been shy about expressing my brother's needs and my concerns. I always receive kindness and appropriate action from everyone. My family is very blessed that JKV is caring for my brother. Sincerely, Debbie Brummel

DON'T BUY IN... Save your money and keep your future options open…read more Independent Living at John Knox Village is very satisfying for most residents. On the surface, the atmosphere and grounds are very inviting and conveniently located near shopping areas. As time moves on, however, and assisted living and/or nursing care become necessary, the risk is high that the policies and conditions will disappoint. For example, transportation and activities at the Assisted Living facility, once plentiful, have diminished over the years. The Skilled Nursing Unit at the Care Center, especially Long Term Care, is delinquent with missing medication dosages, very long wait times for call buttons, and high staff turnover, resulting in confusion of dosages and patients. Hearing aids? Staff is commonly not aware of how to insert them or the need to change batteries. Weekends are especially devoid of clinical help. Administration operates on the bottom dollar. They squander resources needed for reforms and additional help so they can build and market to attract new residents. Instead of buying in and paying for future care in the Care Center, parents should carefully invest that money so that they can move to another facility should they become unhappy. Buying in is like buying futures in the market; it is gambling that the future care will meet the needs. The sales pitch is seductive, promising great things that simply do not meet reality. There are PROS: amazing volunteers, without whom JKV would be truly substandard, and the residents, who are very sweet and friendly.

I recently had a difficult placement situation moving a friend from a Kansas City, MO assisted care…read morefacility to one in Oshkosh, WI. She had been abandoned by her family and wanted to move back where she grew up. She did not have a picture ID or a birth certificate so flying her home was impossible as TSA would not have let her board a plane. With the help of Care Patrol of Appleton, WI, we contacted Ron Braun at Care Patrol KCMO. Ron made multiple visits to see her and arranged for her to move out of her Kansas City facility. He volunteered to drive her half way to Oshkosh to Iowa City, IA where I met him. He packed her belongings into his SUV and then drove her to Iowa City and then right back home, a 10 hour trip for him!!!! Afterwards, he arranged for her assisted care apartment to be cleaned out. To say this was above and beyond the call of duty is an understatement. The sacrifice and care Ron demonstrated to us was incredible. Needless to say, my friend, her new assisted care facility, and I were simply blown away by what Ron did. Thank God for Ron Braun and Care Patrol KCMO. Do not hesitate to contact them for assisted care or nursing home placement needs. I gave them 5 stars only because that's the maximum rating, they deserved 10 stars!

Rebuilding the Foundation After COVID-19…read more After spending 5 days in the ICU and another 9 days in a "normal" room with a combination of COVID-19 and Pneumonia, I headed home in a wheelchair. Guaranteed I did not realize just how worn down I was. Opting for Home Health Care for my initial rehabilitation was one of my better decisions. All of their therapists are professional, friendly, and caring. You always know that they have your progress in the front of their mind! With only one exception, their nurses were top notch. But most importantly they produce results. In just a couple of weeks I was doing things I thought would be months away at the start! I highly recommend their therapy in the comfort of your own home.
