My grandmother has lived here for 5+ years now and it's a great community for her. They have…read moresmaller apartments and larger ones so when she and my grandfather first moved in they started with a two bedroom and once he passed she only had to wait a few months to move into a smaller place. Everyone is very friendly and respectful. My only complaint is a few years ago they switched food providers for the Cafe and the food and service is a bit below average. Just like the government, there is no competition in this market so I understand why. I can't speak for the dining room as I hardly go there. Although rather expensive, I would recommend this place for a nursing home with attentive staff and people who truly care!

If your mature parent is bored, isolated or at times, lonely, please consider touring the Village, and see this outstanding place.

Please do not choose this facility especially if you plan on being a part of your family member's…read morecare. They did not introduce our family member to the facility on arrival nor instruct us on the plan of care despite our presence for the first four hours of admission. We have also been present for at least this amount of time daily. Our family member does well with routine and help at home and is obviously now out of her element. The facility has chosen not to acknowledge our concerns. They state they do not have to have support person present to teach our family member who has no short term memory. They have refused to coordinate with the family for any meeting, and rather we get piece meal information from a different person each time. Our goal is to have a clear picture and one delegate who receives information on our family member. Please think about this review. I'm not writing from a place of malice but rather of extreme concern for those people requiring family support.

I am really sad to be writing this review because years ago we had a great experience…read more Unfortunately, it was no so with a recent experience. I even double checked the Nursing Home Compare CMS website and saw they received 5 stars, but there is no way Knollwood deserves 5 stars. The rooms are nice and clean, but the actual care was not so great. My father has Parkinsons (and just had back surgery) and requires a pretty strict schedule for his meds every 3 hours or he "freezes" and starts having difficulty thinking and speaking. We noticed that he was getting his meds at odd hours/frequencies and when inquired learned that they have a +/- 1 hour around med schedules. I understand this is the law and they are covered by this, but when the family is telling you how important it is to be more timely, you need to listen. Instead, we were told that they have 20 patients to deliver meds to and are doing the best they can and that they are covered by the law. Also, when my father and his roommate would call for assistance to go to the bathroom (both were on full assist/fall risks) they took a long time to come and sometimes never...even after ringing the bell 3+ times. Unfortunately, this resulted in a few changes of wet clothes and linens...let alone the embarrassment. It is so sad to see grown men pleading for help because they are ready to bust a gut. Between my mom and I, we were onsite there for 8-10 hours a day and the doctor never once came into meet with us, until I caught her in the hall running to another meeting. Also, I did go to the Nursing Director with my concerns, especially about the meds, and it did get better, but My Dad could also hear the "chatter" about my doing this. The PT and OT were great! John and Maycon were great and a few of the aides. My Dad will require nursing home again and it will not be Knollwood.

Do not go here. My husband had 7 falls in two weeks…read more Finally after the third trip to the ER, u Mass admitted him. Three days later we were at Fairlawn. my husband has many issues, balance being on of them. Long story short, I asked what my options were and I was told that he would not be sent home unless it was safe. He came home Saturday. Fell again on Wednesday, cut his head, another trip to the ER. I'm so angry. Saturday night I looked at the notes in his u mass portal. There was a progress note that said he was a high fall risk and could not navigate the home environment. I called the dr on duty that Sunday and asked why this nurse wrote he should not be home and he was sent home anyway. The dr back tracked and said he probably needed a blood transfusion. While he was there he slept in his day clothes, never had a shower in 9 days and no one helped him with his cpap machine. Don't go here!
