Celebrating thisanniversary brought to mindthe people who were here in1970 at the beginning of
John Knox Village.Thesebold pioneers looked forward
with hope and optimism. Iam proud that even 40 yearslater we are still pioneers,
looking forward withoptimism and seizing newopportunities to serve.
What do the numbers show us?As the CEO, I look at numbers every day. Theyre
exciting because they show where we are now,and justhow far we have come since 1970. We now serve more seniors than ever in our history
(around 6,000 per year), through our continuing careretirement community, home health services,hospicecare, private duty care and in-home technologyservices. We touch the lives of thousands morethrough our ambulance services,restaurants, supportgroups,the Auxiliary shops and The Pavilion.
We employ more associates (now nearly 1,100) thanwe ever have.
We bring in more revenue than ever: $65.6 millionfor Fiscal Year 2011.
Most importantly, I believe we provide people withbetter services, offer more choices and have the best careoptions we have ever had.And making all that runsmoothly is a committed group of associates who arededicated to building the kind of relationships that areimportant to us at John Knox Village.

How do we see past the numbers?We take our mission very seriously.The numbers are
important,and we manage our business by watching thenumbers carefully to ensure that we have the funds weneed to carry out our mission. But we always rememberthat our mission focuses on people and lives. It drivesevery decision that we make. It helps lead us when we areat a crossroads.It is the reason we are here.
This commitment to enriching lives and buildingcommunity for older adults leads us to watch thenumbers and make decisions carefully so that we cancontinue to serve the growing number of seniors who willwant and need services in the future.

Village revenues, amounting to$6.8 million.
Valley View AchievesRecord-High Census
In November 2010, Valley View Residential Care hit a record-highcensus with 119 residents.
Several factors contributed to reaching this milestone, includingplacing a greater focus on marketing efforts to attract new residents,remodeling the front lobby and activity room, renovating the apartments asthey become vacant and creating a model apartment to show to prospectiveresidents.
In addition, new flooring was installed in Fireside Dining, hallwaycarpeting was replaced and new furniture was placed in the corridors. Eachof these changes was designed to make the building more appealing and toenhance the satisfaction of current and prospective residents.
Valley View Memory Care also had a fantastic year.This highlysuccessful assisted living program for those with dementia and othermemory-related issues has run completely full (22 beds) with a waiting listfor several years now, so it is time to expand. See more about this in theletter from our vice president of finance on page 15.

I was called by the daughterof a new Valley View ResidentialCare resident. She told me thateveryone on move-in day was sonice to her mother and that itmade her feel so comfortable toknow that she and her sisters weredoing the right thing in movingtheir mother to Valley View. Thehappiness, sincerity and
excitement in her voice wereundeniable. Many areas of the
Village touched this family onmove-in day, and it is this sense ofcommunity that compelled thefamily to pick up the phone and letsomeone know how they felt. Iknow I couldnt feel prouder to bea part of John Knox Village.

This is TrulyMy Family Community
While visiting me in 1968, my mother asked to go to Lees Summit tosee a project she saw on TV called John Knox Village. When we arrived,there was one small building. My husband started to park and she asked,Why are you parking? I only wanted to see it.The following year, she again
asked to go see it. As my husband drove by, mymother said, Why arent you parking? I wantto go in.
She liked what she saw so much shebecame a charter resident of John Knox
Village. My mother enjoyed many happy yearsat the Village meeting new residents and
volunteering. When my husband George andI retired, it seemed only natural for us to cometo the place where mother had been so happy.
We moved here in August 2001, and my sisterjoined us in the Village the following month.
Lillian Shippee, Village resident
Margaret North is a second-generation Village resident: Myparents lived here almost from thebeginning, she said. So I wasable to watch the Village grow.
A Perfect HomeI came to work at John Knox Village as a homemaker, which later evolved
into our present-day LifeStyle Services. I developed wonderful relationships withmy clients as I accompanied them to dinner, prepared small evening meals, helpedwith bedtime routines, etc.
Soon after moving here in 2006, a resident I knew exclaimed, You are one ofus now! Yes, I am, and so much at home here. Over the years, my involvement atthe Village, along with people who have become my friends, has made this aperfect home for me.

The Associate Wellness Center is great. Ive been looking forsomething to help motivate me to take some weight loss actions, sothis is good timing.

JKV is a Family TraditionI have worked here for 27 years. During that time, I have had the pleasure of working in maintenance, in the
volunteer department, as an area manager, and I have spent 10 years arranging group travel for residents. Each ofthese opportunities has given me the chance to work and make friends with wonderful Village residents.
Working at the Village has also helped me to form stronger bonds with several members of my family. Bothof our mothers called John Knox Village their home. My husband, Bob, and I have three children. Our daughterConnie Taylor and two of our granddaughters have worked in different areas of the Village, and our otherdaughter, Teri, and her husband David have both been Village associates, too.

Bringing People Through
Our DoorsThe recent economic downturn has continued to affect prospective
residents decisions. Declining home and investment values have madepeople reluctant to make significant changes in their lives. In addition,moving out of a long-time home can be overwhelming. To counteract thisstay-put frame of mind, we continued to market John Knox Villageactively and added some new tools to bring people through our doors andinto new homes.
MAP (Moving Assistance Program). Professional downsizers areavailable to help prospective residents prepare their homes for sale
and to help make the physical move as easy as possible. In addition tomaking suggestions to get a home market-ready, another MAP goal isto help the home sell faster and for the maximum price so the sellercan settle into a new home and lifestyle at the Village.
The Its All True DVD.This videohelps prospective residents and theiradult children who are ofteninvolved in the decision-makingprocess but may live in other cities to see Village life in action.
These additions, combined withfocusing on entry fee sales, have kept aconstant stream of interested partiescrossing our thresholds, leading to$7.2 million in new entry fee sales, a$2.6 million increase over the previous year.

Courtyard Caf
Updates OfferingsTo keep their customers excited about their
dining experiences, each of the four on-campusrestaurants introduces new menus periodically.
To gauge their success, questions about eachrestaurant are included in the bi-annual residentsatisfaction survey for the entire Village.
The Courtyard Caf has been a popular dining choice since opening in2005, but based on the survey results, the staff knew they could do an evenbetter job delighting customers. So the Courtyard Caf launched a
partnership with Fuzion Food Group, introducing an entirely fresh menuof food items that are big on taste, nutrition and variety.We are able to serve more nutritious and fresher food because
everything is cooked using induction ovens, said Todd Hollander, directorof dining services.They use a great deal less electricity, have no flames orgrease, and vegetables retain 85 percent more nutrients than any othercooking process.
The new menu is just the start of the positive changes put in place atthe caf, including the addition of a full-service bar and weekend hours,said Hollander, resulting in a significant improvement in residentsatisfaction scores regarding food quality, menu variety and value.
The Villages active communityof older adults is such a significantpresence in the metro area that we
also are a population of great intereto local politicians. Residents alsoremain very active in the politicalprocess.
This past year, the campus, agawas the site of multiple politicalevents (held by invitation from ourresidents) including:
Missouri State Senate District 8Candidates Forum; JacksonCounty Legislature Meeting; StatRep. Will Kraus campaign visit;Rep. Gary Dusenburgs HealthcarReform Forum;Social SecurityQ&A Session with CongressmenEmanuel Cleaver II and RichardNeal; Medicare Forum with Depu

Calvin Community West ClosedBecause of its age and physical condition, and to clear the way for future development, we have closed the
Calvin Community West apartment building. Those few residents who still lived there were relocated to newhomes in the Village, the Ping Pong group moved to the Astoria basement and much of the furniture fromcommon areas was re-used elsewhere in the Village or sold by the Auxiliary Thrift Shop.

picture of the award winner only to hear his own name announced.
About two-thirds of the way through my regular two-mile walk, I thought, Mygoodness. I have acid indigestion. So I slowed my pace and continued home. Afew minutes later, I thought, I think my heart hurts, so I called the dispatcher andtold him about the pain. Within a couple of minutes an ambulance was at my door. I
was in the cath lab within 10 minutes of arrival at the hospital. The excellent andquick response resulted in very little heart damage. Thank you so very much for thewell-trained personnel who executed an excellent plan very quickly.

Power of the People:Gifts and Giving
John Knox Village AuxiliaryThe Auxiliarys Thrift Shop, four convenience stores
and fund-raisers earned $334,788 during fiscal year 2011,an astounding 19 percent increase over the previous year.
This allowed the volunteer organization to support theVillage in a variety ways, including a $25,000 pledge tothe JKV Foundation to help with construction costsassociated with the expansion of the Village House. (Seepage 3 for additional details.) Other gifts include a$10,000 contribution to a scholarship fund for studentsstudying for a career in health care and a $6,000 donationto Lees Summit Social Services to help purchase medicalequipment for a local child with medical issues.
John Knox Village Foundation
The number of gifts received by the Foundation waslarger (861) than any time since the nations financial crisishit.The number of major gifts ($1,000 - $10,000) alsoincreased, demonstrating that philanthropic spirit iscoming back. On the other hand, the Foundation receivedfewer major estate gifts than usual. This is due, in part, tothe reduced value of estates and a growing number offamilies who need help because of their financial condition.
The Foundation provided $150,000 in funding for theBarbara Elder-Owens wing of the Village House and isalso raising $200,000 needed for a second hallway.Whatsmore, $119,899 was transferred to the Village to fund a
variety of projects, such as purchasing new computers forthe resident computer center.
Finally, the Foundation contributed $74,704 to theResident Financial Assistance Fund.
Volunteer ServicesDuring Fiscal Year 2011, about 420 volunteers
(including residents and about 100 members ofsurrounding communities) logged about 68,000 hoursthrough about 75 volunteer opportunities across theVillage. The success of the volunteer program can beattributed to the variety of opportunities, and support aninput from departments who benefit from the servicesprovided by volunteers.
The vibrant program consists of volunteers betweenthe ages of 13 and 100. Village volunteers of all skill leve
aid in department productivity; increase resident, patientand customer satisfaction; and enrich their own lives, tooVolunteers often tell us that they derive great satisfactionfrom the work they do.

ASSOCIATE RELATIONS
Healthy Lifestyles Beginwith Opportunities
Several years worth of high-dollar health insurance claims had begunto strain the Villages financial health by causing higher premiums, and
with a possible $1 million increase in health insurance premiums for 2011,changes were imperative.
Relying on recommendations from an associate committee, Villageleaders took steps to make the Village self-insured and introduced aninnovative program Village Wellness that gives associates newopportunities to take charge of their health.
The centerpiece of the program is the Associate Wellness Center,which is similar to a walk-in clinic at a drug store.The program stepsbeyond that, though, by providing free clinic visits and free health coachingfor those associates and family members who are enrolled in the Villageshealth insurance. The clinics nurse practitioner can give physical exams,inoculations and allergy shots; treat minor illnesses and injuries; and more.It is run by WINS (Wellness Innovation and Nursing Services), which issupported by the University of Kansas Hospital.
The dramatic enhancement of the existing wellness program alsoincludes a number of components that are available to all associates,including health education opportunities and wellness challenges. Byfocusing on wellness teaching healthy habits, detecting health problemsearly and keeping track of chronic conditions it is anticipated thatparticipants will stay healthier and avoid the need for more complex care.
We needed to get a better handle on controlling healthcare costs forassociates and for the Village,said Vice President of Human Resources BettyFreeman-Boots.An easy way to get started was by helping people learn to
make the right choices, so that, in the end, less health care is needed.
I had several sessions withthe wonderful physical therapistsat the Associate Wellness Center.They worked with me until myproblem was resolved. My kneeis doing great, and we are stillworking with my shoulder at thistime. And it was completelyFREE! I do think this is a greatinvestment by JKV, and I hopemore associates will takeadvantage of it. The staff at the
clinic is wonderful.

year associate could move into asmall studio apartment inretirement with no monthly fee,potentially saving up to $10,000per year. Or that same amountcan be applied as a discount on the
monthly service charge for a largerhome.
This is just the right thingfor us to do, said VillagePresident Dan Rexroth.Our goalis to provide people with a positivelifestyle option after retirement,and this new benefit gives those
who spent so many yearsproviding services a chance toenjoy those services.

8/3/2019 2011 John Knox Village Annual Report
17/20
Nearly every area of the Villagehad a higher census than budgeted,including independent living,Valley View Residential Care,
Valley View Memory Care, Village Hospice andLifeStyle Services.The improved entry fee sales inindependent living produced more than $7.2 million inentrance fee revenue and contributed to an almost $12million net operating margin (adjusted).Only theVillage Care Center and Village Home Healthadmissions showed a small negative variance to budget,and steps were taken to help build future census stepsthat have already started making a difference.
Across the Village, many departments and servicesexperienced growth.For example, for the second year,
independent livings new dining program was includedin the resident agreements for new residents,which hasbrought a greater financial efficiency to the diningoperation.
Village Hospice and Village Home Health unveiledseveral support programs.The Village Care Centeropened a 10-suite unit that provides short-terminpatient hospice care through a contractual agreementwith Village Hospice.Village House funding wasprovided in part by a capital fundraising campaignmanaged by the JKV Foundation. A second unit isalready in the planning stages and is expected to beginadmitting patients in late Fiscal Year 2012.
Valley View Memory Care has had a waiting listsince it opened five years ago, signaling a need for asecond unit that will house 17 more residents. It is set toopen in early FY12.The best place for this expansion isthe current home of The Childrens Village, our on-sitechild development center.This center has been a
meaningful part of the Village but will now close to helpus meet the needs of the community for additionalassisted living memory care.
We expect the Village House and Memory CareUnit expansions to contribute to a positive change in theVillages operating margin in Fiscal Year 2012.
On another positive note, the Village realized a$1.2 million return on our investment portfolio becauseof improvements in the economy.
The Village did experience challenges on theexpense side of the balance sheet, and ended the fiscalyear unfavorable to budget.This amount was partiallyoffset by the increased revenues. We have takennecessary steps to better position us for Fiscal Year 2012,including reducing labor costs at the Village Care
Center; increasing home health marketing support andrelocating the Kansas office; and establishing the VillageWellness program to reduce our associate healthinsurance costs.
Thank you to the residents, staff and boards for theirsupport of the Village. We are grateful for the continuedfinancial support by the John Knox Village Foundation,the John Knox Village Auxiliary and the thousands of
volunteer hours provided by both Village residents andmembers of the surrounding communities.
