A year ago my mother experienced a fall, needed physical therapy & supportive supervision. Chestnut Knoll provided the Fox Physical Therapy Program, one of the best in PA.This enabled her to have therapy on site, while dedicated staff was available to oversee her medications, provide assistance yet encourage independence/autonomy with having her own room. She quickly became engaged in activities she loves all within walking distance: crafts, church, rosary, cards, bingo, movies, town hall meetings, and weekly field trips. She reports the food is delicious, 3 meals a day every day. The staff from various roles are very dedicated to her needs. Initially she was very skeptical of leaving her home and felt loss of control. A year later, she is self sufficient, and enjoys helping other residents and staff too! The entire Chestnut Knoll community has been a positive and amazing influence on her health overall! I can’t thank everyone enough!

My parents moved into Chestnut Knoll Personal Care and Memory Care. So far, it's been excellent. The administrative staff has been amazing. The care staff is very good, they're lovely people. The room is excellent, it's very nice. It's small, but it's very clean. My parents love the food. They've only been there a few days, and I haven't seen any activities yet. My father's skilled living and my mom's assisted living. But they're both in the same room, which was nice that they accommodated us. I think it is important that everybody is cheerful. They're very kind, respectful. They act like they care versus just they're there to do their job. I feel that they do care, and that's very easy to see. They show that.

My father is at Chestnut Knoll Personal Care and Memory Care. They're great. We've checked out a couple different places, and they were a cut above the rest. They're taking good care of the residents. Everything is perfect. The staff is very friendly, very professional, and very accommodating. His room is very nice. The entire facility is so nice, like a hotel, and he likes it. They distribute his medication to him, and they have many different activities. They take people out on field trips, they'll visit a bar, and they have card games, happy hour once a week, Wii bowling, and a walking club. There are people around all the time. Everybody that works there knows your name and is very friendly. The food is really good, and he likes it. He gets 3 meals a day, snacks, plus there's a refrigerator he can go and help himself. We ate there too, and it was good and healthy food. It's expensive, but it's worth the money, and he's happy there.

Chestnut Knoll is an outstanding facility. The staff from top to bottom are amazing. I have two grandparents that live her and I never have to worry how they are taken care of. There is plenty of activities for them to enjoy, along with exercise programs to help keep them fit. The staff is always kind and respectful. They love the food and always seem happy and content.

A very warm and caring facility . The rooms were perfect size. Many activities available. My father looked forward to meals where he made friends with his table mates. Staff greeted him early each day for a treatment. He really enjoyed her company. Lastly I was so impressed by all the staff remembering his name. Thank you for everything!

Chestnut Knoll opened it’s doors to mom when she was still able to move around, engage in conversation, and before her disease robbed her completely. Taking advantage of the Fox exercise classes, open to the community at no cost, enabled my mom to transition into the Memory Wing quite easily. She saw familiar faces, knew the surroundings, and felt quite “at home”. The staff at Chestnut knoll, Fox Rehab, and Caring Hospice ALL embraced my mom, loved her, and extended great care to her during her 9 months of being a resident. I will miss them all, since getting to know them and consider them a part of mom’s caregiving family.

I am writing to express my sincere thanks the entire staff of Chestnut Knoll for the exceptional care my mother received while a resident there.
It was a very difficult decision for us to move my mother out of her home of 60 years, and we were a little concerned as to how well she would adapt. My mother was a very private person and we knew she wouldn't engage very much. However, within days, my mother was comfortable and feeling warm and welcomed by the caring staff at Chestnut Knoll. The kindness of the staff members gave my mother much to smile about . . . and everyone loved her smile!
I can't thank you enough for all that was done to make my mother's stay so comfortable. As she came to her final days, the support the staff gave my family was overwhelmingly kind and understanding, and so very much appreciated. Every aspect of her health and well-being was considered, and we know that at all times she was under the best of care.
Again, our wholehearted thanks for caring for my mother with such love and affection. I will look back with nothing but gratitude for all you did.
Leo's grandson
My grandfather Leo was a resident at Chestnut Knoll for 7 years. He told me on many occasions that he liked the friendly staff and got along well with other residents. The facility offers a full calendar of activities each month, both inside as well as external excursions, in which he was a social and active participant. The atmosphere inside is very tranquil, and kept immaculately. Leo was very happy and content with his life there.
As the family member working with the staff, I was pleased with the level of care he received and witnessing the staff treating him very well. I am also grateful for everyone's support in a tragic and difficult transition where Leo's son, my father, passed away in 2014 and I took over the responsibility as family caregiver from literally halfway around the world. The staff was always as helpful as possible with questions, requests, concerns, and communication overall. I would choose Chestnut Knoll again if I had the chance, and recommend anyone looking for a residence to check it out.

We chose Knoll Personal Care for mother. It was smaller in size than others, and the staff was very personable. It was quaint and more family oriented. My mother loves Bridge games, and she participates in all the exercises and other therapies the contractor set up. They put a lanyard on their neck so they can hit the emergency button in case of emergencies, like when they fall and can't get up. Her unit is right across the laundry room, but they can do laundry for her. They have an open refrigerator with great snacks, where they can get food at any time of the night. They have a hair dressing facility on site, and they are at a price cheaper than I can get a haircut.

My Dad, Jack was only a resident of Chestnut Knoll Memory Care for 6 months before his passing but when my brother and I had visited endless other facilities we were relieved to come to Stacy and find Chestnut Knoll. It's the "Home" feeling Chestnut Knoll exudes that we knew we found Dad's next home. The staff was always wonderful to Dad and myself as a visitor and I was always kept informed of Dad's daily changes. The facility is clean and friendly and I'm glad and relieved Dad (Jack) spent his last 6 months loved and cared by Chestnut Knoll. Thank you Chestnut Knoll for taking caring of my Dad during a time I couldn't.

I went to Chestnut Knoll and was very impressed with it. I thought it was very nice, but I also realized that it was not what I wanted for my wife and myself at this time. The rooms were very nice, private, clean, and well kept. I was impressed with the facilities, and the services that they provide. There was a group that was crafting and some other groups that were watching TV. They had a happy hour while we were there in the afternoon, which I was surprised to see, but it was very nice.

Years ago, when my wife and I applied for long-term care insurance, we were told that the average stay in assisted-living was two to three years. My father was a guest at Chestnut Knoll, Boyertown, PA, for eight (8) years.
I would submit that his longevity at Chestnut Knoll was due to the care he received there.
The facility is modern, well laid-out, in a quiet corner of Boyertown. There is a TV area, a library, a dining / activity room and plenty of visitor parking. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in a professional manner, with guests having choices from a daily menu.
The staff is first-rate. Not only well-trained, the caretakers are friendly and full of empathy for the guests. The admin staff makes check-in / check-out easy. Billing is efficient, using the opportunity to mail monthly activity calendars along with the invoices.
There are numerous outdoor activities to choose from. They range from traveling to baseball games to listening to concerts on the lawn to judging in the annual car show. Indoor activities include exercise classes, mind-expanding games, birthday parties and musical events.
Chestnut Knoll truly deserves its Caring Star for 2016.

The staff at Chestnut Knoll Assisted Living was very helpful, honest, and friendly, and offered me free lunch. I liked the layout and the decor. The calendar on the bulletin board had a lot of activities. The grounds were very nice and very well kept. The dining area was very nice and clean.

I like Chestnut Knoll Personal Care and Memory Care because they have a rehab program, which will benefit my mom greatly. I have not heard any complaints from Mom about the food. For the most part, most of the staff is very good. The younger members are not quite as good, but they try. The facility is very clean and doesn't have a smell.

Chestnut Knoll was also very nice. The staff was great. The woman, who took us around, was very knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. The rooms seemed clean, and the staff seemed to be doing their job.

Chestnut Knoll was very warm, and welcoming. It had a very home-like feel to it. The dining-activity area was very nice. They had it beautifully decorated for the holiday. The people seemed very happy, and very pleasant. There were bright rooms. They were small, but comfortable. The staff was very pleasant. I think it would be a very pleasant place for my father.

I liked the very homey feeling of Chestnut Knoll. I thought the staff was superb. It was clean, and it has no odor. My husband lived there for two months.

Everything is excellent at Chestnut Knoll, and it’s so much better than the place she was before, like 10x better. They have three dining rooms, they are smaller than the usual one, but they are all really nice. The rooms are perfect, and the bathrooms are of the right size, plus they provide the furniture. They have planned activities all day long.

I visited Chestnut Knoll, and it was very nice. In fact, it has one of the best reputations in the Knoll area. The staff was very nice. The rooms were really nice, and they had three or four different kinds.

Chestnut Knoll Assisted Living was my first choice. It was really nice. They had a separate area for Alzheimer’s and dementia residents. The rooms were really nice. It was clean, and they had birds in cages. Everybody was friendly, and the residents seemed very happy. It was a beautiful place. The lady who gave us the tour was very pleasant, very nice, and very informative. They had a really big dining room, and it looked like a restaurant. It was really nice. I saw their calendar of events, and they had things going on all day long like bingo, movie nights, dancing, and exercises. They had a courtyard that was really nicely landscaped.

My relative is in Chestnut Knoll, and it's close to where she was. The staff was friendly and helpful. She is in a shared room. The food is good, and the dining room is nice. It's fairly clean. I would like a better communication with them regarding her health. They have music, social, crafts, and exercise. She has been there for almost a year.

My parents lived together at Chestnut Knoll. Even though my mother had dementia, my parents were able to stay together until the end which was very important because they would not tolerate being separated from each other after 70 years of marriage. The staff is the best of have seen anywhere, and as a nurse I have been in many other facilities. They are always patient, caring and truly concerned for the residents well being. There have a great therapy program. After my mother died, we expected my Dad to "give up". Through the love and concern of his Chestnut Knoll family he adjusted much better then the family ever expected. my parents did not get too involved with the activities (by choice) but staff always informed them of what was going on. They were allowed to have their cat there which meant a lot to them. my father recently passed, but family was with him and he was under the care of hospice. I would recommend Chestnut Knoll to any family who needs to have their loved one in a safe protected environment.

I would recommend Chestnut Knoll to anyone. Our Dad, Pop-Pop, and Pop-Pop-Pop, was a resident at Chestnut Knoll for almost 5 years. It was his choice to move there, but the family agreed. What we saw was a clean, odor-free facility.
What we felt was a sense of family. The staff treated Dad and the others as family. Any question or concern we had was addressed. The administrators doors were always open.
A new physical therapy program was started and Dad loved it because Medicare would only allow PT for a short time and after he was forced to stop, he would decline. He thrived with the new program with Fox.
Chestnut Knoll welcomes the whole family, from children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and
grand-dogs, too, to visit and take part in their celebrations.
As Dad neared death, we saw the love the staff had for him. We saw it in their eyes, we heard it in their words, and felt it in their actions toward Dad and us.
We were never sorry our Dad spent the last years at Chestnut Knoll. It was home for Dad and we were comfortable in visiting him at his home.

Chestnut Knoll provided care for my grandmother for over seven years and I could not have entrusted anyone more. They were consistently attentive and because Chestnut Knoll is not too big, they were able to learn her habits very quickly. Most importantly, she was extremely happy. In addition, she loved the staff, participated in many activities and fostered great relationships with the other residents. I am confident the last seven years of her life would not have been as fulfilled if she would have been home alone and did not have the great residents and staff of Chestnut Knoll.

I found Chestnut Knoll through Caring.com. It seems a very nice facility for my husband. It is actually only about 10 minutes from my home. All the amenities that we need are all there and they are very good. It would have been really convenient for me to put my husband there, unfortunately the cost of the facility was a little bit more than I could manage.
