Vintage Knolls

My mom is living in Vintage Knolls. The atmosphere is welcoming and the place has three different sizes of rooms so you have a choice. I like the structure because the hallways are quite wide. There are big, wide verandas on the second level, so folks can sit outside and enjoy the weather. There are multiple sitting areas. For example, in the great room there's a large dining table for family to have dinner with the residents. Their work attitude is OK and it seems like they're all med techs. The director of wellness is very nice, sweet, and professional, but it seems that communication among staff members is questionable. When I toured the facility and met with the administrative staff, I really liked them all. I really think that they care about the residents. For the most part they really care for the residents, but I think they're very understaffed. There are a lot of puzzles and they play Bingo, but activities could be better.

My wife went to Vintage Knolls -- which is not too far -- and she seems to be doing OK. It’s very new, very clean, and modern, and the facility is beautiful. The meals they get are very good. The people that are there have been very helpful to my wife in adjusting to being somewhere else. They have exercises; they take them out on some excursions. They have groups that come in and sing. She enjoys being around other people. Her room is fairly large. It’s a single room that has a bathroom in it, 2 closets, and a couple of windows. It’s a large enough room that she doesn’t feel like she’s cramped in there. The great rooms and the activity rooms are all very nicely appointed. All in all, it meets her needs for now.

The rooms in Vintage Knolls appeared to be roomier. The hallways were brighter. The staff was fine, and people made an effort to talk to us. Their dining area was also fine.
