Creating a Better Life For All Older Adults

Improving Healthy Aging, Prolonging Independence,
and Maximizing Quality of Life

4 pillars of ADF Care

“Leave No One Behind” Philosophy

Nemo Residio (Leave No One Behind)
At ADF we take this seriously, our “Leave No One Behind” mentality extends to everyone that lives at Knollwood and is only made possible through the generous support of like-minded individuals and companies, who want to create real impact.

These funds ensure that residents going through financial hardship continue receiving housing, meals, access to health and wellness programs, and the opportunity to age with dignity in a caring community.

Innovative Wellness Programs

Hope, Healing, and Purpose
Transferring discoveries from a lab setting, to updated practices and equipment, can be a glacial process. ADF does it differently: our strategic partnerships enable us to access innovations in the testing phase, years and possibly decades before they hit the market.

We believe superior wellness and medical care incorporates wholistic health elements that feed the human spirit. we pursue and cultivate programs that promote a culture of hope, healing, and purpose.

Person-Centered Care

The Individual Is At The Heart Of Everything We Do
Caring for each individual in our community starts by staffing with men and women who believe in and deliver person-centered care. What this means is that the members of our community are not a number, but integral elements with unique stories and purpose.

As a community that cares, Knollwood is focused on seeing each individual and working to meet their needs every day.

Premium Facilities

Maintain A Community Conducive To Aging Well
The bedrock of a residential community is the building and grounds. There is no community without the proper facilities and amenities to care for the people who are part of it. A rich history and legacy like ours also invariably means evolving to meet the needs of a constantly modernizing era.

This evolution ensures a modern, vibrant, lasting community with safe, energy-efficient, and affordable housing for our residents.
