Leawood residents are accustomed to quality in every aspect of life, and senior care should be no exception. However, luxury price tags don't always guarantee luxury care. John Knox Village East offers Leawood families an alternative: exceptional care, genuine community, and personalized attention at rates that don't require liquidating retirement savings.
Located 55 minutes from Leawood, our Higginsville campus provides the quality Leawood families expect with financial sensibility they can appreciate.
