We would recommend. Loving, friendly atmosphere, various engaging activities, a small, family environment.

The activities get a 5!!!! Since we moved Dad in [date removed], the executive director position has changed hands 4 times. That is what I have not been pleased with. Also, no one contacts me when this occurs, so communication on the leadership level has not been good. However, we have a great ED now who has a history of competence and longevity. Also, their nursing staff has had a huge turnover rate since we came, so some I've liked and some I haven't. I am paying a sitter to come 4 hours a day to make sure nothing is falling through the cracks medically. So, it has been somewhat stressful on my end. However, my Dad has THRIVED at Knollwood. It has a family atmosphere. He loves the other residents. The activity director, [name removed] is phenomenal. He loves the food, etc. So, while I have had some concerns for sure, Dad has loved it, so I would recommend it for that reason.... Read more

Pros and cons

Pros: Great fit for our Mom. Attentive and professional staff. Good meals. Con: Questionable business practices by ownership. Monthly fee was increased by nearly 20% less than 6 months after we signed up and Mom moved in. We should have been informed about planned rate increases during our sign in process. The increase was legal and allowed under our agreement. But as a matter of transparent and above-board business practice, the increase should have bee n communicated to prospects. I am certain that ownership had plans for the increase at the time we were searching for a place for Mom.

How Knollwood has become part of our family.

My mother came to Knollwood Pointe over a year ago and we are very pleased with her new "home" where it's about the people and really caring for one another. The facility is the right size for residents to each feel they get individual care and attention and the residents and staff have become more like a family to one another. My mother has special diet needs and they have been super to accommodate those needs. The dietitian has become one of mom's angels there who goes over and above to make my mom feel loved and special. When mom recently had some irritation to her gums and difficulty chewing, she immediately made sure her food was cut up or soft. And the dietitian cares for everyone with that degree of care. My mother is a great example of what they have done to accommodate not just her physical needs but her emotional and social ones as well. Sometimes those are the most important! And so many of the staff there do so much more than their job description; my mom genuinely feels loved there! My 93 year old mother is stronger, happier, more socially involved, and mentally stimulated than when she first came here a year ago. And my extended family all love and use the new GrandGrams to send my mother messages and pictures. My mother doesn't use a computer or smart phone and otherwise would miss those connections with her family. She loves getting her Grams delivered to her door and shows them to everybody! And I love that I can send my mother pictures and share what's going on when we travel. And I'm so thankful to be able to travel and have peace of mind that my mom is being loved, is active, and cared for while I'm gone. There is no other place in Mobile where I would want my mom!

Allen B. - Thank you for the very kind words about our community, its staff, residents and visitors. Your mother (and you and Mrs. B) are a blessing and encouragement to all of us. Your mom is a great testimony to the difference that great care, med management, socialization and consistent nutrition and exercise can provide for a senior. Thank you for allowing us to be an extension of your family. We are thankful for you all!

While searching for an assisted living facility I visited Knollwood Pointe, and after a thorough tour, I felt as if I has found my home! It is exceptionally clean, new friendly. My apartment is cleaned, my laundry done, nurses on duty 24 hours, my meals prepared, activities to participate in, beauty salon on the premise, lovely courtyard and patio, porch with rolling chair. This is why I am happy to call Knollwood Pointe home!

When it became necessary to go into an assisted living facility, I chose Knollwood Pointe because it was small in my neighborhood and church parish it is clean and attractively decorated. There is a lovely garden courtyard outside of my window. The care givers are unfailingly kind and pleasant. The staff is available and helpful. The food is adequate activities are provided. It is my home now.

They Were Not A Good Fit

We really liked the community and we were set to move my loved in one after an assessment they said my loved one has early memory issues. They were not a fit for the community but when we took them to a different community they did not see an memory issues.

Thank you for the review. It sounds as if we were your first choice for your loved one and for that we are thankful. We regret that we were not able to serve your family. Assessments vary by community, nurse conducting assessment and day/time for the person being assessed. In an effort to maintain our deficiency free rating with the state and to observe the acuity level of those who live in our community we always err on the side of caution when admitting residents. If we feel that anything might jeopardize a resident's ability to thrive or that we would not be able to provide the safest, best quality of care we would rather suggest alternative care options than risk the health or safety of your loved one. Decisions to decline admission are often difficult but we feel that they are in the best interest of all parties involved. We hope you can respect that and sincerely hope that your loved one is happy and healthy at whichever community you all chose.

Amazing healthcare

This place is God sent! I had a stroke, and thought my life was over. I found Knollwood Pointe, the healthcare here has helped me to have my life back. I felt at home from the time I entered the front door. I was greeted with love, kindness, and a special care like no other place I had been. The director { Venessa Cooks} is like no other, she greets each resident on a daily basis with concern, and a caring smile. This community is the best place I could have ever imagined!
