Understaffed for memory care
The staff is not nearly as attentive as they should be, probably because they are understaffed. I think it should be known that in the memory care unit at night, there is no one watching and there were 2 separate men with dementia that entered my grandmothers room too many times to count and tried to get in bed with her. I know they have dementia and it's not their fault, but staff should have some sort of alarm system for those who roam the halls at night. I feel like the simply assisted living side of the building would be fine with the amount of supervision, it was just not simply enough for memory care. We stayed 2 weeks before moving out of the facility. It was an expensive lesson to learn

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.

Not the care that was promised/terrible communication
I worked with Knollwood Pointe for months before moving my mother in. On the front end, they really sell it well. Despite me expressing concerns over this and that, they assured me my mother was a perfect candidate for this facility. It should have been a red flag that before she even moved in there was SO much turnover in staff from everyone from the sales director to the executive director. Once she moved in, almost all communication ceased. I couldn’t get anyone on the phone to see how she was, ever. I had to authorize her simply getting Tylenol and couldn’t get a call back for days, leaving her in pain. It definitely wasn’t the level of care she needed, but as a whole the facility is understaffed and it shows.

Our Experience
They seem to have a lot of staff turnover since Tarantino took over management. We did have an incident with a couple of PRN CNA's working one weekend. The director promptly addressed the problem and those people were fired. The facility is in need of some TLC, particularly the flooring in public spaces and landscaping. They keep saying they have a contract to get the floors replaced, but I've been hearing that for months and nothing has been done. We can't really afford the best though. So it works for our budget. I just have to visit frequently to make sure Mom is getting the care that she needs.

I would definitely recommend Knollwood Pointe to others. I like the fact that it is so small that you can get to know everyone easier. My loved one has been very complimentary of the staff. They have all been very friendly and caring. She also enjoys the meals. I've been a little lost on some of the policies and procedures when some issues have come up, but I think that was more about me not doing my homework. So far, my loved one been very happy at Knollwood Pointe. As for the value for cost, we were surprised that after only a few months the rent has already increased by $[removed].

Cleanliness- seems to be clean but dingy. Carpet needs replacing. Friendliness- aides are friendly as is office staff. Some nurses leave much to be desired. It does NO good to call on phone as you can't get a person. Leaving a message is a waste of time. Quality of care-leaves you wondering if you have done the right thing. He doesn't seem to be showered on schedule. Fingernails are always dirty. Stays in adult underwear/diaper for extended periods. Activities-only know about planting residents in front of the TV. These are memory care residents. Value-we liked this facility for the separate areas for activities, dining, and TV. It was also the cheapest but we liked it best. I am not sure that there is a place for 100% satisfaction. Price is going up 20%. Food-what I have seen looks good but since residents don't have knives to cut food, they pick it up with fingers if a fork won't cut it. If bread gets too browned, it gets served anyway. Ice cream gets put out while dinner plate is still quite full which causes one of two things: it melts or they quit the food for the ice cream!

Things are going good for us at Knollwood Pointe. They have been very accommodating and helped us with the whole move in process. They offer assisted living as well as memory care. It is a smaller facility that is more personal and family oriented. When you talk to them about what needs to be done, they take care of it right away. I certainly recommend them to other families.

We were very pleased with our short experience at Knollwood Pointe, when we came to tour she knew right away this is where she wanted to come. Unfortunately my mother has bad luck and hasn't been able to spend much time here. The staff is wonderful, [name removed] especially is just as sweet as she can be. My mother loved it here and we are sad she could not spend more time with them. We would absolutely recommend the facility to other families.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Alabama regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Alabama regulations for Assisted Living.
