Your Lifestyle. Your Independence. Your Plan for the Future.

Choosing independent living at John Knox Village East isn’t just about finding a new home, it’s about gaining lifelong peace of mind. Similar to a Life Plan Community, we provide access to every level of care you may need, all on the same campus. What makes us different? John Knox Village East features no buy-ins, and convenient, month-to-month contracts for all types of care.

That means you can live life to the fullest today, knowing that if your needs change, assisted living or skilled rehabilitation services are available right here — no disruptive moves, no uncertainty, and no need to start over somewhere else.

Comfortable, Modern, and Designed for the Way You Live

Our recently renovated independent living apartments blend comfort and practicality with modern finishes. Choose from several floor plans that feature:

Full kitchens and private bathrooms

Open layouts with plenty of natural light

Step-in showers and easy accessibility

Personalized options to make it your own

Every detail has been thoughtfully updated to create a space that feels like you — warm, bright, and worry-free.

Every Day, a New Way to Connect

Life here is full of choices. You can start your morning with coffee and conversation in our community center, join a fitness or art class, take a stroll through the beautifully landscaped grounds, or simply relax with a good book in your apartment.

Social programs, volunteer opportunities, and community events bring people together — while private, maintenance-free living gives you the space and independence you value most.

“I didn’t realize how much I was missing until I moved here. Now I have friends to eat with, people to walk with, and something to look forward to every day.”

— Dorothy P., Resident
