The building houses 32 units including two market-rate one-bedroom apartments, one market efficiency, and twenty-nine Section 8 voucher apartments, and folks looking for assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or even independent living can all find support here, because Knoll View holds a state license as an Assisted Living Program and approaches care as a non-profit. The staff includes caregivers, CNAs, LPNs, RNs, a director of nursing, an administrator, certified home health aides, an activities coordinator, food service staff, volunteers, and there's both a medical director and a dietitian consultant, which helps ensure there's guidance for personal needs, including help with bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, diabetes diet plans, mental wellness, and coordination with outside healthcare.
Meals are prepared with special diets in mind, from allergies to diabetes, and served in a community dining room or delivered throughout the day, with housekeeping, move-in help, laundry, and dry cleaning making daily life a little simpler, and the facility uses a 24-hour call system for emergencies, plus offers transportation for errands and medical appointments, so folks can get to doctors or shops with less worry. Residents can enjoy furnished rooms with kitchenettes, walk-in showers, private phones, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and elevators; some rooms include a micro fridge and bathroom for convenience, and throughout the building, you'll see shared areas like an arts room, a common dining space, and places for activities or movies that bring neighbors together. There are outdoor walking paths, picnic tables, a beauty salon and barber, a community space for gatherings, and serene gardens, so residents can find quiet time or join in on group fun like recreation, community-sponsored events, trips out for shopping and cultural activities, and even training or learning opportunities that stretch from dining assistant courses to LGBTQI+ representation.
Knoll View stands out for offering affordable options, focusing on safe, steady routines, friendly and helpful staff, and a balance of active group programs and peaceful spots for those who want a slower pace, while also working on big-picture things like vaccine education and community health, plus offering membership groups, asset management, and special training sessions for workers. Staff pay attention to patient-centered care, and the community's designed so that residents--no matter what support level they need--can find daily help, friendship, and a sense of belonging, including regular committee meetings, roundtables, and a virtual senior center for more ways to feel connected. Folks say residents are friendly and the tone's relaxed, with easy ways to meet a neighbor or spend quiet time alone, so life can stay full and comfortable as circumstances change.
