Stories from the community
“We feel blessed to be part of Knollwood’s unique culture of appreciation and respect…“
Washington has been a “base camp” where my wife, Priscilla, and I served, and out of which I deployed, for many of the frequent military and diplomatic postings in war zones from Biafra to Baghdad over 43 years of federal government service. Knollwood’s peaceful and friendly Washington location has provided us an ideal retirement with stability and wellness following our intense operations tempo. Life at Knollwood lets us retain as much as we want of our previous career connections, surrounds us with friends with similarly stimulating experiences and keeps us mindfully young with a smorgasbord of enriching community activities from which to choose and volunteer. We feel blessed to be part of Knollwood’s unique culture of appreciation and respect for both the sacrifices and rewards of residents who have given so much for our country.

“The ADF/Knollwood is dedicated to providing the best in elder care…“
I learned a great deal about elder care while caring for my mother. I am aware of all the hard work that goes into providing the best in this area. We owe our military families this kind of care, and I have a passion for supporting those who have served all of us. The ADF/Knollwood is dedicated to providing the best in elder care to our military families. That is why I support the Army Distaff Foundation/Knollwood.
