Overview
Mission
Enrich the lives of older adults through community living. A Life Plan Community (formerly known as continuing care retirement community or CCRC) offers the security of knowing you’ll have a plan in place and long term care options, if you ever need them. Unlike many senior living communities, a Life Plan Community offers independent living and a full continuum of on-site care, from assisted living and rehabilitation to memory support and licensed skilled nursing care. Why choose a not-for-profit community like John Knox Village? As a not-for-profit organization, our mission and long-standing values govern every management and financial decision made by our executives, our associates, and our dedicated board of directors — three John Knox Village re.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
