Knollwood Life Plan Community

Assisted living is offered in The Terrace neighborhood, where residents who need help with dining, medication management, dressing, grooming or bathing are supported by licensed registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants.

Residents of The Terrace have access to outpatient therapies and on-site physicians and specialists, including primary care, podiatry, dentistry, audiology and virtual psychiatry.

Assisted living includes 24/7 personal care, housekeeping, care coordination and emergency response.

Wellness services include massage therapy, speech and occupational therapies, and a clinic with on-site medical specialists.

The Terrace offers private studio and one-bedroom apartments. Apartments have kitchenettes, large bathrooms with handicapped-accessible showers, emergency call systems and climate control.

Residence conveniences include weekly housekeeping, complete building and grounds maintenance, and cable, internet, landline and utilities included.

Residents can dine at the Caraway Dining Room, with table service, or at The Bistro, a casual full-service restaurant with daily specials and monthly theme nights.

Dining is on a pay-as-you-go plan, so residents are not required to take a set dining plan. Catering and meal delivery are also available, and menus are crafted to meet dietary needs.

Menus change seasonally and feature fresh, local ingredients, with flexible dining times rather than a strict schedule.

The calendar includes movie nights, guest lectures, Bible studies, live music and themed dinner parties, along with clubs ranging from gardening and mahjong to book chats and crafts.

Off-campus outings include scenic drives, museum visits, theater trips and overnight trips.

The Wellness Center has a heated indoor saltwater pool, a Jacuzzi, a fitness studio and group classes. The campus also has a chapel, a salon, a sundries store and Our Little Store.

Safety features include 24-hour reception staff, a 24/7 security guard, closed-circuit television at entrances, an electronic daily check-in system, and fire detection, alarm and suppression systems.

Knollwood is next to Rock Creek Park in Upper Chevy Chase. A Metro bus stop is at the front entrance, and weekday shuttles run to Sibley Hospital, Walter Reed and the Friendship Heights Metro.

Transportation is provided for trips to museums, galleries, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies and shopping malls, and residents with cars receive a complimentary parking spot.
