Meet Mavis Muller, a 95-year-old resident in our Independent Living apartments. She's lived at Knollwood for more than a decade and has lived a life worth talking about. To give a glimpse, we asked her a few questions about her 13 years at Knollwood ...
Thelma M., a longtime resident of Knollwood, is an enthusiastic member of our community. Her connections to our nation’s armed forces run deep, as she is both the widow and daughter of Army officers, and her stepson was an officer in the Air Force.
While you were raising your family, you expanded your living space whenever needed to accommodate your growing family. You might have built an addition or moved to a larger house. Your family was the focus of that household, and you most certainly needed the extra space. Now, the kids have grown up and moved out and have their own children. While your children need more space as their families expand, you need something that fits your active, retired lifestyle.
It is that time of year again, and fall is here. For many, fall means an arrival of an extensive to-do list. That list typically includes cleaning out gutters, raking leaves, putting up the storm windows, taking care of lingering repairs that are now time-sensitive because of impending holiday visitors, checking heating systems, weatherproofing… or researching, hiring and coordinating professionals to complete the to-do list.

COL Paul Bricker (USA, Ret.) is a career military officer who has served our country in a variety of positions, from commander of the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade in Afghanistan, to his work on Capitol Hill as an advocate for military families. Now at Knollwood, just a few miles from where he worked to help formulate legislation to aid members of our armed forces, COL Bricker is pleased to have the opportunity to serve those who (like him) know the special sacrifices of a life as a uniformed services officer.
