Warrensburg is a regional hub in Johnson County, home to the University of Central Missouri and a diverse community that includes long-time residents, military families from nearby Whiteman Air Force Base, and university-connected households. Despite its size and influence, Warrensburg lacks a nearby continuing care retirement community (CCRC) — leaving seniors, retirees, and their adult children with limited options when it comes to comprehensive long-term care planning.
John Knox Village East, located approximately 28 miles northeast of Warrensburg in Higginsville, fills that gap. We offer independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation all on one campus — with no buy-in required and month-to-month leases that keep your financial options open. For Warrensburg families exploring retirement living or long-term senior care, we provide the flexibility and quality that this regional community deserves.
