McKnight Place is centrally located near Des Peres, Missouri. Our gorgeous assisted living and senior care facility is located on the campus of our sister community, The Gatesworth, and provides easy access to shopping, dining, places of worship, major roadways and more for your loved one.

Founded in 1700, Des Peres has a rich and storied history. Today, though, people can find enjoyment in any of the six parks within the town’s borders. Des Peres also has a strong economic center, being the international headquarters of Edward Jones Investments and Redbird Engineering; the town also houses West County Center. Senior housing and care services are also abundant in the area, making it the perfect place to find senior care communities and other senior services.

When it comes to the cost of living, Missouri consistently falls below the national average, making it one of the more affordable places to live and raise a family. Even better, according to Genworth’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey, the monthly cost of assisted living and nursing home facilities in St. Louis and its nearby communities fall below the national average cost of staying in a senior living community and other care home communities.

Quality Assisted Living Means Peace of Mind

McKnight Place has served St. Louis seniors for over 30 years by providing impressive accommodations, beautiful surroundings, and uncompromised service in our assisted living facilities. Our residents enjoy gourmet meals in our restaurant-style dining room. We also provide our residents abundant options to participate in daily activities in spacious common areas. Your family member can also choose from a variety of floor plans and other personalized care options to suit their needs and personal taste.

Our staff is dedicated to providing your loved one with the personalized care they deserve while doing so in a way that preserves their dignity. For example, our dementia care team provides help with medication management, personal care, and other activities of daily living (ADLs). Our team is all about improving our residents’ quality of life.

Our caregivers set the standard for quality senior living and wellness. We didn’t build a nursing home; we built an assisted living and memory care community worthy of our own friends and family – selecting every detail, every healthy meal, and every activity with care. That’s why St. Louisans trust us for service and excellence.


Come see for yourself what the highest standard in Saint Louis assisted living means and how a top-notch long-term care facility runs.
