John Knox Manor – Retirement Community
John Knox Manor, Retirement Community offers assisted living, home care, independent living, memory care, nursing care, palliative care, and skilled nursing in Montgomery, AL. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living supports private living without daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision. Nursing care and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing support, and palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management.
The community has 98 beds and has served residents since 1970. Having several care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs change over time, because different types of support are available without requiring a move to an entirely different community. Respite care is also available for short stays, which can give a family caregiver time to travel or recover.
Catered Living and rehabilitation services are among the community’s specific programs. Short term rehabilitation offers a temporary setting for recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay, while a doctor on staff provides physician support within the care setting. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted as payment options. Located in the Seth Johnson Estates neighborhood, the community has a Walk Score of 34, making the area car dependent. Most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for routine outings. Terri K. Howell serves as the administrator. Residents needing assisted living, memory care, nursing care, skilled nursing, or another of the listed care options may find the range of support worth considering, particularly if their needs could change over time.
