Knollwood
Nursing Home Facility
6200 Oregon Ave Nw, Washington, DC 20015
Since Knollwood opened its doors in 1962 as the first military retirement community in the United States exclusively for retired officers, their spouses or widows and nuclear female relatives, the mission has been to provide affordable, secure retirement housing and health care to members of the American military family.
With 69 beds, Knollwood is smaller than most nearby options, senior care communities in Washington average about 136 beds. Smaller communities often mean more consistent day-to-day staffing and a calmer environment, while larger ones may have more specialized services on site. Which suits a particular person depends on the level of care needed.
Federal reporting puts occupancy at about 57% of its licensed beds, so availability is more likely here than at busier communities nearby. That is below the Washington average of roughly 80%.
Medicare rates this community 4 out of 5 stars overall, a score based on health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Its most recent standard health inspection was in April 2023 and recorded 15 deficiencies.
Residents receive about 5.6 hours of nursing care per day on average, including 1.4 hours from a registered nurse. Communities in Washington average about 4.9 hours.
The community is located in District of Columbia County, DC.
Knollwood offers assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, independent living, continuing care (CCRC), and senior living.
