John Knox Village of Florida

What John Knox Village of Florida does

John Knox Village of Florida is a not-for-profit Life Plan Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) founded in 1967 and operating on a 70-acre campus in Pompano Beach, Florida. It serves approximately 1,000 residents through a full continuum of care that includes independent living residences across multiple towers (Cassels Tower, Heritage Tower, Village Towers, East Lake, Garden Villas, Westlake), assisted living at Gardens West, skilled nursing and rehabilitation at The Woodlands, the John Knox Village Home Health Agency, and end-of-life care through a Trustbridge Hospice partnership. The community is licensed under Florida skilled nursing facility #1258096, assisted living facility #5424, and home health agency #20601096.

The business model is structured around two contract types that monetize both upfront and recurring resident relationships. Type A Life Care contracts charge a one-time entrance fee starting around $155K-$185K plus ongoing monthly service fees, and provide unlimited future assisted living and skilled nursing coverage at no incremental cost. Type C Fee-for-Service contracts carry the same entrance and monthly fee structure but bill residents at the prevailing rate (with a 10% discount) when higher-level care is needed. Ancillary revenue is generated through the Home Health Agency (200 nurses and aides), dining operations, catering, and a robust program of 250+ monthly wellness, arts, cultural, and fitness events anchored by a 330-seat Cultural Arts Center.

The operating stack includes a Verkada cloud-managed security platform with AI-powered facial recognition for perimeter and wander management, robotics for overnight floor cleaning, and an 'Ask Kim' AI chatbot for prospect engagement. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and sales-led, anchored by campus tours, Life Plan Consultant consultations, and a multi-channel media mix spanning billboards, TV, newspaper, email newsletters (Gazette ACE), Instagram, and a resident referral program. Marketing emphasizes lifestyle, financial security, and priority access to on-campus healthcare as the primary differentiators from independent living-only competitors.
