About the facility 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...

Great staff

I work in a lot of senior facilities as a private duty nurse, I always enjoy coming to IK because the staff and residents are always so welcoming. They are always busy and going on fieldtrips. The staff goes above and beyond for their residents and employees. I love seeing the residents sitting out front having treats on a nice warm day. Holidays are so fun at IK & they really get the residents involved in activities.

Fun & Inviting

As with anyone our family was very nervous about placing our grandma into a community. The tour with [name removed] was amazing ! She was so upbeat and friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a Lunch tour with her and [name removed] the Executive Director of the building they are so nice & the food was delish! I must say since my Grams has been living at Ivy Knoll she is living her best life! going on outings and doing fun activities that our family never thought she would be interested in. I love checking out their facebook for new pictures everyday. So Thank you A place for mom & Ivy Knoll for helping my Grandma enjoy her golden years, I haven't seen her this happy in years <3

Our Experience

Sometimes the staff is a bit disorganized, but everyone is very nice. The residents are really friendly, and that's probably the best part of Ivy. One thing I would be wary of is the owner's [name removed] current financial woes, which have attracted media attention. He just filed for bankruptcy and has $[removed]million in liability. The banks are claiming fraud, but he is pleading his innocence. I'm watching this very closely as it obviously could impact his ability to maintain the property and keep competent staff.

Wonderful Place to Live!

I can't say enough nice things about Ivy Knoll. My brother was hesitant to move into a senior community thinking he was losing his independence. Boy, this couldn't be further from the truth! This place is amazing! There are so many activities to keep my bother active and independent. I can't thank them all enough!

Very accommodating

I have found that Ivy Knoll has a very accommodating staff. Everyone is very nice and responsive. The residents there seem very happy with the facility and each other. Best of all, the cost is a great value compared to other facilities that I've checked out. This is not a place for haughty people that expect ornamental beauty and contrasts and it is not impeccably clean, but it is nice for the price.

I currently live here and I would recommend this place to anyone. It's a great value for all you receive. I get my laundry washed and my apartment cleaned every week. We have a dining room and they serve three hot meals a day. Catholic mass every Wednesday and Sunday. Plus I was able to bring my cat. The only thing I wish I had was a balcony. I love it here.

Great place

We are in the beginning stages of searching for a place for my father and when the time comes Ivy Knoll is at the top of our list. We were taken to lunch on our tour by the admissions director and it was a very pleasant experience. The food was great and the staff/residents were very welcoming. The building is clean and everyone seems happy.

highly recommend

Ivy Knoll is a very clean community and all of the staff members were very friendly. We had a lunch there a few times and we thought the food was really good. Our loved one did not partake in the activities but we always saw different things going on. For the value we thought it was good, we liked how they did your laundry and gave your three meals a day.

Small friendly environment

We choose Ivy Knoll for our uncle because of the welcoming environment. I believe the max amount of residents is around 100. Other places we toured had held a lot more and it was overwhelming. I love the small community feel. It seems the staff has a great relationship with all of the residents which I love. My uncle has only lived here for 9 days so far but we are very pleased and happy with our decision. He seems very happy.

Excellent

My family and I were blown away with how clean this facility was. Several residents stopped and talked to us while touring and not one of them had a bad thing to say and welcomed my father with open arms. Other places I toured we not this friendly or clean. We are in t he early stages of finding a place for my father but I know when the time comes Ivy Knoll will be at the top of the list.

Ivy Knoll is the BEST!

I have been a resident at IK for almost 3 years. I moved from another community close by and I'm so glad I did. The care I receive is top notch, the food is amazing, and the activities are great. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Ivy Knoll is the best senior living community around!

Our early experience at Ivy Knoll

Going in, it is really important to understand who is responsible for what. That was part of our frustration in the beginning, I did not know who to be dealing with for what issue. We have only been here a few months, but things so far are going well. The quality of the food is great, but the variety could use some improvements. They do offer independent living here as well as assisted living. If you have never been in an assisted living facility, it can be pretty shocking. Be prepared for a big smoking club right across the drive, they go out there every day since there is not smoking allowed in the building. They really do try hard to separate that so I give them credit for that. Maintenance has been very good, they are on the ball if he ever has any issues. They are located on top of a hill and I feel the facility is very safe. My brother is very very happy living here and he gets along with everyone and that is all that matters.

They're very friendly. The food is okay. It's hit or miss. I'd like to see less processed foods and healthier, more fresh options. They haven't been cleaning her apartment and her laundry, but they also had a Covid issue again recently. But we were having to remind them even before Covid. They're slowly renovating, which is good. My mom likes her room a whole lot. I know that staffing is difficult at this point, but she's getting her hair done there for the first time. Hopefully that goes well. She gets to see people every day, and she's happy. One nice thing is they have an attorney at no additional expense that helps with things such as getting the VA pension for qualified residents. That has been applicable to us, and a huge help. I also talked to residents when we toured, and there are residents that have been there nine or more years, which really says something to me.
