Odessa has seen steady growth as families move east from Kansas City in search of more space, affordability, and a slower pace of life. But as the community grows, so does the number of aging households — and Odessa's options for senior living and long-term care remain limited. Parents aging in place and the adult children and family caregivers supporting them often find themselves searching for quality care without having to go all the way back into the metro.
John Knox Village East is located just 22 miles east of Odessa along I-70, offering a full range of senior care services in a peaceful, close-knit community. With no buy-in required and simple month-to-month leases, we make the transition to senior living straightforward and financially manageable for Odessa families.

We don't require buy-ins or long-term contracts — just flexible, month-to-month arrangements that give Odessa families room to plan at their own pace.

“They don’t just take care of my mom — they truly know her. It’s a comfort I didn’t know was possible.”

Odessa families who are juggling caregiving responsibilities tell us they wish they had found us sooner — not just for the quality of care, but for the relief it brings the whole family.

Odessa is growing, but the senior care infrastructure hasn't kept pace. That's why so many Odessa families look east to Higginsville, where John Knox Village East has been providing quality senior living since 1965. Our community is small by design — small enough that our staff knows every resident personally, but comprehensive enough to offer independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing all in one place. For Odessa parents and the adult children who care for them, that combination of personal attention and complete care is exactly what they've been looking for.
We welcome Odessa families to visit John Knox Village East and experience our community firsthand. Walk our campus, sit down for a meal with residents, and meet the team members who make our community feel like home. It's the best way to see if we're the right fit for your family.
