John Knox Village was founded in 1970 and is a nondenominational, not-for-profit organization. Located in Lee’s Summit, Mo, the Village is more than a retirement community – it’s a neighborhood. The strong foundation upon which our great community was built consists of more than concrete, boards and nails.

The Village is identified by the emphasis it places on providing high quality services and amenitites to its residents and other customers and the continuum of care it offers to enhance resident quality of life.
