The Knolls Retirement Community

My dad has moved into The Knolls. It's good. They provide activities and meals. They also offer help if he needs it. Since everything is shut down because of COVID there's not really a lot of activities anywhere. Normally, they have activities. They have outings, they have get-togethers, and they have exercise. They have all kinds of things. My dad says the food is good. His room is excellent. It's large and spacious. Outdoor spaces are lovely.

The Knolls would have been my preference for my mom. They had the nicest rooms. It's a brand new place. The staff seemed to be very attentive while I was there. I was introduced not just to the marketing people but to the nursing staff as well. I liked the rooms and I liked the room size. The dining room was absolutely beautiful. They offer private dining rooms so that you can have family gatherings there. They had a nice gymnasium, too. Their staff members seemed very nice. I met several of them from different levels. I felt most at home there, but my mom didn't. She was overwhelmed by the size of the place because it's very large. They had card clubs, movies, and lots of speakers and singing groups who come in during the week. I was impressed with the overall organization. It would be a beautiful place to live. It is located in a place that was a former golf course so there's lots of green space.

I just moved Mom into The Knolls. The people are very friendly. It's a very modern, bright, and cheerful place. The dining room is filled with people talking to each other. The cook and the chef come out and talk to the residents to see if they like their food. There's always someone at the front desk. They have activities for the people to do, and it's a very pleasant setting. The people are very pleasant and the staff is great. My mother was there for five days and then she got sick and just came back after being gone for about six weeks or so. They were standing at the door welcoming her back home. They're very happy. It's a little bit on the expensive side.
