Overview of Ivy Knoll
Ivy Knoll is a 45-bed senior living and personal care community located at 800 Highland Avenue in Covington, Kentucky. Owned by Northern Kentucky Assisted Living, LLC, the facility operates under Kentucky license number 100935 and is a Best of Senior Living 2025 award recipient.
As a licensed personal care and independent living community rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Ivy Knoll operates under a distinct state regulatory framework and does not carry a CMS star rating. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services oversees inspections; based on recent focused filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The care model is designed to bridge the gap for seniors who require help with daily activities but do not need hospital-level skilled nursing care.
The seven-story campus provides a continuum of care, including independent living, personal care, and respite stays. Clinical services are managed by a 24-hour nursing team overseen by a Director of Nursing, with coordination for physical, occupational, and speech therapies available on-site. Support services include one-on-one assistance with bathing, dressing, and hygiene, as well as medication administration, where all medications are locked in a cart and managed by trained staff. While the facility provides safety oversight and redirection for residents with cognitive impairments, it does not currently operate a separate, secured memory care wing.
Residents may choose from studio or one-bedroom apartments, many of which were recently renovated and feature individual climate controls and emergency call lights. Amenities include a rooftop deck overlooking the Cincinnati skyline, a community library, a beauty salon and barbershop, and a pool. Dining features three chef-prepared meals daily, including low-sodium options, served in a communal setting. Monthly costs typically range from $2,000 to $5,300, which is below the local area average of $5,560.
Individuals seeking a smaller, award-recognized community with personalized care and structured daytime support may find this environment appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administrator directly to verify current pricing and availability, and plan an in-person visit to evaluate the recent multimillion-dollar campus upgrades firsthand.
