I absolutely adore this nursing home. My grandma is always taken care of and they’re always so nice and sweet to my grandma. They’re always doing activities and trying to keep it fun for them. They care so deeply for their patients and I absolutely love that. It’s reassuring, knowing that your loved one is gonna be taken care of.
I recently just did a tour of John Knox Village East & Meyer Care Center. It was refreshing to see all the positive renovations in the Community. The leadership team was kind, and welcoming. There were residents throughout the Community smiling and several of them came up to me to let me know how much they love living there. If you are looking for a Senior Living Community the provides excellent service - I would highly Recommend JKVE -MCC.
Following an unexpected surgery and weeks in the hospital - my mother has continued her recovery in the rehab unit, with plans to transition to the assisted living unit when she's able. I cannot say enough good things about the care she has received, and the kindness of the staff. The hospital said my mother needed to go immediately long term care - but Erin made the trip to the hospital to perform her own assessment. Thankfully, she disagreed and determined that assisted living would be a more appropriate setting. The excellent therapy and care Mom has received has had a huge impact on her recovery, and proven that she is indeed suited for assisted living rather than skilled nursing at this point in her life. When I come to visit her every evening after work, my mother tells me about the great care and kindness she's received from the staff throughout the day. She's healthy, happy and safe - and I couldn't be more relieved. That provides me with such a sense of comfort as I'm at work during the day and unable to care for her myself. I was going to try to move her into my home and hire an agency to stay with her during my working hours. I found that the costs were going to be comparable to those at Meyer assisted living - but that would provide help for the weekday work hours only vs 24 hour care at Meyer. When I considered that Mom would be missing out on not only the physical therapy available at Meyer, but also the socialization she gets with other residents - we decided on Meyer and are glad we did.
My mother and I have had a very good experience working with the folks at JKVE from the moment she began to consider transitioning from homeowner to independent living at a residential facility. It's a process, of course, and the staff have been extremely accommodating and kind. The residents that she has met have been very friendly and helpful as well. She has had a very positive attitude about this facility from the very beginning and is enjoying her apartment location immensely. She is also looking forward to enjoying all the amenities that JKVE has to offer.
My Mom lived at John Knox Village East a little over 2 years. It was a wonderful place for her to live. Before we even moved her in, there was a lot of communication and everyone made her feel very welcomed! While she lived there the staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make her feel safe. They offer transportation to church, Walmart, the grocery store and fun activities that you can sign up for. They have many services available that provided peace of mind for me. Whatever your needs might be, the staff really want to help. When it was time for mom to move to the care center side they helped us move and made sure everything was taken care of. I can't think of a better place for your loved one!
