📰 Featured on NPR: The Changing Face of Caregiving

As the U.S. population ages and families grow smaller, caring for our elders is becoming both a personal and national challenge.

At Knollwood Life Plan Community, we see the heart of this story every day — families like Maurice White and Renee DeVigne, who have lovingly cared for their 104-year-old mother, Evelyn White. Their journey was recently featured by NPR, shedding light on the realities of caregiving, multigenerational living, and the growing need for compassionate support systems.

Beverly Morgan, our Director of Sales and Marketing, shared her perspective as both a nurse and Knollwood leader on the workforce shortages affecting care across the nation.

At Knollwood, we remain committed to providing exceptional, person-centered care — ensuring our residents and their families always feel supported, connected, and valued.

🕊️ Human connection is at the heart of what we do.

Warm and welcoming, Knollwood opens its arms to new residents and new experiences.

Knollwood is a tight-knit community of people who have a shared history of serving our nation. The buildings and grounds are safe, secure, and beautiful. The location in Upper Chevy Chase is unbeatable—adjacent to Rock Creek Park and minutes to Washington DC’s best restaurants, theaters, museums, and the nation’s top health care.

Knollwood is firmly committed to pursuing and applying the most innovative service approaches available today—keeping you engaged whether you prefer a busier lifestyle or something a little more quiet. You’ll find cutting-edge technologies and programs not offered by other senior living communities. Should our independent living residents ever seek care in the future, Knollwood employs an award-winning nursing staff with skilled nursing and memory care and support services (which are dually certified by Medicaid and Medicare) all while maintaining the highest possible five-star federal rating.

And, because of our donor-supported Financial Assistance Fund—which is sustained by concerned residents, corporations, and foundations—Knollwood residents who fall into financial hardship will always be able to remain at the community.
