General Tribute:

🖤 Today on Black Leaders Awareness Day, we honor the profound legacy of Black trailblazers who broke barriers, led with courage, and shaped a more just and inclusive future.

At Knollwood, many of our residents, staff, and veterans continue that tradition of service and leadership. From the courage of the Tuskegee Airmen to the everyday strength of community members, their impact endures in our halls—and in our hearts.

This photo captures the proud beginnings of the Army Distaff Foundation, established in 1959 to honor and care for the unsung heroes of our military families — the wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of U.S. servicemen.

With the support of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, this groundbreaking effort led to the creation of the nation’s first residential community dedicated to supporting military families — now known as Knollwood.

For over six decades, our mission has remained steadfast: to serve those who have served our nation. 🇺🇸

Knollwood stands as a living tribute to the values that built it — duty, honor, service, and compassion.
We don’t just remember history — we carry it forward.

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.
