The Community
Resident Life
John Knox Village is an exceptional home for independent residents who enjoy the social interaction and rich schedule of daily activities.
When you live at John Knox Village, time is on your side. Life-care living may actually extend life. Many of the John Knox Village residents move here in their 60s and 70s. They remain active longer, eat nutritionally and enjoy social interaction, which keeps them young at heart. Plus they have the peace of mind that nursing care will be provided, if and when the need arises. Many of our residents are living independently well into their 90s and even 100s.
The residents of John Knox Village enjoy an active lifestyle. They travel, take part in computer and fitness clubs, play bridge, and relish the many outside entertainment programs in the 300-seat auditorium. They are active in Village affairs serving as corporate board members, or participating on the Village Senate. They are also active in the community, and they volunteer. In fact over half are regular volunteers throughout the Village. The big difference between the residents of John Knox Village and those folks who don’t have a long-term life-care plan is that our residents know where and how they will be cared for.
As a resident – free from the mundane chores of everyday life – you’ll have the time to pursue travel, bridge, crafts, sports and the joy of new friendships. The Village activities staff organizes escorted trips to popular destinations in Florida, the US and abroad. You’ll enjoy trips to the theater or the symphony. There are shopping trips as well as visits to libraries, malls, and favorite restaurants. The activities staff takes care of all the details and transportation.
Activities include a Red Hat Society Chapter, a wood, metal, and stained glass workshop, shuffleboard, horseshoes, putting green, and heated swimming pool. Golf and tennis are played at nearby public and private clubs.
Visit one of our eight libraries, take a stroll around scenic Lake Maggie or Rex Foster Lake. Ride your bike or just relax in the therapeutic whirlpool.
Weekly religious services are conducted in the Village, and transportation is available to the many local houses of worship.
Some of our residents participate in the Residents Website, where they can write blog articles, post photo galleries, and keep track of the many events taking place in and around John Knox Village. You can visit our Residents' Website HERE.
