4.0 out of 5 stars

don't judge a book by its cover

There is a certain folksy atmosphere there and the residents appear to genuinely like the facility and each other. The staff has always been very nice to deal with even when you factor in the high turnover rates we so often see. Ivy Knoll is not a nursing home but they took very good care of my mother as long as they could before we had to move her to a nursing home. The administration is very flexible in working with your needs. The food is always cooked fresh on site (many facilities no longer do this, I'm told) and is very good. For the money and value, you can't beat Ivy Knoll.

Ivy Knoll A Caring Senior Community

“During this time this community has just been great. We really like all the activities they have to offer, and it seems like the residents and employees are really happy. We would recommend this community to others.” - Review originally written on A Place For Mom website

In the welcoming town of Covington, Kentucky lies our warm assisted senior living community, Ivy Knoll. Since 2015, we’ve established our facilities to accommodate our aging community. We understand how difficult it can be to find quality assisted living, and we’ve made it our passion to dedicate comfortable spaces, compassionate care, and essential services to prospective residents in need of accommodations to gracefully age in place.

Our city offers plenty of opportunities for leisure and fun, while also maintaining a serene atmosphere for more relaxed lifestyles. Covington, Kentucky is home to Behringer-Crawford Museum, Doe Run Lake Park, Garden of Hope, and an array of unique sites found only in Covington. Residents and their families will always find something to do in our quaint town.

Our Community

Ivy Knoll knows that everybody needs a sense of purpose to feel fulfilled in life. We set the stage by creating a warm, welcoming culture that embraces everyone...

Review for Ivy Knoll A Caring Senior Community

It is a beautiful facility and the woman that facilitated our transition there was lovely. Having said that there was absolutely no privacy. Anyway The staff would just walk in without knocking, set the food down, and walk out without any sort of greeting one way or the other. A huge disappointment was the false representation of PT resources.

Review for Ivy Knoll A Caring Senior Community

We thought that the memory care floor would be a better fit for my mom, but she needed a little more help than they were able to provide for her.

Cost is the best .. improvement would be outside activities for residents. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Beautiful facilty falls flat on services

Was told physical therapy was available and it wasn’t . Physical therapist who Interviewed my brother was rude - strode into the room- failed to offer a contact - and for my brother therapy wasn’t available for at least nine days and then walked out of the room. Staff were generally pleasant but disrespectful of privacy. Knocked on the door and entered the room without waiting for a response on a consistent basis. The food was just terrible. I hate to say that because I know when you’re cooking for a large number of people with different dietary restrictions that it must be very difficult, but the meals were appetizing, lacked flavor and delivered in a Styrofoam container Without even the frills of a fast food drive-through. Its a nosmoking facility with signs erected in the driveway, directing smokers where to sit did not enforce their own rules. You could not walk out the front door without being confronted by a crowd of smokers sitting together in front of the no smoking sign.

Best Community Found!

I have now lived at Ivy Knoll for 6 years now. My experience has been nothing short of amazing. It is so nice knowing. I have such caring staff found 24/7. The food is decent and the building is always clean and smells good. I love where I live and all of my Ivy Knoll family.

Our families experience

While my mother has not been here since [date removed], she enjoyed the time she was there. The staff was attentive and communicated well with my family. The quality of care to the value (cost) was excellent.

Friendly Staff

Everyone I have come in contact with at Ivy Knoll welcomes you with such a friendly Demeanor. They are all willing to help out where ever is needed and treat the residents as family. The building is always clean and smells great. And the decor is so inviting! They makes you comfortable knowing your mom or dad has a second family to look after them. I love all of the extra activities they have for holidays that includes not only our family to attend but staff as well. Halloween & Christmas are such fun events for everyone the kids & residents of Ivy Knoll light up over the events and I love seeing the sparkle in mom's eyes again ! Thank you Ivy Knoll for loving my sweet mom and helping her enjoy her senior years with you as her second family !

Amazing Place

Ivy Knoll is a great place filled with even better people. The staff is always smiling and very attentive. The residents are kind and say hello to strangers. My family made the best decision when we decided to place my great aunt here. Highly recommend!

Would recommend, excellent facility with great staff

The friendliness of the staff was more than I would have ever expected. The level of care of concern shows they genuinely care about the residents. I like everything about the place. My father has been there since January, has no complaints at all.

Staff is always willing to speak with you and answer questions. Very visible and approachable. They are great when interacting with the Ivy Knoll community members; very caring. They inform me of things when appropriate. The physical move in process was good. The only issue was getting the insurance arranged. Overall, I would recommend the facility due to the staff and the care.
