The Knolls

Nestled along Grassland Road in the heart of Valhalla, New York, The Knolls is a distinguished skilled nursing community that has earned a reputation for compassionate, clinically rigorous care in one of Westchester County's most desirable settings. Operated by a nonprofit corporation, The Knolls places mission above margin—reinvesting resources directly into resident care, staffing, and the quality of daily life rather than shareholder returns. The community's location in Valhalla is a genuine advantage for residents and their families. Westchester Medical Center, one of the region's premier academic medical centers, is practically a neighbor, ensuring that specialist consultations, hospital transfers, and coordinated post-acute care happen with minimal delay. New York Medical College, situated on the same Grasslands campus, further underscores the medical depth of the surrounding area. Beyond clinical proximity, Valhalla offers a peaceful, suburban character that is ideal for seniors. Kensico Dam Plaza, just minutes away, provides a scenic backdrop of rolling hills and open water—a favorite spot for family visits and outdoor walks. The nearby Bronx River Pathway offers gentle, accessible trail options. White Plains, only a short drive south, brings vibrant dining, shopping at The Westchester mall, and cultural amenities within easy reach for visiting families. Local restaurants along Tarrytown Road and Mamaroneck Avenue offer everything from casual Italian to international cuisine, making meal outings with loved ones effortless. For families, the accessibility of the Valhalla Metro-North station means adult children commuting from Manhattan or the outer boroughs can visit regularly without the burden of driving. The surrounding communities of Hawthorne, Elmsford, and North White Plains create a close-knit, community-oriented environment that residents often describe as genuinely neighborly. At The Knolls, skilled nursing services are delivered by an interdisciplinary care team committed to individualized treatment plans, rehabilitation support, and dignity-centered daily living. The nonprofit stewardship model means decisions are guided by what is best for residents—a philosophy felt in every interaction, from the nursing floor to the front desk.
