Benton House of Covington sits on Dearing Road with a layout that's all one level, so folks don't need to deal with stairs or elevators, and there are two central courtyards for walking, sitting, or just getting a bit of fresh air, plus plenty of gardens and patios if someone likes to be outside. The apartments come in different sizes, from studios starting at 330 square feet to larger studios with patio or courtyard views and one-bedroom options up to 552 square feet, each with their own private bathrooms, emergency response systems, and grab bars for safety, and these units can be customized or chosen as single rooms, semi-private, or with roommate setups. Residents don't have to worry about chores because laundry, housekeeping, linen service, and meals get taken care of, and meals are served in a family-style dining room for folks who like to eat together, with a private dining space people can reserve if they have visitors or family joining. There's also a country kitchen for sharing recipes while chatting, a media center for movies or games, and a beauty and barber salon right on site for haircuts or shaves, all tucked within a place that's pet-friendly and offers resident parking too. The care options meet many needs, from independent living and adult day care to assisted living and memory care with the Beacon Neighborhood, which is specially set up for people living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, offering a safer layout to lower confusion and extra support for wandering or emergencies, with each resident getting a personal emergency pendant and staff ready 24 hours a day.
No one has to worry about medication either, since they offer medication reminders and administration, plus support for mobility and bathing, and if someone's dealing with higher health needs or hospice, visiting physicians and therapists check in regularly. The activities calendar runs full most days, with exercise classes, walking groups, social clubs, volunteer programs, and all sorts of themed activities like happy hours, art events, and even Dog Biscuit Day, and they also provide devotional services on site or off site for those that want spiritual support. Utilities get included in the monthly rent-except for phone, cable, or internet-and community life centers around reducing chores so people have time for friends, family, and fun. Residents can use insurance, savings, or other resources to cover costs, and those qualifying for Veterans' Benefits or their spouses may use those too. For those that need a spot during the day, there's an adult day program for socializing and supervision, and folks looking for care at home can get some help as well. Staff is well-trained, friendly, and focused on keeping people supported but independent, offering care tailored to what each person actually needs, whether that's Alzheimer's support, skilled medical handling, or just some daily help, all in a place that tries to feel like a family and treats everyone with compassion. Benton House of Covington's earned some recognition and awards, but most people seem to talk about how comfortable it is and how the busy daily life keeps everyone feeling connected, safe, and free from too much worry.
