Assisted Living in University City

University City is one of the oldest and most culturally diverse areas of St. Louis county. Known colloquially as “U City,” the area is home to the prestigious Washington University in St. Louis, which comprises 2,312 acres of the City’s south end.

One of University City’s largest attractions is the historic Delmar Loop, an entertainment, cultural and restaurant district which has been dubbed one of the “10 Great Streets in America” by the American Planning Association.

McKnight Place is centrally located near University City, Missouri. Our gorgeous setting, located on the campus of our sister community, The Gatesworth, provides easy access to shopping, dining, places of worship, major roadways, and more for your loved one.

Quality Means Peace of Mind

McKnight Place has served St. Louis and the surrounding area for over 30 years by providing impressive accommodations, beautiful surroundings, and uncompromised service in our assisted living facilities. With plenty of senior housing and living options available, we can meet the needs of a wide range of individuals.

Who said living in an assisted living community had to be bland? Our residents enjoy gourmet meals prepared by our award-winning chef. We also provide our residents abundant options to participate in daily activities. 

Residential care plans are tailored to each resident’s unique needs. For example, depending on the care a person needs, caregivers could offer a resident help with anything from companionship to medication management. This sensitive approach to caregiving preserves your loved one’s dignity and helps improve quality of life.

Our local owners set the standard for quality senior living. We don’t build nursing homes; we built assisted living communities 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 senior care options, assisted living, and skilled nursing means. Contact us today to learn more about McKnight Place and get pricing details. We look forward to getting to welcoming you and your loved one to our Saint Louisretirement community.
