John Knox At Arrowhead sits on the east side of Montgomery, Alabama, at 9081 Atlanta Highway, offering care with a Christian, faith-based approach that goes back over fifty years, ever since the East Alabama Presbytery and John Knox Manor, Inc. got it started as a non-profit. The facility has a small, home-like setting with just 16 private studio apartments, so folks can keep their sense of independence but still have support nearby, and the staff is always around, day and night, to help with things like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, meals, and moving around if someone uses a wheelchair or needs a hand with transfers. Each apartment has a private bathroom, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a kitchenette, and residents get to add their own touches to feel more at home, and there's housekeeping and laundry services so the chores are taken care of.
Meals are three times daily in a shared dining room, and there are different options for allergies, diabetes, or special diets, all put together by a professional chef, and folks can have snacks or meals any time of day. Outdoor patios, walking paths, and gardens let residents get some fresh air, and if someone wants to join a group, there are community activities, movie nights, music, arts and crafts, a library, a fitness room, and a game room for gathering and socializing. There's church services right on site as well as offsite, since faith is important here, and the environment always feels respectful of dignity and privacy.
John Knox at Arrowhead offers different levels of care, from independent living for folks who want less hassle and more social time to assisted living, memory care for those who might get confused or wander, short-term rehab, and respite services for when families need a helping hand. There's in-house skilled nursing for medical needs, and the place is ready for people who can't get around by themselves because of the wheelchair-accessible features. There's also a beauty shop on site for haircuts or pampering, and regular support for families and caregivers. The community is smoke-free and quiet, with utilities and cable included except for private phone lines, so it stays simple and comfortable.
Staff uses electronic scheduling, visit verification, and other tools to manage care and make things run smoothly, and the team works to connect residents and families with resources and support, all to keep life as easy and fulfilling as possible for Montgomery's older adults. With its small size and friendly, local staff, John Knox At Arrowhead keeps a close-knit feeling with lots of attention to both the practical side of aging and the need for community, dignity, faith, and purposeful living.
