Richmond is a tight-knit Ray County community where neighbors still look out for one another — and that includes looking after aging parents and grandparents. With a higher percentage of older residents and limited local senior care options, Richmond families often struggle to find quality long-term care that doesn't require relocating a loved one to Kansas City or beyond.
John Knox Village East, located approximately 25 miles south of Richmond in Higginsville, is the kind of senior living community that Richmond families appreciate — one where residents are treated like family, not account numbers. Our zero buy-in policy and month-to-month agreements keep costs manageable, so families can focus on what matters most: quality care for the people they love.

“They don’t just take care of my mom — they truly know her. It’s a comfort I didn’t know was possible.”
Families in Richmond who are managing a parent's increasing care needs often find themselves stretched thin, especially in a community with few assisted living options nearby. Our assisted living program provides the daily support Richmond families need — assistance with bathing, dressing, and medication management delivered by a team that genuinely cares about each resident's well-being. Our rates are significantly lower than comparable facilities in the Kansas City metro, and we never charge a buy-in fee.
