The Knolls of Oxford sits on an 84-acre campus at 6727 Contreras Road in Oxford, Ohio and is run by Maple Knoll Communities Inc., which is a non-profit group that's served seniors for over 100 years, so you get a place with history and steady management, and folks from the management team can update things as needed to keep community profiles current. This place is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so residents can start out living independently and, if they ever need more help, they have access to assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and even respite care all within the same community, so once you move in you don't need to worry about finding somewhere else as your needs change. The campus has a range of housing types-there are independent living villas between 1,783 and 2,603 square feet with two or three bedrooms, some even have screened-in porches, fireplaces, attached garages with door openers, washers and dryers, and full kitchens, while assisted living means 28 apartments for those who want a bit more daily help, and then there's a 62-bed skilled nursing facility plus separate secured memory care for those living with dementia, so everybody's needs are covered.
The whole place is designed so seniors can stay independent and active as long as possible, and the monthly fee covers maintenance, all utilities except long-distance phone and cable upgrades, weekly housekeeping with fresh linens and cleaning, and even things like snow removal and trash, so you don't have to worry about chores or upkeep, and each villa has heating and air conditioning you control yourself. Pets are welcome too-both cats and dogs-so you don't have to give up a furry friend. Residents can use plenty of shared spaces like the on-site bistro, a full-service hair salon and barber, a fitness center, movie theater, library, arts room, and business room, and there's Wi-Fi, cable TV, and phone in the rooms, so you can stay connected in whatever way you like. The campus has walking paths, gardens, and even a fishing pond, plus outdoor programs, so you get space for fresh air or to sit and relax, and an active and friendly environment where people gather for all sorts of scheduled group activities, wellness programs, clubs, arts, and educational events, many run by the residents themselves, and there's even a formal tie with Miami University for folks who want to join in cultural and stimulating programs.
Meals are served in multiple dining areas and a professional chef prepares food with options for dietary needs like allergies or diabetes, along with all-day dining, so there's flexibility about when and what to eat. There are emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call system in place for safety, and staff are available around the clock to help with medication, bathing, or dressing as needed, while the average resident age for independent living is 76, showing plenty of folks want to stay active and independent but know they have a secure future with care on hand if it's ever needed. There's scheduled transportation for outings, shopping, and doctor visits, and The Knolls is close to McCullough Hyde Memorial Hospital, Piper's Therapeutic Massage, and Kroger Pharmacy for healthcare needs, so you're not far from medical help if something comes up. Residents can also count on services like laundry, housekeeping, move-in coordination, and maintenance, with assigned parking included. There's an application fee to get on the waiting list, and a buy-in fee for access to the CCRC, with a Future Care Fund making sure continued healthcare is available even for residents who outlive their assets. The Knolls of Oxford aims to be a place where older adults can feel at home, enjoy friendships, bring pets, join in activities, and have peace of mind about the future, all in a setting where support and care are always at hand if and when it's needed.
