Moving to a CCRC also eliminates home repair, property taxes, and homeowner's insurance costs, and protects assets from future healthcare expenses. Many JKV residents are still working when they move in. ### Accreditations & Awards - Florida Governor's Gold Seal (skilled nursing) - one of a small handful in Florida - The Green House Model of Care - only Life Plan Community in Florida with this program - America's Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2025 - The Woodlands: America's Best Nursing Homes 2026 - GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency (Foundation) --- ## Frequently Asked Questions (Summary) Full FAQ: [johnknoxvillage.com/about/faq/](https://johnknoxvillage.com/about/faq/) **What is a Life Plan / CCRC?** A community providing independent living with priority access to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing on the same campus under a contractual agreement. **What contracts does JKV offer?** Type A (Life Care) - unlimited healthcare included in monthly fee.
