Overall Review of The Knolls

common 13 reviews mention this

Staff and care get strong praise

Residents and families repeatedly describe the staff as attentive and caring.

A large share of reviews highlight good care experiences, with many comments thanking team members for patience and attentiveness. Several reviews also mention aides and head nurses, including notes that most aides are wonderful while leadership should listen more closely to patients. There are also a small number of sharply negative accounts describing inattentive aides or poor management, so experiences aren’t uniform.

common 4 reviews mention this

Clean, well-kept rooms stand out

Reviews consistently mention the community looks clean and well maintained.

Multiple reviews call out cleanliness directly, including an immaculate room and a facility that’s described as clean and tidy. Visitors also describe the neighborhood as quiet and clean. One review uses very harsh language about the place and management, but the broader pattern is that cleanliness is a positive point residents and visitors notice.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Dining quality and meal structure vary

Dining gets mixed feedback, including comments about limited meal options.

Some residents and families praise the food, describing it as something a loved one really enjoyed. Others describe the food as just so and mention that meals may be limited, with one review saying only a single meal is served daily for the community (plus lunch sandwiches). There’s also a brief visit-focused comment about the dining area being nice, but the overall dining feedback isn’t consistently positive.

common 3 reviews mention this

Activities and amenities keep residents busy

Residents mention amenities and activities that help fill the day.

Several reviews describe the community as offering lots to do, pairing that with amenities and a positive view of the overall environment. One review specifically highlights an Olympic-sized swimming pool and the value of having space for independence. The community also offers planned daily activities and resident-run or scheduled activities, which aligns with how reviews describe a busy, engaging routine.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Upfront costs can be a dealbreaker

Pricing concerns come up, including complaints about affordability and entrance fees.

At least two reviews focus on affordability, with one reviewer saying they can’t afford the community and another describing sticker shock at an entrance fee. That second review characterizes the cost as not matching what an agency described as affordable. Taken together, cost is a recurring point of friction even among people who otherwise describe the setting positively.
