Kirkwood is a historic, central suburb of St. Louis County, Missouri. This charming community offers welcoming neighborhoods, vibrant local businesses, and a strong sense of community for people of all ages.
The railroad town is full of turn-of-the-century homes and buildings, many of which still serve the city’s thriving business district today. Known for its hometown charm and civic pride, Kirkwood has earned a reputation as a wonderful place to raise a family, enjoy retirement, and remain connected to the St. Louis area. It’s also conveniently located near one of the region’s premier senior living communities.
McKnight Place is located just minutes from Kirkwood, Missouri. Our beautiful assisted living community, situated on the campus of our sister community, The Gatesworth, offers convenient access to shopping, dining, places of worship, healthcare providers, major roadways, and everything your loved one needs to remain connected to family and friends.
Quality Means Peace of Mind
McKnight Place has served St. Louis seniors for more than 30 years by providing exceptional assisted living, beautiful surroundings, and uncompromising service. Who says senior living has to be ordinary? Our residents enjoy chef-prepared meals in a spacious restaurant-style dining room, thoughtfully designed residences, and a welcoming atmosphere where every individual is known by name.
Families appreciate the variety of living options we offer, allowing residents to choose the floor plan that best suits their preferences and lifestyle. Every aspect of our community is designed to support independence while providing assistance whenever it’s needed.
Our experienced care team personalizes services based on each resident’s unique needs. Whether someone benefits from medication management, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), or specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia support, our compassionate staff provides care that helps preserve dignity while enhancing quality of life.
Our local owners set the standard for quality senior living and wellness. We don’t build nursing homes. We’ve built a long-term care community worthy of our own friends and family, selecting every detail, every healthy meal, and every activity with care. That’s why St. Louis families continue to trust McKnight Place.
