What is the Cost of Senior Living?

At first glance, the cost of senior living can seem expensive. But when you consider everything that’s included, it’s more affordable than you think.

When you add up the total cost of rent or mortgage payments, utilities, property taxes, landscaping, groceries, transportation, home security, and entertainment, an extraordinary retirement lifestyle could actually be less than you’re currently paying.

See how a Life Plan Community in Lee’s Summit, like ours at John Knox Village, can make senior living more affordable, so you can enjoy a comfortable, convenient and exceptional retirement lifestyle.

Free Yourself from the Hassles of Homeownership with Maintenance-Free Living

Maintenance-free living at John Knox Village means you can experience all the perks of homeownership without having to worry about budgeting for costs like HOA fees, property tax or homeowners insurance.

You’ll no longer have unexpected expenses, like paying for repairs after a natural disaster or a costly heating bill after an especially cold month, because virtually all the bills you paid as a homeowner will be merged into a single monthly fee.

Here are just a few other costs that maintenance-free living covers at our Life Plan Community:

• Utilities, basic cable TV and telephone (except internet)
• Snow removal
• Trash pickup
• Year-round landscaping and groundskeeping on our entire 200-plus acre campus
• 24-hour security provided by security officers who are also EMTs
• Bieweekly housekeeping (apartment homes only)
• Weekly flat laundry services (apartment homes only)

Our easy-to-use Floor Plan Fit calculator can help you compare how a life at John Knox Village can be more affordable than living in your current home.

Simply enter some basic information about your household size, income and net worth. The calculator will match your results with floor plans that fit your needs comfortably. It’s quick, simple and completely confidential.

At John Knox Village, everything from our fitness centers to our seven dining venues are designed to add comfort, convenience and enrichment to your daily life.
