I didn't like Knollwood Pointe so much. The dining area was small, but clean. What they consider as assisted living, I didn't agree with. They identify their medication and how many pills they were supposed to take, and I didn't feel like that was any assistance; you're pretty much on your own. The room was spacious, and they had a courtyard and a laundry facility.

I'm very impressed with Knollwood Pointe. It is very nice and the staff members are very informative. They even asked what my father-in-law likes to eat and we told them. The rooms are very nice, too. The place is a little bit smaller than the other community, but we like that. It is also very close to our home and my father-in-law's home. The distance is very good for us.
They have a dining room, an activity room, and a reading room. They take the residents out maybe once or twice a month for dinner, they take them to the doctor if they need be, and they have physical therapists. The staff is great, too. This place is very nice, very clean, and very attractive. They have a courtyard as well.

My family is extremely happy in Knollwood Pointe, it's just wonderful. They have a little living room, a small kitchen type area, and a bedroom. They have excellent care, and they take good care of my family member. She has to have nursing care and they are wonderful. They feed the residents well and they also have areas where they can go outside, walk around, and get some exercise. It's just very nice. If she has to call somebody in the middle of the night, she has a call button that she wears all the time, and somebody come if help is needed. They also have a memory unit so that when the time comes, they won't have to move to another community. We had dinner there and it was really nice, and the food was wonderful. They have activities and take them on outings, they are very oriented with the residents, and help them get a good quality of life.

I visited Knollwood Pointe. We saw their 1-bedroom apartment and it was better than the other community we visited. They're also building and preparing a memory care unit. We went to the dining room and the meals seemed to be fine, and the housekeeping seemed to be great as well. Everybody was very friendly, and the person who gave us the tour was very informative.

I had been to Knollwood Pointe several times with my therapy dog. I thought that it was very nice. The director was very helpful. Their dining room was nice. The grounds were really nice. If I was going into assisted living, I thought I might go there. The location was very convenient to me. It seemed to be a very good place. I really liked the director. She was very nice.

Knollwood Pointe was one of our favorites. The people were very cooperative and followed up with us although we ended up not using any of their services. The rooms were excellent; the physical condition of the facility was top notch. The facility had recently been completely renovated, and it was very clean and neat. It was also very reasonably priced. We looked at 3 or 4 different places, and Knollwood Pointe just outshone everybody else in town.

We just went over for a visit to Knollwood Pointe, and we were very impressed. We enjoyed it, and my husband's step dad was very impressed with it. The nurses and the staff were all nice. We didn't have any food, but it smelled delicious. We would have gone to that except for convenience because the other facility was ten minutes closer. We looked at both the studio and the one-bedroom. Both had really nice views and a convenient setup for him to get around. They were all very clean, and I'm sure we would have been just as happy there. It seems like a hometown because everybody spoke to everybody when the residents pass by. They all knew their names, and it seems very friendly.

My mom was at Knollwood Pointe. I don’t think they took care of my mom as well as they should have. They don’t have a lot of trustworthy employees because a few of my mother's things went missing and I wasn’t impressed about that. They did keep her room clean, but not that good. With the food, I didn’t think it was that great.

My mother has lived at Knollwood Pointe for 3 years now. The staff is pleasant, and take great care of her, and a nurse is available 24 hours a day. Laundry and 3 meals daily are provided, as well as a beautician who comes only a weekly basis.
There are several room sizes and styles to meet the needs of the resident. There are daily activities to keep the residents involved and on the go, if desired.
I didn't get it 5 stars, because like everywhere and anything, there are some minor issues, but I don't think I could find a better place for my mom.

Memory Care Reviews for Knollwood Pointe
April 30, 2020
I visited this facility
Concerned that if the residents don’t have the proper expensive soap that is allowed to wash their hands that they go without. It has to be expensive natural soap.Regular handsoap not allowed. Also, no bar soap or toothpaste allowed out in the bathrooms as they say residents walk in the rooms and eat these items and toothpaste. Why should other residents be penalized for that? I think their is also a problem with theft. I have found clothes missing and unaccounted for. Everyone seemed nice and helpful and my mother seems to like the food. Always, hope things are going well as no one can visit right now. Hope all precautions are being taken.
