Run!!! Don’t take your loved one here!!!

This place is a joke!!! The staff and management does nothing. They leave your loved one alone, don’t take care of their needs, and the staff is lazy. They expect someone else to do the job while they all stand around doing nothing. They get on their phones, eat while they should be caring for the residents. They never check in on the residents, and other residents roam the halls, allowing anyone to go into other residents rooms. No supervision. No common sense at this place. The cost is ridiculous!!! Too much for

Review for The Knolls

I would recommend the Knoll's to others. They have been supportive and welcome feedback to ensure my mom's needs are met. The facility provided the level of support my mother needed while having the appearance and feel of an apartment complex rather than a nursing facility.

Review for The Knolls

I felt very welcome there, the staff was friendly and knew their patients well. It was cleaned often, and they offered a number of activities for everyone. I loved the style and openness of the facility. It had huge windows with beautiful trees and landscaping, it felt very welcoming. I was happy to have my husband there.

It's a nice community

As trouble placing [name removed] as we had to moved him to monitored assisted living for 2.5 month. Then, all of his nurses decided he needed to go back to Memory Care. The community is neat and tidy. The staff members are very friendly and do their best trying to help. They offer up good activities for the residents like Morning welcome, refreshments, games & laughter, music & movement, happy hour, and word games are some he has attended in the last month! The value is less expensive than our local care center wh

Glad we switched

The meals could be better. I would say it's a good place with good staff. It's more affordable than some and in particular their nursing staff is better at working with the residents. They don't force extra charges which was our experience at another community.
