Mc Knight Senior Village sits at 651 McKnight St in Las Vegas, right near the Strip and expressways, and covers a 6.4-acre gated community built for independent adults with easy entry and features for handicapped folks. The property, managed by George Gekakis Inc. from Las Vegas, began in 1997 and has 110 one-bedroom units plus 78 two-bedroom, one-bath units added in Phase II, all with their own kitchens that have dishwashers, microwaves, garbage disposals, large pantries, refrigerators, electric stoves, and European cabinetry. People get Energy Star ceiling fans, Berber carpeting, walk-in closets, washer and dryer hookups, and some units have covered patios or balconies with storage closets, while all get covered parking. Rent includes utilities and the apartments come with emergency call systems and security systems, so residents can feel more secure.
The community's all about giving older adults a simple, safe place to live, with social and educational activities, planned events like bingo and poker nights, and transportation to casinos, grocery stores, and other outings, plus free scheduled rides for group needs. There's a big shared clubhouse with a billiards room, craft room, health and wellness room, classroom for continuing education, business center, media room, full kitchen for group and holiday events, and a game room for activities. People can use the fitness center or join exercise and water aerobics programs, then relax at the solar-heated pool, Jacuzzi, or by the barbecue grills and under the gazebo. Mc Knight Senior Village's got both indoor and outdoor common spaces, along with a social club and activities center. Maintenance is handled for residents, and the laundry facilities are nearby for everyone, though some units have their own hookups. Pets of all sizes and breeds are allowed.
Mc Knight Senior Village takes part in HUD's HOME program and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, so some apartments are set aside for people who make 50% or less of the median income, and rents are capped to stay affordable. Meals are served on site, and the staff helps with daily needs, medication, and personal care, including diabetic and non-ambulatory care. The facility also offers short-term respite care for caregivers who need a break. The buildings are updated with new paint inside and out, updated cabinet faces, vinyl wood flooring, and window blinds. Units have satellite TV and broadband internet available, and elevator access in the newer four-story sections, plus there's plenty of help around since there's an on-site manager. The atmosphere's steady, with focus on comfort, activity, safety, and independence for seniors in Las Vegas near plenty of dining, shopping, and city attractions.
