Senior Rehabilitation to Recover Better, Faster

Following an illness, injury or surgery, you want to get back to living as independently as possible – as soon as possible. That may require assistance from therapists with expertise in senior rehabilitation services.

You don’t need to live at John Knox Village to use our services! Our not-for-profit Life Plan Community has provided a continuum of care for seniors for more than 50 years, and we have developed a spectrum of short term inpatient, in-home and outpatient rehab services for:

  • Residents from the Kansas City area and beyond
  • Residents of John Knox Village

Our care teams understand how mature bodies respond differently and are aware of injuries, disorders and disease processes common to older adults. Let us help get you back to your best self.
