Celebration Villa of Summit Hills sits in a lively Northern Kentucky neighborhood, real close to pharmacies like Walgreens and churches including Seven Hills Church, which makes getting medicine or attending a service easy for folks who live there, and you'll find it's a place where seniors can go out together to local spots like York Street Cafe or grab a bite at Cracker Barrel because the staff takes residents on regular trips out, plus there's group visits to nearby museums, shops, and festivals for folks who want to stay active. The community supports independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all right together, so people don't have to move if their needs change. Independent living suits those who are mostly self-sufficient but like being in a friendly, social place, while assisted living helps with daily things like managing medications or getting dressed, and the Memory Care Neighborhood is built for folks facing Alzheimer's or other memory challenges, with the "Along the Journey" program focused on kindness and comfort, securing safety with alarm bracelets and special outdoor spots.
The whole place has an easy southern charm-think front porch rocking chairs, stained glass in the common areas, flower beds all over, and a backyard patio with a shaded pergola where people can sit or visit. Apartments come in various sizes, from cozy studios to two-bedroom layouts, all with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, natural light, and neutral colors. You'll see residents' dogs or cats around too, because the community welcomes pets and even helps with pet care if someone needs it. Seniors get to choose how they fill their days, joining art classes, fitness groups, outdoor barbeques, or sitting with friends on patios, with walking paths and gardens right on site when they want a bit of quiet or a stroll. The life enrichment programs cover everything from creative arts and workshops to group outings, devotional services in a small chapel decorated for reflection, and there are plenty of community events on and off site so residents can stay social.
For care, licensed nurses and awake staff work around the clock, with doctors and dentists able to visit on-site, and there's telehealth for quick appointments without leaving the building. Residents get help as needed with personal tasks like bathing, grooming, or toileting-staff are trained to help with things like incontinence or helping residents remember to use the bathroom, and for folks who need extra support moving around, there are mechanical lifts and hands-on help, whether someone needs a little assistance or full transfers. Diabetic residents have their blood sugar checked, medicines like insulin managed, and there are services to support people with behavioral needs or major memory issues, including residents who might be at risk of wandering or elopement, always using discreet technology like alarm bracelets to keep folks safe.
The community cares for both those planning to stay for the long haul and people needing short-term respite after a hospital stay or when a family caregiver needs a break. Everyone gets daily housekeeping, linen services, cable TV, meal options in a main dining room with restaurant-style service, and snacks in an Anytime Cafe. The executive director, Tina Newman, and the team focus on keeping everyone feeling like part of a family while giving as much independence as possible. Celebration Villa of Summit Hills stands out by making sure seniors receive respectful, personalized care with all the support and social opportunities needed to help them live a good, secure life and stay connected to their loved ones through a family app that shares updates. The whole property is wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate, with elevators and safe spaces, so people at every stage of senior life can find comfort and support without having to move again if their health or memory changes.
